10 Ways I'm Trying To Be Healthier This Year!


Superbowl Afterthought: How cool would it have been if Lady Gaga came out during Half-Time to join Beyonce and they did a quick clip of "Telephone"? #couldawouldashoulda

Okay down to business...I would like to re-open the topic of my weight loss journey which has derailed into oblivion. I'm the heaviest I've been in my entire life. It's a mixture of a lot of things, but mostly I sit all day long.  I have to get up and fucking move! lol.

Starting in the next few weeks I will be hitting this obstacle head first with a positive outlook! 

Here are 10 Ways I'm trying to be healthier this year!

1. Discover what healthy foods I actually like!
Likes: Edamame, Quinoa, rosemary herb, Hummus, Dannon Light & Fit greek yogurt
Dislikes: Parsley, Chobani greek yogurts, almond milk

2. Be Prepared - Bring Snacks from Home.

3. Find an Exercise Class I like!
~ Loving Zumba and I'm excited to try Cardio Kick-Boxing

4. Take the Stairs!! 
~ I work on the 2nd Floor. There is no reason to take the elevator! ~

5. Get my Husband on board with the Changes!!

6. Don't flake out if I'm tired!
~ The zumba teacher told me to try drinking green tea for an extra burst of energy

7. Eat balanced meals and do not skip any meals

8. Eat dinner at a reasonable hour.
~ Definitely not eat dinner when my husband comes home at 9:30pm from band practice! 

9. Utilize my gym membership.

10. Drink Water

Tomorrow it's back to the gym I go!

  1. Number four is something I've always done (and something my friends always complain about), but it really does work. ^^
    Great ideas, all of these. <3

  4. Love these! I had so many workouts pinned on pinterest these last few years but I realized I've never and probably never will do any of them. I ended up doing the T25 workouts and I'm loving it. And yes, getting other people to eat healthier/workout with you makes everything easier :)

  5. Great ideas for a healthier lifestyle! Drinking more water is definitely on my list for the year. I don't have a gym membership, but being more active is also one of them, too! I find that I like a lot of healthy foods, but I have this reallllllly bad habit of eating out all the time, because I'm too.... lazy.... to cook. So I eat healthy, but spend far too much money on food, lol.

    Great list :)

  6. Freaking yes to all the above! How is it that we are so smart and know what to do and then consistently NOT do it. I'm in the same boat - highest weight ever. Sucks big time. I'd say upping your protein should make the list - women need so much more than we normally eat!

  8. My goal is to try to be more prepared too! I always want to make a bad choice when I get to hungry and don't have anything healthy already prepared or easy to grab! -Home of Malones
