1. Your Pantry: I really hope that you spend a considerable amount of fun and interesting times in the place you call home. As such, it should be the safe haven of your health! Stocking healthy, appetizing and simple foods is the cornerstone to eating at home. If you don’t have chips, candy or cookies in your house…you won’t eat it. You are totally allowed to force yourself into a better diet! You have to make it fun and delicious though, I am totally against boring and tasteless. Go empty that snack shelf right now.
2. Eat at Home: What’s the use of having all those wonderful choices in your cabinet if you just go out and destroy all your hard work in the gym by eating every night a restaurant? When you make dinner, you control the ingredients. When you own a restaurant, you control what’s printed on a menu. Reading a menu does not tell you how much salt they used, what kind and how much butter, the labeling on the sauces showing fat and sodium content and no one is going to tell you the massive amounts of sugar dumped into your dessert. Do this: Find a wonderful dish and recreate it at home tonight using modifications that make it a healthy alternative. Once done and enjoyed, brag about it :). Go clear off that dinner table right now.
3. Pack Your Lunch: Ever get tired of work and get really excited about lunch time so you can get out of the office, house or car? Yes, you should get out and enjoy lunch, just don’t do it at a restaurant all the time! I will never tell anyone to skip lunch for calorie reasons but skipping the sub shop is a great idea. Again, you need to control the food that goes into your body. Veggies and yogurt dip beat french fries, nuts beat coleslaw and spring roll wraps beat a turkey sub. Your body deserves to be treated well even when your colleagues refuse to do so. The bread during a lunch trip out can add up to 600mg of sodium not counting anything you put on it! Calories are another beast all together, you can hit a days worth, literally in half your lunch hour. There are all kinds of really neat lunch boxes out there, go buy one right now.
4. Get Up and Move: The gym is 3 miles away, the park is around the block, the treadmill is folded up under the bed. Don’t go to the gym right now, don’t bring your dog to the park this instant, leave that outdated treadmill alone to the dust. Get up and move. It’s not about doing the best workout you’ve ever done, It’s about the total activity level during your whole day! Stay active, do your chores, make your bed, fix the railing, pump up the tires of your bike, chop some veggies for tomorrow, PACK YOUR LUNCH, throw the ball with the dog, teach your kid how to properly fight with a light saber, teach your spouse how to properly dance. Please, please, please…right now…stop reading this and go move.Read more here:evening dresses london
