Get the body you desire to have!

3 years ago, I was super slim and fit, but I lost all the momentum of staying fit and exercising. As a punishment, nothing in my wardrobe fits me! So now I have a goal to lose 15 pounds before my 27th birthday and nobody said that losing weight is going to be easy! 

I have a list here to remind myself and other people viewing my blog on how to get the body you desire to have!

• Eat healthier (such as raw veggies and fruits)  and cut out all the junk food (chips, candy, ice cream)
• Water, water and more water! H20 keeps you hydrated and replenish your body altogether! Cut out on drinking soda beverages, fruit juices (as they have higher content of sugar than soda) 
• Eat smaller meals/snacks throughout the day which will help you not over eat. Starving yourself is harmful for your body and eating a huge meal instead of snacking shocks your system, does more harm than good!
• Make sure you add protein in your diet (whether it's nuts, meat, beans, etc.)
• Do not eat at least 2 hours prior to bedtime! Your metabolism is the slowest in the evening..when you eat late, the food stores in your body as fat.

Steps to Losing Weight !

• Don't diet! Change your lifestyle. Do things that you know you can incorporate into your lifestyle. Do small things consistently rather than one massive effort for a few weeks, which will be a lot less stressful for you in order to get used to the change.
• Set realistic goals, visualize what you want to accomplish and by when & stick with it!
• Understand that most of the battle is going to be fought between your ears.
• Adequate rest and sleep is crucial!
• You have to reduce your stress levels! Practice meditation or yoga to keep a clear mind for your work & personal life.
• Eat more often! Eat more meals a day, but eat smaller healthier portions.
• Don't do Fancy Diets (Fasting diets, crash diets, water diets, etc.) They just slow down your metabolism in order to help you burn fat & lose weight!
