Since school is starting up (or has already started) for most of us, I want to talk about staying healthy when we are constantly surrounded by not so healthy options. Whether you are trying to comb…
Alright, so upfront I know I’m going to get some flack for this post. Despite that, I am still going through the effort to say that I am not opposed to the idea of people going vegan. I’…
New post is up!
I know a lot of you aren’t going to like this. But my goal is to highlight health, and it is often a common misconception that vegan means healthy.
For a lot of us, crossing into the weights section of the gym can be pretty intimidating. I always wanted to start strength training, but I had no clue how/where to start. Here are some general gui…
Tips for anyone trying to change their lifestyle into a healthier one:
Don’t obsess with the scale, or with your measurements, if you are following a healthy lifestyle, making changes on what you eat, exercising a little more than before then focus on that.
EAT! No matter what Cosmo says, you can’t survive on 1500 calories a day, you are starving yourself on 1000 calories a day! even more if you are exercising. If you don’t know how much you should be eating remember to never eat below your BMR! (calculate it here!)
But also you don’t need to be counting calories/macros all the time! there is not only one way to be healthy, if that doesn’t work for you or makes you anxious then don’t! just be sure you are nourishing your body!
Weight fluctuates and measurements too, a more fun and challenging way of tracking progress is by your physical activity, if you run a mile faster, lift heavier than before, hold your jogging longer! (also it will give you quite a lot of satisfaction).
But also track progress in food! if you start seeing how you change your plate, incorporate more healthy meals, more veggies, less junk food etc.!
Not everything is salad and lean meat! Make a pinterest board, look for healthy recipe videos, try different things, if you don’t have much time then make a special time once a week to prepare something healthy, share it if you want!.
Lastly: breathe in, step back, relax. Change is not instant, if you want to change your lifestyle it’s gonna take time, you didn’t gained weigh in a week, you won’t lose it in a week, if you’ve never exercised before then you won’t become a pro athlete in one night, but that’s okay, everyone has a starting point.
