Change is always hard to do. If you’ve always been sedentary, increasing your activity level is difficult. If your diet is full of products with added sugar, eating healthy may seem impossible. Getting fit can be a challenge for anyone. You make it easier by taking one step at a time. Even small changes make a difference. Create a plan of action and include your ultimate goal. Then start taking baby steps to reach that goal. Eventually, you’ll see big changes that make a difference in your fitness.
Find ways to increase your activity level. Take a sack lunch and go for a walk. Eat your lunch at a park or on a street bench. Relax and enjoy the scenery and walk back to work. You can judge how long it takes you and adjust your distance daily or do an extra lap around the block if you’re back at your work building ahead of time. Take the stairs instead of the elevator or park further from the store. You can increase your speed, add extra minutes to your walk, or carry weights. Once you’ve conquered walking, add other exercises.
It’s difficult to do, so you might start by cutting out snacks with added sugar. Instead of eating donuts as a mid-morning snack, eat fruit or nuts. Once you conquer snacking, start reading labels and eliminate food with added sugar. You’ll be surprised at how many foods do. Condiments like salad dressing might be surprising. White bread and crackers are two others. Read labels and try to eat more whole foods that have less processing.
Your body heals, and your brain reorganizes when you sleep. If you lack sleep, you won’t have the energy required to be more active. Your body will also produce more hunger hormones and fewer hormones that make you feel full. Creating a sleep schedule can help. Increasing your intake of water and staying hydrated also helps. You’ll feel better and have more energy when you’re fully hydrated. If you don’t like plain water, make infused water.
