Healthy Eating and Lifestyle Tips

(1) Replace refined breads and pastas made from white flour w/ ones made from whole grains.

(2) If you are an omnivore buy meat that comes from grass-fed cattle and eggs from pasture-raised chicken.

(3) Eliminate corn oil and soda from your pantry - both are heavily processed and your body doesn't NEED them.

(4) Eat only until you are 80% full. Avoid overeating, by eating only until you are satisfied.

(5) Get enough sleep. Your body can't function properly if it is not well rested. If you don't get enough sleep, you will find that the pounds stay on your body.

(6) Do workouts that you enjoy. There is no point in doing work outs that you don't like, you won't stick with them. Remember, fitness is a journey which you must commit to long-term. COMMIT TO WORKOUTS YOU ENJOY!

(7) Wear workout clothes that make you feel confident.. Just because you are working out doesn't mean you have to look a mess!

(8) Eat raw fruits and vegetables with every meal. Start every meal with some sort of raw fruit and/or vegetable...your waistline will thank you.

(9) Smile and laugh more often. Smiles and laughter are powerful and you should attempt to laugh and smile as many times as possible throughout the day.

Smiling everyday keeps the doctor away!

(10) Start each day by looking in the mirror and saying a positive affirmation. Mine for this week is: I choose love, joy and freedom, open my heart and allow wonderful things to flow into my life.
