Working on my Fitness

One of the things I try really hard to work on is staying healthy. Sometimes it seems hard (or impossible) to eat healthy and workout. So, I put together a list of things I have found that work for doing the best you can to be healthy.

Drink Water- Water I think is one of the most overlooked aspects of fitness. It is without all the processed junk in drinks like soda (I gave up drinking soda a year ago and I'll never look back!) and is also great for your skin (getting rid of breakouts!).

Get Sleep- This is essential for me: I love to sleep. I need my sleep and will be super cranky if I don't get enough sleep! Not only is it a positive thing for people around you (who wants to deal with cranky people?) but it definitely helps your health as well!

Play Sports- This is a sure way to make sure you work out as most teams have practices a few times a week. Most schools have lots of sports to try so I'm sure you will find something that is fun and enjoyable!

Eat Healthy (Most of the Time)- No I'm not saying you can never eat any sugar again (that would be awful hypocritical of me) but I usually try to eat healthier. For example, I switch chips in my lunch for the more natural rice chips (which are amazing, no joke!). Little things make a difference here!

Get Inspired- One of my favorite ways to get motivated to workout is to find some inspiration. Most of the time having some super cute workout outfits does the job! Sometimes, going on Pinterest and looking at some Pins on Pinterest works well!

Don't Stress too Much- It's easy to get caught up in this. Eating healthy does not mean you are on a "diet". I have learned to not listen as much to the scale than to what my body says. If your hungry, eat and don't worry that you'll gain weight. There are many more things in life more important than worrying about losing a pound or two (unlike what Regina George says!).
