Fit Tips

I asked Hannah what I should blog about and she told me to write a post about exercise and eating healthy. My girlfriends just saw me eat a bunch of no-bake cookies tonight at The Bachelor, so I feel like a hypocrite. But I promise-for the most part-I really try hard to watch what I eat. So, Hannah. Here are five tips. Just for you… even though you’re actually the pro at exercising and you should be writing a blog post for me.

1. Get in a daily routine and stick to it. Once your days get structure, it is easier to plan ahead what you will eat and make time for exercise.
2. Don’t keep junk food in the house. If it’s not around, you can’t eat it.
3. Find a workout that you enjoy. I used to put on Billy Blanks and complain the entire time because he annoyed me so much. I’ve decided to get rid of that DVD and find something I like better. Right now I’m in love with Jillian Michaels’ mini workouts on Hulu.
4. Switch up your workouts. A couple days a week do weights or pilates. The other days get some cardio in. You won’t get bored and your body needs both types of exercise.
5. Keep track of what you eat using an iPhone app (I use Daily Plate) or go the old fashion route and hand write it in a journal. I know I’ve said this before-but if you want to see the pounds drop, keep track of your calories. But something I learned this year is that you have to treat yo’self occasionally. Go out once in a while and just don’t worry about it. TREAT YO’SELF 2013!
