HOW TO LOSE WEIGHT IN 4 EASY STEPS

I’ve spent the past year losing 80 lbs and getting in shape. A lot of people have been asking me how I did it; specifics like what diet I was on, how many times a week I worked out, etc etc. So I thought I’d just answer everyone’s questions by giving you guys step by step instructions on how you can achieve everything I have… IN JUST 4 EASY STEPS! Ready? Here we go!!!

1.) NO BEER This is a big one, and one that you’ve probably heard before. Every time you drink a beer, it’s like eating seven slices of bread. That’s a lot of bread!

2.) PORTION CONTROL This is especially true when you go out to eat at restaurants. A good trick to do is when your meal comes, cut it in half and right away ask for a takeout container, so that you can save the rest for later - and even better, if you start your meal out right by ordering lean meats and veggies, you’ll slim down in no time!

3.) HAVE YOUR HEART BROKEN And not just broken; shattered. Into itsy bitsy tiny little pieces, by a girl who never loved you and never will. Join the gym at your work. Start going to the gym regularly, and even though you don’t know that much about exercise and you’re way too weak to do pretty much anything but lift 5 lb weights and use the elliptical machines with the old people, do it until your sweat makes a puddle on the floor. Then go home and go to bed early and the next day do it again. And then again. And then again.

Listen to stories of your ex-girlfriend fucking around with gross and terrible people, stories from your friends who think they are doing you a favor. Go to the gym and make more puddles of sweat. Buy books. Learn about different muscle groups and how they work together. Start eating healthy. Learn about nutrition. Plan out your week of meals. Try to forget her.

I’m preparing to do AP Spanish this year, having passed Spanish 4 last year with nothing under a 98% the whole year and 100% on my final, so I thought I’d write up a masterpost about studying Spanish!

Resources I Used:

Quizlet- without a doubt, Quizlet is amazing. It lets you make online flashcards (and the app works offline), and it also allows you to play games with them. It’s really useful and I used it for a tonne of vocab.

Duolingo- if you’re trying to learn Spanish alone, or complement basic Spanish in class, Duolingo’s very helpful as a language learning tool.

SpanishDict- this word of the day is super helpful for building vocab! Keeping a vocab journal and recording the word of the day is useful for simple practice.

WordReference- without a doubt, it’s the best Spanish-English dictionary, although it does many other languages as well. It also has verb conjugation charts and forums if you need them!

Colby College- this website offers some great Spanish practice videos & passages to use.

Conjuguemos- here, you can practice conjugating Spanish verbs, and sort them by regular/irregular, and mix tenses! It’s great for just drilling your mastery of different verbs.

StudySpanish- you can find almost anything Spanish related on here, including conjugation drills, and note summaries on every area of Spanish grammar. It’s really useful for reviewing something you didn’t get in class!

Other Study Tips:

To improve your listening skills, try using podcasts. Here’s a link to a site which recommends 5 really helpful podcasts to help your Spanish!

If your class has a lot of typing assignments, don’t waste time copypasting the accents. Here’s a website which will help you work out how to use keyboard shortcuts or other programs on your operating system.

Practice speaking! Even if you can do everything else Spanish-related, speaking’s often the most difficult part. Try and practice with a native speaker if you can, or someone more experienced!

Learn about the culture, but not just Spanish culture. Much of South America also speaks Spanish, and it’s just as important to learn about Peru or Chile.

Enjoy Spanish! It really is a lovely language, and just enjoying learning about the rich culture and fascinating language will help your study time fly past.
