 Tips on How to Start Being a Healthier You!


So here is the tea. If you're like me you may find it hard to know where to start when it comes to being a healthier you. So many people seem to be able to jump right into the whole healthy lifestyle without having a plan. It's important when starting on your journey to a healthier life to understand what it all entails. One of the most important things to remember when starting a healthy lifestyle is that results will not be instant. Often times people start to make healthy choices and expect physical results right away but the fact is, it may take a while for physical results to show. Although this may seem disappointing at first it is important to remember that each healthy choice makes you one step closer to a happy and healthy lifestyle. There are many small changes you can make in your life to start you on your healthy lifestyle. Drinking more water, cutting out unnecessary fats and sugars, and exercising for even 30 minutes a day can help your physical and mental state and is a good starting point to a healthy lifestyle!

    I completely agree, it is difficult to jumpstart a healthy diet and lifestyle. It definitely takes time and patience, which is something I struggle with, especially as a busy college student! It is sometimes hard to find healthy food on campus to take on the go, which is why I want to reduce my meal plan as much as possible and start meal prepping! Even exercising regularly while eating a not-so-healthy diet will not give you results that you are looking for. It is a constant balance between the 2 and making sure you are getting enough sleep and regulating your mental health as well!

    I think that this is a very important point. Most people are looking for that instant fix for their vacation or summer body, but changing a lifestyle takes time when done right. While there are quick fixes, hey don't last. Simply by eating healthier, moving more, and sleeping better an individuals can have a significant impact on their lifestyle. I also think that you made a good point about the small changes having an impact; people look to make big changes but those big changes do not last and are not realistic.

Stepping Outside Your Fitness Comfort Zone

Everyone knows the type of people who seem to show no fear, and who can find the adventure aspect in their every day life. Whether it be finding a way to climb anything and everything or becoming a low key stunt person, some people are naturally able to step outside of their comfort zone and participate in the more non traditional fitness activities.  So how do you know if you are the type of person who can step outside the comfort zone and try new fitness activities? Trick question, EVERYONE has the ability to try new activities even if it scares them. I am not one for crazy adventurous activities however, once I got out of my head and my comfort zone I found myself enjoying activities such as high ropes courses, BOGA Fit, and Zumba. No one can force you to try new activities unless you yourself are willing to put yourself out there and just have fun with new activities.

Turkey Time!!!

Thanksgiving is right around the corner and if you are not ready to eat some delicious turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes and pumpkin pie, well then you are just lying to yourself.  During this wonderful holiday it is important to remember that just because there is endless amount of food in front of you, does not mean you need to eat it all. If you're like me, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and it can be hard to not over eat when at Thanksgiving dinner. Remember portion control when loading up your plate at the table. Try to have fruits and vegetables take up half of your plate and leave the other half for grains and proteins. It's all about will power this season! Stay strong!!!!
