Shed it Now Blog
I hear this everyday…”I’m eating healthy most of the time”. Most of the time will get you about 50% of the results your looking for. Do I cheat every now and again on my healthy diet plan? YES! The bigger question is “Do I regularly cheat on my healthy diet plan”? NO!
For those of you out there that are at your desired weight, it’s ok to have a cheat every once in a while. Live a little! I exercise regularly, I’m at a healthy weight, and I feel good. If I crunch on a bag of Doritos or have a plate of pasta Bolognese I can get away with it. BUT, when your trying to lose those extra 10-15lbs it’s not ok to cheat! You only cheat yourself out of the results your working so hard for.
It’s hard to keep the diet clean and avoid the glass of wine at night while trying to shed the pounds! Nobody said it was easy. Reality is, eat the way you wanna look and you will! The bag of chips, candy bar, bowl of pasta, and bottle of wine don’t look lean to me! Avoid the alcohol, sugars, and heavy carbs to shed those pounds.

EXERCISE OF THE MONTH!
Throw yourself a challenge and add the Pull-up Burpee into your workout routine. Don’t let your workouts get stale or continue to use the same exercises month after month. Adding challenges even if they are modified is a good way to progress in your fitness level. If you can’t do a pull up then do your best and hang for a couple seconds before dropping. You can even modify the push up if needed.
