Let"s Begin Your Weight Loss Journey Today!
What's the best place to start? Let's begin by taking a look at where you are at today.
After all, you can't measure what progress you are making if you don't know where you started.
Go ahead, muster some courage and step on that scale.
Take out a notebook and write down your start weight.
From there, you can chart your progress as you go along.
Simply weighing yourself and writing down the weight changes can be a big motivator to keep you going.
You may also want to take out a tape measure and measure around your waist, your hips, your upper arms and your thighs.
You'll be amazed at how quickly you will start losing inches once you incorporate healthy eating and a little bit of exercise into your daily life.
Lastly, you may want to consider keeping a food journal for a few days before you start making changes.
Writing down everything you eat and drink for a week will give you a pretty clear picture about what you need to change.
You may find out that you tend to eat a lot more throughout the day if you skip breakfast, or that your snacking gets out of control at night when you flop down in front of the TV with a bag of cookies or popcorn.
Once you see where your weaknesses are when it comes to food, you can take steps to change your habits.
Planning Healthy Dinners Does this sound like you? You do great all day with your new healthy eating habits.
Then you get home, tired from a long day at work and just grab a bag of chips or order a pizza, or over eat.
You finally get to breathe out and the first thing that comes to your mind is food, and lots of it.
The idea of running to the store to grab some fish or chicken and then cooking a healthy meal just sounds like too much work.
How can you get around that - and make it easy to prepare a healthy dinner at the end of the day? Plan your dinners ahead of time.
If you have everything you need to cook in your fridge and pantry, and a recipe handy, fixing a healthy dinner will take less time than picking up a pizza and it will be much healthier (and cheaper) as well.
Take a little time each week to plan your dinners for the following week.
Keep the recipes you need handy and make your grocery list.
You can get most of the groceries at once and will have everything ready to cook when you get home.
If you want this to be even easier, you can subscribe to a menu planning service like the Menu Planning Central and get all your recipes along with a grocery list emailed to you each week.
