before any work-out plan, SET GOALS!!
*get a piece of paper and set goals. It doesn't have to be specific weight loss numbers, but goals to work-out three times a week, or to wake up early every morning...etc. whatever your goal is, write it down.
*after a month or so of completing that goal, give yourself an incentive! something that will keep you motivated to keep working hard and reach your goal. once you've done that goal...CHECK IT OFF! and set a new goal. Put this in a place that you will see regularly!
One of my goals right now it to "drop-in" at the skate park. I'm pretty close. Wish me luck!
TIP: when you go grocery shopping and you buy chips or pretzels or whatever, right when you bring these items home, open them up and divide them into a bunch of ziplock bags. that way when you go to eat some chips you have a little zip lock and that tells your brain that you just ate a bag of chips. Instead of eating the entire chip bag! does this make sense? I promise it works! your stomach is much smaller than your eyes and your body usually doesn't need all that food you think it does!
Try this out, let me know what you think!
Best thing to do:
*don't go on a diet! eat what you enjoy but limit yourself!
*the thing about diets is that people don't allow their bodies to eat sweets or carbs for a couple months and then when they are done dieting and have lost a bunch of weight they start eating those foods again and gain more than they were before. this is NOT HEALTHY!
*eat everything in MODERATION! allow yourself to enjoy the foods you love, just cut everything in half.
"DON'T STARVE YOURSELF!" this is the worse thing you can do to your body. True, you may feel like you look better and losing weight, but your body NEEDS food to function! if you decided to never eat again then you are just destroying your insides and causing WAY more problems than you would ever think. JUST DON'T DO THAT! eat food! healthy food.
TIP: if you have problems running, i.e bad knees, shin splints, bad ankles. Then try running on the grass or somewhere with a softer surface.
If you were injured at one time in your life, and you are trying to rebuild your muscles, run on the sand. You are forced to use your stabilizer muscles and it may hurt a little, but you are strengthening them at the same time.
Tell me what works for you!
