Summer is here, I’m guessing most of you are like me and aren’t really looking forward to getting in that bikini. Yikes! Let’s lost 10 pounds in 5 weeks! Can you really do it this time? You bet you can! Even if you don’t lost 10 pounds you will be leaner and fitter then you are now. You have to train yourself to substitute poor choices with ones that will really help you to drop pounds this time! Now is the time to take inventory of your behaviors. The first step, a reality check of the eating and exercise choices you make most of the time, may be the most challenging part of making a change. But it’s crucial for achieving lasting success.

If you are pumped up and ready here are a few steps that you will need to do to lost those 10 pounds.

Step 1. Get yourself a food journal. Take three days of this week to write down everything you eat. This will help you identify your specific eating patterns and spot areas where you can improve.

Step 2. Learn to improve your diet. Do your research, find the right eating plan for you. I’m not going to get specific because everyone is different on what they want to cut out of their diets and don’t look at it as a diet think of it as eating healthier!

Step 3. One of the simplest ways to squeeze fitness into your life is to walk more. Walk everywhere and anywhere! Whether it’s getting the mail, parking farther back in the parking lot, taking out the trash instead of you husband, etc etc etc. There’s endless possibilities

Welcome to the beginning of the rest of your healthy life!
