A Fitter Firmer Self esteem |
Today I am going to enlighten your minds with another
unique topic that will enhance your positive self-esteem.
It's about getting fitter and firmer and healthier, which
brings on more natural feelings of high self-esteem.
For the past few months I have been busy researching and
putting together tons of information and much needed facts
about the female body. This will be a new section to
womensselfesteem.com, I hope you enjoy it.
As for my article today I am going to tease your mind a bit
with what I have done in the fitness area. I am working hard
on simplifying the information that is out there.
Through-out the years of frequenting gyms, running, cycling
and racket sports, I have had the pleasure to meet and learn
from many trainers and fitness instructors. I have done my
best to share with you a few thoughts to peak your interest.
Remember ladies, this is one of the best self-esteem tips I
can bring to you.
I have simplified the "dieting thing" for you all. If you
want to "diet" and really lose weight and be a MUCH better
you, please read on. We hear about "DIETING" everywhere we
go. Every day there is a "New" diet out there that praises
itself for being better than any other ever tried. "HMMMMMM"
is all I have to say about that word "DIET". People that are
severely over weight and need medical help should refer to a
nutritionist. A nutritionist today is very well educated
about better eating habits. They will unfortunately use
terms like ounces and grams, which most people tune out very
quickly. Once the nutritionist has helped you reach a
certain goal, you will then be left to maintain your eating
habits on your own. If you are not a very self motivated
person, chances are you will not be able to continue alone.
This is where people like myself come in to play. We are
realists and we speak in real words. We try to make losing
weight an easy habit to put into your schedule. No fancy
foods or scales or charts. Just simplicity.
As I mentioned earlier in my blog, I have been involved in
health and fitness for over 20 years of my life and I have
read it all and I have heard it all. I have spoken to many,
many experts in the fitness area and trainers in many
fitness facilities. My thoughts after all my years of
experience is simple:
Take that word "DIET" and toss it into the trash and hit
delete forever.
Then you will think about your habits of eating as just
that, "HABITS".
Now you are going to change your eating habits, it is that
easy. I know what you are thinking, "Where do I start?"
Well, you start simply by cutting everything that you eat in
HALF and I do mean everything. Once you get use to this
habit, you will have shrank your stomach a bit and you will
feel less hungry than when you started this change in your
eating habits. Take a real good look at what you eat a lot
of. You are smart enough to know that a balanced meal is the
best meal. Not more of this and less of that. FAT is FAT.
SUGAR IS SUGAR. We know that they, in small doses, are
necessary for our body to function properly and healthy.
Also the time of the day in which to eat is important for
your better habits. If you are on a day time work schedule,
this is easiest for you. People that are on night shifts
tend to have a harder time in watching the clock and
choosing the best times to eat. Think about when you are
beginning your day, your mid day, your relaxed time of your
day. Your beginning time is when you can afford to eat a
bigger meal, then cut it in half. Mid day is a lesser meal,
then cut it in half. I would even say keep it light. Then we
have the last part of your day when all you want to do is
vegetate. OK that's cool then eat veggies and salads. The
rule of thumb here is simple also: do not eat at least for 4
hours before bedtime. POPCORN (Low fat of course), or
GOLDFISH (YUMMIE) is a definite must when you need to munch
on something. Watch out for the juices. They are a morning
drink at best, they are very high in sugar.
WATER< WATER< WATER.
There is not a person in the world that actually can drink
enough water. You should actually drink 1/2 your body weight
of water a day. "MHM, jeesh" is what I say also. Even I
cannot get that much water down, but I do my best. White
wine is your best cocktail, again in moderation of course.
Careful of the light beer, it is OK if you drink 1. That's
it though. Red Wines are a good thing for your body, but
they are higher in sugar, so again, 1 glass is all you
should have.
Pure carrot juice totally rules the world. Not only is it
very refreshing, but it is very, very healthy. Ladies it
works well with your body to sweeten your odors too. Soy
drinks are my favorite, but watch those. 1 glass per day
Ladies. Alcohol itself is low in calories, if you drink
shots. Add anything to it besides water and you are in a
danger zone. We all know 1 is never enough, so best to get
use to shots if you like alcohol.
A lot depends on how busy a person keeps in a day. "MOVE IT-
TO LOSE IT" is very good food for thought. If there are
stairs, then climb them. You know it is the best thing to do
to help your body burn unwanted food. Laziness is your
enemy, now that you have started better eating habits. Park
your car at the end of the parking lot and WALK> WALK> WALK.
If you like shopping, do it. It will help kick off a lot of
unwanted food also. When I am driving in my car, I am always
thinking of some sort of movement that I can be doing while
I drive, like squeezing your butt muscles together or doing
tummy tighteners or tightening your legs. Sex is also a good
and fun way to burn baby burn. (winks) EVERYTHING that you
move in your body takes energy, which it gets from your
stored, unwanted food. Even smiling takes an amazing amount
of muscle movement which takes energy to do. Cleaning, is
another very good thing to do, vacuuming burns a lot of
energy also.
I sense a sigh already, so listen up here: If you WANT to be
healthier and more fit, and I do not mean, look like a
Barbie doll, I mean fit and firmer, it is possible. But like
anything else that I am trying to help you with in this
website, you have to want it. And I mean want it all the
time. This is a direct way to a better self-esteem for you!
I know that if you have come into this website, that you
spend a lot of time trying to learn how to NOT think about
worries and negative issues. Soooo take that stuff out of
your mind and start to focus on every little move you can
make to burn your unwanted energy.
There is more to getting fit and healthy than just creating
better eating habits. You are also going to learn better
moving and thinking habits too. Through this fitness and
health section, I will be supplying you with a FAQ sheet. It
will help you to get answers to questions that you have
regarding getting fit and healthy. It will be written so
that you can, and will use the information to become a
better you.
I have met too many women that get quickly turned off of
getting fit because there is way too much information out
there conflicting with each other. Not to mention confusing
and full of hidden ways to convince people to buy this and
buy that so that they can become the ever so desired
,"Barbie Doll", only to fall and end up right back where
they started. What I am doing in my site is sharing my
results through my experiences and life long searches for a
doable way of making me a better, fitter and healthier
person.
We must become the change we want to see.
