I wrote this on the Community Chat board of the GetSlim.co.uk site:
FOOD RELATED:
1. Drink more
water/herbal tea (can't drink tea or coffee) ☕
2. Cut down on
fatty/sugary foods ❌
3. Eat more foods high in
vitamins and minerals 🍉🍓🥦🥕
4. Avoid crisps in work
(even if they are supposedly low fat/calorie) ❌
5. Plan for times when I
know I might eat more or eat something I shouldn't, so that I can get back on
track instead of wallowing in self-pity. 🙈
6. Fill in my food diary
so I can keep track of what I'm eating and drinking - even if it's bad!! 📝
EXERCISE RELATED:
7. Exercise daily:
Aerobic 🤸
Toning. 🏋️
Try Pilates? 🧘
Walk to work, even in the
rain ☔
8. Log exercise in my
diary on here too 📝
MENTAL HEALTH:
9. Only have a short
amount of computer/phone/Switch time and STICK TO IT! 💻📱🎮
10. Don't try and conquer
this in one day - these things take time and energy! 🧗
11. Don't use negative
words, like "I've failed", "I'm hopeless" instead think
"I'm human and I will have times when things might go to pot because I'm
not perfect" but don't use this excuse to deliberately lose the plot! 👩
12. Be disciplined to
have a set bedtime (even when working, occasionally at 6am - plan for those
times!) 🛌
13. Wintertime is bad for
depression, realise that and plan accordingly!! 🌑☔⛈️
14. The key word is PLAN!
"Plan your work,
then work your plan"
Successful people didn't
get where they are by sitting on their bums all day, dreaming up plans and
never doing them! 📝📑📈📉
