    It's a lifestyle & everyday counts!
    We are all human & can't be perfect 100% of the time but the better choices you make the healthier you will be!

    When I want to eat bad I remind myself that "Although it may not hurt me it won't help me!"
    When I want to quit I remind myself "If you're tired of starting over, stop giving up!"
    When I feel lazy I remind myself that "You're one workout away from a good mood!"

    One funny saying that I love is "you're not a dog, don't reward yourself with food."

    What you eat in private, you wear in public.

    Your body keeps an accurate diary, regardless of what you write down.

    Something I just learned today and will apply to my life:

    For us girls/ladies...when it's "that" time--DON"T weigh yourself at all, just wait until it's over. I'm going to do that starting NOW!

    Some others are:

    Don't stop when you're tired...stop when you're finished.

    You can't outrun your fork AND you can't out exercise a poor diet.

    Sweat is fat crying.

    Being Fat and flabby is not only unattractive, it's unhealthy--think about this and then do something about it EVERYDAY until it's gone and you're slim and trim!

    "Don't tell anyone else what you are doing."

    --Meaning, this is a personal journey. Others comments/opinions don't do it for you. This is your health. Embrace it. Own it. Do it. It's yours.

    Log your food. I'm a glutton when I don't write it down!

    I must admit I hate logging my food but I believe it is the only way i CAN DO IT!

    Set small attainable goals for yourself to start out with. When you reach these, set new small goals to keep from becoming discouraged. Never think 5 lbs doesn't make a difference. Try carrying a 5 pound bag of sugar around with you the next time you do not feel like this is much.

    Mine was from "hey elliot" a youtube channel if you've heard of him. anyway someone asked him to give a workout regiment. His response was that we get so tangled in what is the newest and greatest and want all the little details about doing it perfectly right.

    He said that the most important part is doing. It doesn't matter what, just get up and do. You gain experience and then can make adjustments as you go, but what is most important is doing something.

    My top six:

    1. Eat a gram of protein per pound of body weight

    2. Eat smaller meals throughout the day.

    3. It's a lifestyle change.

    4. fruit & veg

    5. eat enough to sustain your workouts

    6. lift weights!

    7. eat "clean"
