Healthy Habits In the Making

Making new, healthy habits can be challenging for anyone, and getting enough motivation to keep our will active is not a guarantee. Taking baby steps towards goals is always the best way to begin, for there is less chance of falling on your face on the way. 
I am going to offer a few tips that may help on your journey to becoming healthy and fit. 
First of all, make a grocery shopping list that suits your ideals. Only buy the items on that list so that you don't have foods in the house that tempt you and yet make you feel guilty eating them. 
If you are craving dessert, try eating some protein if you'd like to cut the craving for sweets. This often is quite effective. If it's not or you'd rather not have extra protein in the moment, make sure you always have plenty of fruit or some yogurt around for your sweets substitute. I often make some tea sweetened with stevia. 
Get up 15 minutes earlier in the morning and do some push-ups, sit ups, crunches, squats, or run a mile. If you can't manage to get out of bed, hit those squats or push-ups while you're waiting for your coffee or your breakfast to cook. If you have a break at work, do the same thing. It will all add up, and best of all, be strengthening a new habit. 
Join the Pumpup community if you use a smartphone. It's the most positive, supportive group you can imagine, and you will attain your goals. 
Best of luck to you, and happy journeying. Xoxo ❤️
