- Make sure each snack and meal includes a balance of protein, carbohydrates, and fat.
- Keep away from the kids' food.
- Incorporate cardio intervals, such as step-ups and lateral jumps, into strength workouts.
- Get a stability ball in order to do additional core exercises at home.
- Visualize reacting in a healthy way to eating triggers and tempting situations.
- Make a "Weight List": everything I've put on hold until after weight loss, like clothes shopping and travel. Start doing it now instead.
