Gaining weight in excess could lead to a lot of negative results not only in your health but in also in the way you view life. You need to get back on track – the track to a healthy lifestyle minus the extra weight.
1. Start with a shorter workout, even a 20 minute walk is better than nothing at all.
2. Managing weight gain does not mean eating bland. Try new healthy foods recipe – it can be a lot of fun.
3. Eat a healthy breakfast. Your morning meal sets the stage for the rest of your day, so start if off right!
4. Drink plenty of water...Don’t forget to add 1 litre for every hour of exercise
5. In setting weight loss goals, you might need to look for like-minded people to train with so you encourage one another towards success. Look for a trainer who offers group sessions. You might even find a buddy to try that combat class with you!
6. Every little mouth full of food adds up, trust me. Know the importance of tracking food intake.
7. Share your goals. Be accountable to a trainer or a training partner
8. Put a motivational image on your iPhone, screen saver, fridge!
9. Plan your grocery shopping! Don’t be reactive, plan what you are going to eat and buy.
10. Check the nutrition facts before you put it in your mouth. Make yourself accountable for your calorie consumption.
11. Ride your bike, work in the yard, play with the kids….GET OUTSIDE
12. Take the stairs! Make a pact with yourself that you will not take the stairs to the gym!
13. Create a music playlist that is going to motivate you on the treadmill
14. Download an app to help you in tracking calories, water and exercise
15. Choose an outfit that doesn’t fit and try it on once a week.
16. Set SMART goals, by planning a weight loss program that is achievable.
17. Commit to a trainer or a friend to do a session or a class on a specific day and time
18. Plan a little reward for yourself if you do achieve your goal but definitely, it should not be food-related!
19. Talk to your partner and friends and ask them to support you, not sabotage you.
