I feel like I have spent so much of my life as being "Fat," which I am not. Do I weigh more than I should or want to? YES!!!! But when I look at my lifestyle, there are some simple, easy things I - as well as you all- could do to be healthy and happy!!
I'm not athletic! Nothing about being hot and sweaty is appealing to me. I also realize that for me when it turns to fitness, I NEED STRUCTURE. Meaning, I need to go somewhere where someone is making me exercise, I can't just work-out at home. Now that I've discovered this, it makes it somewhat easier to be active. I think the reason that I've turned away from team sports is my perfectionism. I want to be perfect and I don't want to "screw it all up." So non-competive, individualized exercise programs work best for me. Now it's time for you to find out what works best for you!!!
Now here are some facts to become the happier, healthier YOU:
- WATER!!! Water is the best thing for you to drink, and your body needs a ton of it. You should be drinking HALF of your body weight in ounces per day. For example: Is you weigh 150 pounds, you need to be drinking a MINIMUM of 75 ounces of water per day. Below are some great ways to incorporate more water into your daily diet.
{Source} - Limit yourself to one glass of "real" juice per day. I absolutely LOVE orange juice. I could honestly drink 1,000,000,000 + gallons per day, but I can't. Orange juice is really good for you and offers needed nutrients, but only one glass per day due to the high level of sugar. Same with other juices containing vitamins and minerals.
There are so many ways to be healthy! What works for you? I will make these posts a series every month! Thanks for reading!
XOXO,
