One of the biggest things that has been helping me so far is the Iphone app called MyFitnessPal. I have been keeping track of my food, water intake and exercise. I have a friend from work that is also using MyFitnessPal on her computer and we linked our accounts so we can cheer each other on! Having a friend who is checking up on my progress honestly motivates me to keep track of my food and exercise every day. I really like keeping track of my water intake as well so I know if I have had enough water each day.
Another app I have been using recently is called MapMyRun. I love that it keeps track of my runs and I can see exactly how far I've gone and how fast I've been able to do so.
I've also been loving workout DVDs lately. I've done Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred a handful of times...
I also recently purchased the Beach Babes DVD by Tone It Up, which I haven't tried yet but I will be watching/doing and doing a review on once I try it!
I've also been eating a ton of salads...
...and if I really am having a hard time getting motivated to exercise, I set up a new episode of whatever show I feel like watching and get walking on the treadmill!
Meanwhile, my friend Roxy isn't too interested in exercise...she prefers to sleep! =)
Last week I did my own "water cleanse" and didn't drink anything except water all week. No coffee, tea, soda etc... I was very hydrated. On one day I drank 12 cups of water! I ended the water cleanse on Saturday night while at dinner with friends, but only had one daiquiri at dinner, and then on Sunday I had a glass of white wine. I don't think it's bad to drink things other than water, but in moderation for sure. Speaking as a former soda addict- I feel so much healthier now that I don't drink soda all the time. Getting rid of the caffeine and sugar I ingested daily has changed my life for the better!
What healthy choices have you been making lately?
