Girls are like
apples on trees. The best
ones are at the top of the tree.
The boys don’t want to reach for
the good ones because they are afraid
of falling and getting hurt. Instead, they
just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren’t as good, but easy. So the apples
at the top think something is wrong with
them, when in reality, they’re amazing.
They just have to wait for the right
boy to come along, the one
who’s brave enough
to climb
all the way
to the top
of the tree.
So last night I got to have a lovely dinner at Scoozi with my girl @missPurviP. She got me looking up this “Insanity” extreme workout program with Shaun T. My sister already put me onto P90X this Spring.
Here’s my theory: I think these types of things are a great way to put your foot on the right path. But the road is long, much longer than one cycle of DVDs. How long is the road exactly? Well, as long as your feet will take you. Lot’s of people need some motivation to workout and be healthy.
Here’s where they go wrong: By relying on things like fitness DVDs and trendy diets. When it comes to “diets,” they usually revolve around cutting something out from your diet. The problem? What’s the first thing you want to eat when your diets over? Whatever you were being deprived of! This is only a temporary “fix.”
My suggestions: Life is made up of the habits we create. The most important part about being healthy is establishing good eating and exercise habits.
1. You can eat what you love…. just keep it in moderation.
2. Eat often! Have (healthy) snacks throughout the day. This keeps your metabolism working, and you’ll be less likely to starve and overindulge.
3. Healthy can taste good! A common misconception is that healthy food has no flavor. This is untrue.
4. Stay active! Going to the gym x days a week does not have to be as miserable as it may seem. Try different workout classes- spinning, swimming, yoga(!!), kickboxing, zumba, boxing (!!). Variation is great in your workout regime, so try something new and mix it up.
5. Be reasonable! I’m not saying don’t set high goals for yourself, but if you can’t go two days without your carbs, then don’t! The best way to maintain something is to find what works for you.
4. Make it a habit!! The longer you keep up this lifestyle, the easier it will get and the more you will come to enjoy it. Don’t think of it as a diet for Spring Break. Think of it as the new you!
Look at your bad habits and try to flip them into good ones. As always, this goes beyond food and exercise. Life is one big habit, so make it a good one
hm this means rents due… oops. But this also means it’s the month of the Leo! I have a couple Leos in my life that I love very dearly. I don’t know what I’d do without my sister! Loyal, warm-hearted, encouraging, and courageous above all! I hope she knows how much I admire her and what a great example she has set for me (without even knowing it). She is the most loving mother (although I’ll admit, she’s learned from the best), and caring person.
Family dinners are my favorite, but it seems we might change things up and do brunch next week for the Birthday? hmmmm…. Anyways, my sister is moving to Braintree TODAY, and I could not be more excited. I am feeling pretty spoiled right about now and very lucky to have her in my life (as well as my whole family). I love you Lizzy.
Let’s celebrate the Leos in your life! Now back to my paper….
