5 Easy Steps to Being Fit and Healthy

I was approached by my friend Danielle from Blissful and Domestic about doing a You Tube collaboration on getting fit and healthy. Thank God she said ‘getting healthy’ and not ‘staying fit’ because that shipped sailed a while ago for me. I feel that as women we are always last on the list and its been on my mind lately to really make myself a priority. We get so caught up with the kids, the hubby, the daily grind that we forget that to take care of others we must first take care of ourselves. So I wanted to share some quick tips on how to get fit and healthy. 
 

1) Make the time for yourself.

There are never enough hours in the day. But you have got to make the time for yourself. As a working mom of twins its quite hard to this, but enlisting help and prioritizing is key. Cooking is something that I do for my family so in order to the go to the gym 3 times a week. I follow a simple schedule and eat leftovers on the days I go to the gym. So I cook on Sunday, workout Monday, cook on Tuesday workout Wednesday after the girls soccer practice. 

2) Don’t set yourself up for failure.

When I get home at 6 pm  the last thing I want to do is go to the gym. The key for me is going straight to the gym after work, I pack a bag and change at work. I pick up the girls from school and we go straight to the gym. They get to play while I get my workout on. On the days the girls have soccer practice, my hubby takes them home while I hit up the gym. 

3) Water is key.

It is so hard to get all your water in but I have a few easy things you can do. I drink water before I even leave the bed in the morning. When I wake up I open up my bible and drink a full bottle of water. Something else I have been loving lately is to put a glass of water with frozen fruit in it on my bedside table at night. In the morning the fruit has defrosted and the water has awesome flavor. Another way I get my water in throughout the day is having a cute cup on my desk at work. I fill it up with water throughout the day. The key to keeping track of how many glasses i’m drinking is simple with rubber bands. I know that i need to drink 6 glasses at work so I have 6 rubber bands on the straw of my cup. When I finish a glass and fill up again, I move the rubber band over the cup that way I know how many cups I’ve drank. 

5) Make healthy choices.

Getting more fruits and veggies in my diet is hard for me. Smoothies make this a breeze. Even better I assemble smoothie freezer bags on the weekends so that in the morning I just have to pop it all in the blender and push blend. Also for a faster morning breakfast I love to make egg scrambles. I chop up onions, bell peppers and cilantro and put in individual baggies. In the morning I only have to empty the bags in the pan and add some liquid egg whites. I also like to bake egg muffins. I’ll be posting all these recipes soon. I also like to substitute spaghetti squash for pasta when I cook spaghetti, makes for a healthy alternative. Be sure to check my post on how to cook spaghetti squash. 

I hope you found these tips helpful. Check out the video below for even more tips!
