Hello, we all know we are to eat healthy foods and exercise regularly, so what are our excuses? For me it was fast food meals and telling myself I'll exercise after work. After work, I would be too tired. Then the excess pounds hit me which forced me to put a schedule in writing of my day.
Just like time management in the work place, I implemented time management in my daily schedule to include preparing healthy meals and exercising. Before starting, I had a checkup with my doctor and of course, she nor I were pleased about my blood pressure. We discussed diet and regular exercise which I knew all along but kept making excuses. It was hard getting started but like everything positive in life, once you start seeing positive results, it motivates you to keep doing it.
Treating losing weight as a lifestyle change versus a diet works for me and I'm able to keep the pounds off. As a 3rd year breast cancer survivor, I'm more cautious now about the types of foods I eat. My regular diet consists of a lot of fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants, fiber and protein and lean meats. My meat consumption is far less than before and is not consumed during every meal or everyday. My water intake far surpass other beverages and I have added a cup of green tea 3 times a day. I do my best to exercise daily incorporating at least 30 mins of cardio and 10-15 mins of weight training.
Trust me when I say, what may work for me, may not work for you. Check with a doctor and see what is recommended for you and take that first step to wellness.
