Keep an exercise and food journal
Write down everything you eat/drink, including that tablespoon of sugar you add to your morning coffee. Keeping track of the kinds of foods you eat along with the quantity will keep you focused on your goal. Writing down what you eat keeps you accountable and you will be less likely to sneak that cookie or a candy bar.
Exercise is important. Keep track of the kinds of exercises you perform and how long you perform them. Note:
• Resting heart rate
• Heart rate during warm up,
• Where did your heart rate peak?
• How long it took for your heart rate to slow down during your cool down
Stay Positive
Writing down everything can sometimes lead to guilty feelings about the kinds of foods you ate or the quantity. Don’t berate yourself. Heath is a lifestyle and should be a life long mission. There are always small changes you can make throughout your life that will help you achieve your goals. You are suppose to enjoy life and apart of enjoying life is enjoying food!
Find Inspiration
Inspiration is a powerful motivator. Find a story or a person that inspirers you to live a healthier lifestyle. Try and connect with the person who inspired you. Relationships add a deeper level of commitment and perseverance to help you achieve your goals.
