I AM GUILTY… Join me in getting back in shape!
I hope summer was fun for all of you, but unfortunately, now it’s over.
Time to get back to school, back to work, back to a healthy routine!
It’s a perfect time to start your new healthy lifestyle!
I just came back from Israel, and had an amazing time there, but oh, boy, do I feel guilty!
My sister has even threatened to post pictures of what she found in my fridge on my FB page!
What can I do? I loved that pita with za’atar (*gasp* not even whole wheat!) soaked in olive oil. I love their ice cream! Also…Burekas?!!
Not everything was that bad though: the mediterranean diet includes a lot of veggies and fish. At the same time even with all my swimming and running around I did gain a couple of extra pounds.
Well, time to take the journey of getting back in shape!
There are couple of things I need to do to attack these unwanted pounds.
And they are:
Getting back to better eating patterns
I have decided to follow 2 specific habits that are great for weight management, and to give up just one thing I really like:
Habit #1 Get to bed earlier
This is my biggest problem. Since my kids were babies I cannot understate how enjoyable free personal time is once they are in bed! It has been a long while now, yet the habit to prolong this enjoyable time is hard to beat. Actually, the last couple of days it was not much of an issue, as I am still fighting jet lag. Maybe it will help me break the habit of staying up late.
Early to bed is really a great habit;
- it supports healthy nervous and immune systems,
- you get more energy after good night’s sleep and will look rested,
- you lose weight while you sleep and,
- you are away from the fridge, with all its temptations
Habit #2 No Late Eating
Getting to bed earlier will help me with that. I have decided no dinner after 7 pm. If I missed it – too bad, I will have some yogurt or hummus with veggies instead.
Give up the ice cream!
I was not too crazy about ice cream until I tried this one from Lithuania (Dadu Vanilla Ice Cream in Wafer Cup)… Brings back Russian “plombir” memories! Well, healthiness must override my ice cream cravings!
