Are you ready for bikini season
Yes... I’ve got a couple of extra kilos still hangin around from Christmas with the family. Total sabotage of my favorite foods (S’more Brownies, Spag and Balls, Italian sausage with my mom’s homemade sauce… fuggedaboutit!)
FYI – Diets are out of style.
Of course there are many, many diet books out there on the market. But doing a diet is so old school. These days we talk about “living a healthy lifestyle” and making changes that stick for the long term. No more yo yo dieting.
Healthy Lifestyle Tip: Change Your Lifestyle (No Diets!)
There are three things you can focus on NOW… to be ready for bikini season in SUMMER.
Sleep Like a Baby
- Find Fitness that You LOVE
- Eat at least 5 Fruits and Veg a Day
Surprised? Yep…here’s why…
1) Sleep Like a Baby
- If you are tired, you automatically look for something to eat, because food is a typical way to get more energy. A sugary snack is often the choice. And if you are really tired, you may snack all day long. Not good for the waistline.
- If you are tired and grumpy, it’s very difficult to make a healthy snack choice, because all you want is something to comfort your grumpy moody self.
2) Find Fitness that You LOVE
Look… if you don’t like going, you’re not going to go.
- If gyms are not your thing… then do a fitness “taster.” For one month try at least 4 different movement activities. Most studios offer a free trial. Try without commitment.
Good questions to ask:
- Do I like the people there?
- Is it easy to travel there from work or home?
- Did I enjoy the activity? Did time pass quickly?
- Are the hours suitable to when I can go?

3) Eat at least 5 Fruits and Veg a Day
