you!
Don't worry about reaching your ideal weight by a fixed date. Rather,
let's focus on small, achievable steps to create healthier habits.
Maybe a little extra movement?
Perhaps some more fruits and veggies?
Or, how about more water?
Together, we can make these changes. Always keep in mind, the true key
to victory lies in setting realistic goals that suit your way of life.
Ready to get started?
The key to success is to set achievable goals and habits that fit your lifestyle; try these as a starting point:
1. Write it down: how much you want to lose, why you want to lose it and how you're going to feel when you have lost the weight. Write your resolution somewhere accessible and easy to see so you will be reminded of what you want to achieve.
2. Be realistic about changes: whatever else needs to change, your eating habits will be on the list. Take ten minutes to think about, and write down, what will be easy and what will be difficult for you. Is it cutting out snacks? Finding time for activity? Menu planning? Your success could rely on your honesty here.
3. Schedule activity: when you're busy with work, home and family, it's easy to forget time for your own well-being. Schedule days you are able to commit to exercise or go for a run, walk, cycle or swim and, this way, you will be more likely to creat then stick to a routine.
4. Plan meals and shopping lists: home cooking gives you 100% control over what goes in your body, and leads to healthier meal preparation. Stock up on fresh and frozen vegetables and fish, tins of beans and pulses, packs of wholewheat rice and pasta, then add lean meat or chicken as you need them.
5. Batch cook: cook once eat twice - this mantra was made for weight loss, the more you prep, the less likely you are to fall back on take aways or ready meals. Preparing meals that can be boxed up and kept in the fridge or freezer ensures you have quick healthy meals throughout the week.
Finally, remember everything depends on what you can realistically commit to. When our targets are broken down into smaller goals, they are more achievable.
And you'll find your resolve simpler to sustain with a daily diary, food search and hundreds of family friendly meals, right here!
