Do What Works Best for YOU

Once anyone finds out you're trying to lose weight, they want to tell you exactly what you should and shouldn't do. I too find myself doing this too but I've started realizing how annoying it really can get. There is a huge difference between telling versus suggesting. If someone asks for advice then you can suggest different things to them, but don't try to force them to do it. Every person is different in the way they want to exercise, diet and live their life. My suggestion is to form something around you because there are various ways to lose weight.

Technology is HUGE these days. There are many different workouts available through Pinterest, YouTube, or you can simply use google. I found one that I started to help me build up to the Run or Dye 5K that I'm registered for in December. The one that I found was where I don't even run in the first couple of weeks I just simply walk to build up to running. For me this is what works because I haven't been running or exercising consistently. There are also apps that can help keep track of weight, exercise and what you eat. Some of the free one's are: My Fitness Pal, Fooducate, MyLife! and weight watchers has one that's $18.99 a month. My favorite one is MyLife, I find it has more foods than My Fitness Pal, but that's just me. 

Many fads come and go and are really only temporary, what I'm doing is I'm making a lifestyle change and making better food choices. It's really not hard to do start off by implementing water into your diet if it's not because you can lose weight by simply taking 1 soft drink and substituting it with a glass of water. If you don't like plain water there are alternatives to spruce it up. You can add cucumbers/mint leaves (it sounds nasty but until you try it, its actually really good), you can add lemons, limes, or oranges to it (it gives a good flavor and these have been shown to be good fat metabolizers), or any other natural product you can think of.

Just do what works best for you, I'm only here to give suggestions. You can take them or leave them it's up to you because you are in control of what you do. It's not easy to lose weight but it isn't impossible either. Just changing a few things can make a world of a difference. 

Until tomorrow....
