You may want to
start by assessing your overall lifestyle. Take a look at what your
daily habits are. Maybe you are just eating to be eating and not
necessarily when you are hungry.
1. Log
You may want to
start with keeping a log of your daily activities and eating habits.
Are you eating unnecessarily sitting at your desk at work? Are you
always eating as you watch TV? Take a look at when and how often
you are eating.
2. Calories
You definitely want
to look at the amount of calories that you are taking in, because if
they are more than you are burning, it may be impossible to lose
weight. I love my Tracker to Go Free app that I have on my
cellphone. It helps me to keep track of my daily calorie intake as
well as my exercise habits. Google play has many free calorie
tracker apps. When I first started using the app I was surprised at
the amount of calories that I was eating on a daily basis. It
helped me to be vigilant and conscious of what I am eating. I also have a free pedometer app that tracks how many miles I walk. This is good to use around the house as well. You will be surprised at how many steps you take around your house. Update: Also as of September 17, 2018. I am now at 128 pounds.
3. Questions
Although some of the
food we eat may be good to us, but not good for us. I had to learn
to balance. Eating too much of anything is just not good.
4. Exercise
Exercise if so
important in getting rid of that muffin-top. I walk several days a
week and also do about 100 stomach crunches daily. You may have to
find what works best for you. Maybe experiment with different
exercise plans. Cardio exercises are great for burning calories,
plus you sweat which is even better. Besides cardio there is
swimming, bike riding, dancing, skating, and so much more that you can do.
5. Lifestyle
I cannot stress the
importance of making your daily eating and exercise routine a
lifestyle. Are you making healthy food choices? That is another
important thing to remember. Instead of eating a piece of cake
possibly replace it with a fruit or vegetable.
6. Read Labels
When buying food at
the store, start reading the labels. Does that food have a high
content of sugar? If so, you may want to make another selection.

Hi, thanks so much for joining us on the #LMMLinkup this week. Your tips are great.
ReplyDeleteYahoo. Go woman go!
ReplyDeleteThese are good tips. I've found that doing planks has helped me tone my tummy a lot more than doing doing crunches. Plus, planks also help tone the arms, legs, and back, so it's a whole-body workout in one move!
