The Best Habits to Help Lose Weight

As most of you know, I am a big believer in creating new habits into your day to develop a healthy lifestyle.

Add a BAS (big ass salad) most days of the week in the spring and summer.

Frontload your day with water. Yes, yes, yes, coffee is a food group but your body(especially your organs ) needs water.

Add movement into your life and keep moving forever.

Recently, I was getting my teeth cleaned and my hygenist asked if I was using my Sonicare toothbrush. I told her not as much as I should because by the end of the night I am wayyyyy too tired to spend two minutes brushing. Sad but true.

Now, you may be thinking...PPPAAAAMMMMMM you should be taking better care of your beautiful new teeth!!! Agreed! I felt like an idiot hearing my own excuse.

Then the ding, ding, ding went off. This is just like the hundreds of excuses I've heard from people over the years about why they couldn't change their eating/workout habits.

Because I really value my teeth (spending months with no front teeth will make you do that), I knew I needed to create a new habit. Now, I brush around 7:30-8 pm when I am wide awake! This means I am using the Sonicare every single night! I feel pretty proud of myself because my dental health is super important to me!

 If you are struggling with any aspect of your health, tackle one habit at a time. Because when you overcome your own excuses and objections and follow-through, you will feel great!
