My journey to eating more healthier and being more active has been, well , sort of successful. I tell you it takes alot of will power and hard work. I’ve tried several times and this time I made it my priority, especially coming from like me who loves to eat but hates working out. Now days I really dont mind working out and sweating. I guess I can say its not so bad. I’m happy! The eating healthy part, Im getting there. I eat alot of vegetables, like salads now, but I still crave for a piece of that chocolate cake every now and then. I try to work out atleast three to four times out of the week for about 30-45 minutes, normally doing cardio. They say cardio helps burn alot calories and fat.
You just have to be motivated, especially if you tried in the past to lose weight and struggled or regained the weight back. I know it definitely starts with changing your eating habits and increasing your levels of physical activities. Rewarding yourself for sticking to your weight loss program is an effective way to keep yourself motivated, but they should be realistic and meaningful. For example after sticking to the first week of your diet treat your self to a new CD or a pair of shoes, then bigger rewards like a ticket to a concert to see your favorite band or even a weekend trip or vacation with family or friends.
