I know it is easier said then done! But like anything else we pursue, it takes planning and dedication as well as motivation. So first, define what your motivation may be. Some common motivators may be to become more healthy, to be more attractive, to be more energectic. Once you have established your motivation, discipline yourself to make healthier choices. If you need help with that there are some good organizations out there that can help. One that comes to quick mind is Weight Watchers. There are also some quick tips for eating more healthy. Limit the amount of take out food you eat. Plan your meals. Cook recipes with individual ingredients (put together meals are high in fats and perseratives). Eat foods high in fiber such as fresh fruits and vegetables! Eat frequent small meals. Journal what you eat so you can know if you are eating the wrong things or eating too much. Eating right is not the only key to staying healthy. Exercising is just as important. Exercise takes discipline. However, once you start exercising and feeling better it becomes easier. Find an exercise program that you will enjoy. It will make it easier to continue. I love the wii and line dancing for some examples. There is no better exercise then walking. If it is hot or rainy out the local malls usually support mall walkers. It is recommended that you work out 30mins a day. The 30 minutes can be in two 15 minute sessions. So no excuses for I don't have time to exercise! Staying healthy is a day to day process, Revisit your goals and plan of action daily until it becomes a natural way of living for you.
