Hey yall!! I am so close to my weight loss goal I can taste it! Here are this week’s tips to losing weight the healthy way and keeping those unwanted pounds off for good. Again, these are things that I have done and they have worked wonderfully for me this past year. I know it is not going to be easy, but if you can begin to implement these changes into your lifestyle, I promise you will begin to notice the results.
1.) Drink at least 6-8 8oz. cups of water a day. I recommend getting a container that holds 32oz and striving to drink one a day and eventually work your way up to two a day. A lot of times our bodies mistake thirstiness for hunger and that causes us to overeat. When you feel like you are hungry, try drinking a cup of water first.
2.) Come up with a realistic exercise regimen and stick to it! Although, I found that diet has the biggest impact of our weight loss, exercising is good for our bodies. When you combine exercise with a balanced diet it helps expedite the weight loss process. If you are not exercising regularly take small steps first. e.x. try to get at least 30mins of exercise at least three times a week and work your way up from there.
3.) Set small attainable goals and monitor your progress! Of course we would all like to lose 20lbs in 20 days, but unfortunately it doesn’t work like that. When you begin to change your lifestyle you will notice that you will lose more weight in the beginning and as you continue the weight will come off at a slower pace. Do not be discouraged! An average weight loss of 1-3 lbs a week is normal.
Hope these tips work! Stay tuned for more information from the Health and Beauty Section of Blondie’s Lipstick!
Love this!!……I'm gonna try to 32 oz. container of water thing. If I set that as a goal and keep the container with me, especially at work, it may help. Definitely worth a shot!!!
Yeah girl!! And you'll be helping the environment by eliminating the use of water bottles…
