I woke up today with the sun just shining in my face and even though I'm not a morning person, I woke up with a smile. It was that moment that I realized Spring is around the corner... And I couldn't be more excited!
Nothing feels better than feeling good in your bikini, short shorts, sundresses, and all the cute little summer clothes, but the hardest part is getting there!
The math is pretty simple. We all know what it takes to lose weight, but I am going to share some of my favorite tips:
-Don't eat any salt for 72 hours prior to being in a bikini, you will shed at least a pound or two of water weight without even changing your diet.
-Stay away from soda! Even diet sodas contain a lot of sodium and they bloat you and make you look larger than you really are!
-Drink a lot of water; it flushes all the toxins out of your body and keeps you 'regular.'
-I replace homemade iced brewed tea (with no sugar, add fresh squeezed lemon) to quench my thirst and it usually suppresses my cravings as well!
-Work out 3-4 days a week and do 45 minutes of cardio and 30 minutes of weight training. Make sure you push yourself. You made it to the gym, now it's just up to you if you're going to make something of it!
-I love juicing! I bought a juicer and I juice every day as a snack or as part of my breakfast. I will have a small bowl of oatmeal and juice a mixture of kale, celery, cucumber, an apple, an orange, and carrots. It tastes yummy and it's filled with fiber and nutrients!
Those are just some of my favorite weight loss, body loving tips! You hear the saying: "You are what you eat..." So eat well and be good to your body... it will make you feel great and your body will be great to you back! And I've learned from experience that the first two weeks are a struggle of getting on track, but once you're in the routine- it just comes natural! And it naturally feels great!
