Motivational Monday

With summer just around the corner, you may be wondering what you can do to start getting your body ready for that Roxstar beach bikini.

Well ladies, I think it’s time to make a few lifestyle changes, to a well deserved & FABULOUS new you! In doing so, you do not only get that GORGEOUS beach body that you have always been dreaming about but you will also get to enjoy the benefits of being healthier.

Let’s get right to it…

For starters, NUTRITION is ESSENTIAL for good health, so here are 4 very important steps to take note of:

 

©     You need to ensure that you start your day with a healthy breakfast; it is the most important meal of the day.

©       Eat smaller, more frequent meals throughout the day.

©       Control your meal portions. To ensure the correct portion sizes you can use a food scale.

©      Make sure you drink at least 3 liters of water throughout the day.

 

The first thing I always advise my clients on is to start a FOOD DIARY & to WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING.  

Food diaries help you become more aware of your eating & activity habits & problem areas. They give you a basis from which to plan changes & set goals, & allow you to look back & see what you have changed over time. This can be very motivating. A food & activity diary will also encourage you to make conscious choices about what you eat & do, writing it down gives you the chance to think twice before you act.

This is one of the most useful things you can do to help you gain control of your weight. Write down everything you eat & drink over the day. It’s hard to remember what you have eaten at the end of the day, so try to record things as you go. It can also help to make a note of any thoughts or feelings linked to eating. Writing down everything you eat & drink can be difficult. The more honest you are, the more it will help you.

It can take a little while to get used to & sometimes it may seem like a waste of time, but it’s worth the effort.

 

 

Next week I will be talking about the importance of a nutritious diet & the benefits thereof, as this is the KEY to creating & maintaining a body that your best critics would kill for.

 

Have a GORGEOUS week Ladies!
