How you doing? Me? Eh, let me be transparent... I have been better. But you know life does this thing I like to call a challenge. Sometimes they are big, sometimes they are small but you know what? We survive. We survive because we are stronger than anything that life throw our way. WE GOT THIS! Nothing in life is every easy especially the things that are TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!
You all asked me what I do to stay fit and healthy my answer to you is (DRUM ROLL PLEASE) I let myself be HAPPY!!! I gained 14 pounds this spring semester and I felt terrible, physically and mentally. I was very unhappy with myself and with my body. It's hard to be in school and working to have the time and energy to work out. Don't ya think?
1. Eat right
By this I don't mean only eat salad and forget about the tacos... no friend eat right as in have you breakfast, your lunch, your snack, and your dinner! You have to feed you body, of course staying away from tacos helps but you can also treat yourself! Eating a healthy diet can help boost your immune system and help you maintain a healthy weight! Feel free to treat your self once every week! Just don't go crazy :p
2. Exercise
DON'T STOP GET IT GET IT!!!!!!
I know it could be challenging to find the time but make the time even if that means waking up earlier or sleeping later. Trust me you will thank yourself later. It's hard especially going to school/working full time. But you got this! After all we make time for the things we want, no?
3. SLEEP
Sleep as much as you can for as long as you can! It is true what they say we all need our beauty sleep! Sleep deprivation can lead to reduced brain function, fatigue, headaches and weight loss or gain.
4. Avoid caffeine and sugary drinks
Other than the fact that they weigh you down, you can instantly notice the difference in your body with staying away from these sugary drinks in only a couple weeks! If you need an energy boost, try eating foods high-protein, high-fiber foods.
5. Drink lots of water!
In the morning before breakfast or for breakfast drink at least 32 ounces of water to get your body going! Even squeeze lemon juice in it to detox your body! Clean out that system. Your skin and body are going to feel 100x better if you drink at least 2 gallons of water a day!
6. REEELLLAXXXX
Stress eating, binge watching shows, all a combination of stress and unhappiness but it can lead you away from your goals. Remember every time why you are trying to improve yourself and don't stop till you reach the top and keep going from there.
7. Believe in yourself
Never doubt that you are strong and a beautiful human being!!! You don't have to be a size 0... you just have to love yourself and make sure you are doing all you can to feel better and be happy.
xo always, Jazz
