28 Day Challenge - Day 15

Yesterday was a great day for me!
Great Food choices
Great Exercise choices
Felt Great all day!

Love those days and I was rewarded on my morning weigh in with a nice lighter number than yesterday!

Day 15

Today's message is all about Managing Busy Lives!

We all lead them -especially us woman who wear so many different hats through out the day - we forget what we are doing sometimes (opps that might just be me!)

So in order to fit everything into our busy lives try and incorporate a few of the following:

1. DELEGATE  - Accept that you can't do it all and seek help = there are people out there more than willing to help - just ask

2. SAY NO! - Learn to say NO - you need to do this now and then as we can't do it all and we must put ourselves first, make you a number one priority

3.DOCTOR VISITS - If you are feeling run down and blah - visit a doctor or a naturopath! Don't let a small niggle become a major problem!

4.WATER - Keep hydrated through out the day - you know its good for you on so many levels!

5.CAFFEINE AND ALCOHOL - Limit both of these and you will reap the benefits very quickly!

6.YOU TIME - Have some down time during the day to just chill and relax.  Every so often take the whole day for just you - maybe a jammy day? pampering day?

Here are some great tips from Annette regarding why we should exercise:

1. Having muscle tone is so important not only for a great shaped body but also for your metabolism. The more muscle tone you have the more the body will burn fat. Lift weights or walking up stairs (instead of catching the lift or escalators), exercise bikes or walk, step or treadmill machines are all fantastic.

2. Exercise encourages our metabolism to increase and if you have a sluggish metabolism exercise will give it a kick-start. If you want to lose weight then exercise is a great way to encourage fat burning. Once you have completed your work out your metabolism will continue to work for hours afterwards.
3. Warnings signs of poor health to watch out for are a shortness of breath, no stamina, high blood pressure and pains in the chest, so don't wait for a health scare before doing something about it.
