A Healthy Lifestyle

We all know that there are things we can to improve our overall health. From changing what we eat and even when we eat it, to the activities we do and the way we think.



I'm on a mission, a full on lifestyle change is in order for me and i thought it would be a good idea to put all my thoughts and ideas on here to motivate not only myself but others too! Doing it with someone always helps keep you on track, and if you do go off track then there is always someone there to pull you back up when you fall.

So I'll begin with the basics that i have found useful!

  • Small changes - It's important to make small changes to begin with, after all its a lifestyle change, not a diet.
  • Set goals - But don't be hard on yourself if you don't reach them in time! Its not the end of the world after all!
  • Don't deprive yourself - Life is for living! If you go out for a meal and you want desert afterwards, then go for it! Its not like you're eating chocolate cake every night of the week. Be smart about the choices you make.
  • Variety - Eating the same thing every day/week is going to get boring, and if you get bored your going to get off track because you will crave other things.
Remembering these basic steps has helped me to keep on track over the past couple of weeks. I went of track for one night of poker with friends where lots of beer and pizza was involved...but when i woke up the next day, after recovering from a well deserved hangover, i got back on it!

So if your are interested in reading more keep an eye out for more ''healthy lifestyle'' blogs that are going to include things like recipe's and exercise routines as well as hints and tips. And don't forget to leave comments!I'm no professional but i will do my best answer any questions you guys have.


Take care guys xx
