1. Check your posture throughout the day. Sit up straight and relax those shoulders!
2. Take a minute to stretch when waking up and get your circulation going.
3. Replace pasta and white bread with whole wheat, sweet potatoes or brown rice. Fiber will keep you full and help control blood sugar levels.
4. Slow down, you eat too fast! Try to savour mealtimes and put the fork down between bites.
5. Start your day with a cup of hot water and some lemon. You can even add a pinch of cayenne pepper to kick start your metabolism.
6. Try to mediate before going to bed. Even 10 minutes will help you feel better.
7. Lay out clothes and pack your lunch the night before.
8. Take some time to relax in a hot bath instead of taking a quick shower.
9. Make sure you have healthy snacks handy for when you get hungry between meals. Try nuts, yogurt, fruits and veggies, or dark chocolate.
10. Turn off all electronics at least 30 minutes before bed.
11. Put away the salt shaker. There’s enough sodium in your food already.
12. Never ever go to bed with makeup on. Keep wipes in your nightstand for nights when you’re too lazy to get up and wash your face.
13. Stand in front of the mirror, naked. Own your body and all of its imperfections!
14. Sit less, stand more. Stand up and move at least 5 minutes every hour.
15. Get between 7 and 8 hours of sleep every night if you can.
16. Invest in your health and go to the doctor for all necessary checkups. Ask for any vitamins you should be taking.
17. Binged on some fast food? Don’t feel guilty and don’t hate yourself for it. One bad meal is not going to ruin all of your efforts. Put it behind you, tomorrow is another day!
18. Spend more time with friends and people who inspire you.
19. Don’t skip breakfast, and try to make it high in protein. Think eggs, low-fat cheese and natural peanut butter.
20. Wear sunscreen. Every day.
21. Be grateful, count your blessings. Life is good!🌼 💛 🌼 💛 🌼

sometimes it can be so difficult to see progress, bc it happens over time. it’s important to acknowledge that changes are happening. like a plant, we don’t see it’s growth until we look back at how much it’s changed. give yourself time, give yourself credit. what you are doing to get better is hard work and you are doing amazing.
