I often find myself challenged to drink more water, especially if I have fallen out of the habit.
Here are a few tips that I've found helpful.
Purchase a few glass water bottles that you can keep in the fridge and sterilize once in awhile, or replace them every so often. Fill them at night so [...]
During my time without coffee I was relatively calm, as soon as I introduced it back, I was a raving lunatic over things that prior wouldn't have bothered me. It was a big eye opener.
This has been an interesting week. I'm getting back on track in redoubling my efforts, as I had fallen into a comfortable state which in one way is a great thing and what we are aiming for - creating new, healthy habits that don't take much effort to implement, because they have become second nature.
Over the next few weeks, I will spotlight some of the main aspects of being successful at creating a healthy lifestyle and habits that will support you in weight loss and good health for the long haul.
This week our podcast is about setting yourself up for weight loss success through being clear about the reasons why you are doing it, strengthening your commitment to yourself, examining your priorities and the importance of a support system.
This gives a few advantages. First being that you work up and can tweak the exercises either through intensity or repetition to your own fitness level as you start out. And basically the same advantages apply as you advance - the exercises grow increasingly more challenging, and as you progress, you can add weight to get increase benefit and avoid plateaus.
The past few years, I was viewing getting older as anything but golden. And then the obvious became - obvious! I wasn't feeling and looking frumpy because I had magically hit "that age" - it was because I wasn't doing what I needed to do to be healthy. That applies at any age.
These are 3 key areas in developing the kind of midset that you will need to take the weight off and to continue with your healthy lifestyle.

I just realized that the end of this week will mark 1/2 way into the bikini ready transformation challenge. What's the verdict? I won't look 20 again and no program except surgery is going to make me Bo Derek (here I am dating myself again), but I think that if I want to, at the end of the challenge I'd be able to wear a bikini without being chased off the beach.
I'm still plugging away at the challenge and am finding that it is indeed turning into a lifestyle.
I don't want to miss my exercises anymore.
I don't want to mindlessly pig at the cupboard anymore.
I want to eat healthy and drink more water.
