Methods/My Routine

So my learnings/findings have come from experiences, google searches/other fitblrs and just some friendly tips from friends and family!

If you ever want me to recommend a fitblr/blog/site etc. let me know!

Methods:

Food

  • The only thing I ever drink is water, no exceptions!
  • For breakfast, I prefer to go light. I usually eat a serving of fruit (banana or 1/2 grapefruit) and a Special K cereal bar or yogurt. If that is not enough for you, maybe try a SERVING of cereal and skim milk.
  • Try not to eat out, you’ll save money AND look better. I feel as if it’s more difficult to eat healthy when you eat out and are around others. If you go to school, pack your lunch. I usually pack a sandwich on wheat bread with mustard, lettuce and deli turkey. It’s only around 235 calories.. and it’s filling! For a side, try some low calorie crackers, baked chips or fruit.
  • I eat around 1200 calories a day. Click here to find out how many calories you should eat a day.
  • Eat slowly and in moderation. These actually tie hand-in-hand together. As you eat slowly, your stomach has time to signal to your brain that you are full. This is when you should stop eating. Save it for later! 
  • Don’t eat past 7pm. Plain and simple.
  • Allow yourself to have one binge day a month!

Exercise

  • Perform the stomach vacuum everyday
  • Participate in the 100 Push Up Challenge
  • Exercise everyday. If not possible, try to exercise at least 5 days a week.
  • I try do at least 1 hour of cardio a day.  
  • Strength training wise, scroll down to “exercise plan”

Weighing Yourself

  • Weigh and measure yourself ONCE a week,  it will prevent you from being excessive, staying healthy, keeping goals and having something to look forward to!
