| Which Do You Choose?! |
I seriously love learning all about nutrition and fitness, it has quickly become my new addiction! I wanted to talk to y'all a little bit today about some EASY habits that you can start NOW to start helping you along your own fitness journeys!!
1. WATER!
This one has always and honestly probably always will be my hardest task of every single day! Drink your water people!! The rule of thumb is to take your weight, divide it in half, and drink that many ounces. So for me, my weight is 115, SO 115/2=57.5. I should aim to drink about 58 oz of water every day. Why? Because its excellent at flushing out your system and it makes your skin pretty :) (Also I promise the urge to relieve your bladder every 2 seconds will regulate itself!)
2. SLEEP
Sleep is AMAZING!! So to hear that you should actually sleep about 8 hours a night. The more you sleep the more energy you have to burn extra calories. Psht, you ain't gotta tell me twice. Can you let my kid know that too??
3. EAT BREAKFAST
Think about it this way, all night long when you are sleeping you body is basically in hunger strike mode. You are burning off a TON of calories from the day before so when you wake up you need to refuel yourself at least within an hour of waking up with something nutritious (unfortunately those fruit loops don't count). If you don't eat breakfast you can seriously KILL your metabolism and you will start storing fat because your body doesn't know when it will get its next meal and try to hold on to everything you eat the rest of the day. If you don't have time for breakfast HELLLLLO Shakeology! Chocolate for breakfast? I'm down with that!
4. SNACKS
Eating snacks in between your meals is going to keep those pesky cravings at bay as well as add fuel to your metabolism fire to keep it burning all day long. Now also note, a snack does not mean a meal from Taco Bell, we are talking maybe an apple with some PB, or a handful of almonds, something that's not too heavy but will keep you satisfied!
