110lbs!! Almost there! 13 months ago

Things that I find helps:

NO soda!!
Absolutely none!! Anything with high fructose corn syrup in it is terribly bad for you because your body considers accessing those fat reserves only in immediate emergency (i.e. if you are stranded on a desert island and have been literally starving for 2-3 days).

NO hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated anything!!
It’s usually found in baked goods. Another clever name for this is trans fat. Stay far away!

Drink lots of water!
Do I really need to say why it’s good for you?

Only eat when you really feel hungry
If you must snack, nom on fruits.

1 hour or exercise a day really helps.
Jogging, pilates, yoga, kickboxing or whatever.
I have a bedtime ritual where I do 1+ hour of yoga, a shower then sleep. So far I’ve been doing it everyday for the past week and it’s been helping a lot. My arms, thighs and stomach seem happier and more toned and I am gaining back my flexibility. Get into a routine and stick to it!



Final 10!! 14 months ago

Someone told me to eat very small meals every 3-4 hours to increase my metabolism, but I don’t get hungry that often.
Also, I’ve been told lots of cardio raises the metabolism as well!
