Hey everyone!
Through all of my experiences and conversations with others en route to the land of the thin, I have found that feeling overwhelmed about diet, fitness and all of the other factors that are encompassed in this realm is inevitable. There seems to come a point where many people are overloaded with information and attempt to alter and transform their fitness routine and diet all at once.
However, this often lands us in diet sabotage, as the measuring portions, counting calories and maintaining your ideal heart rate become simply exhaustive. So, I thought I would introduce what a friend of mine coined as 'one change a day.' It's not a novel or inventive philosophy by any means, but it is something that is so easy to follow, especially when you fall off the bandwagon and are facing extreme difficulty getting back on.
Furthermore, rather than trying to "start over" and entirely eradicate your past eating habits or exercise routines, try employing this 'one change a day' concept. Every day enforce one big change into your diet/fitness, whether it be introducing more fruits or vegetables or eliminating some refined sugars. It's like high school, when you learned a new vocabulary word every day by continually rehearsing the word and its meaning, rather than attempting to learn ten words at once and mixing them up.
So, without sounding like a huge cliche or a nerd as I am so often called, I would like to put forth the first change you can make today...
Day 1- Replace any carbonated or sugary drinks with water. This change alone will benefit your skin, energy and definitely your weight loss in the long run.
If I'm coined as a huge, unoriginal dork and no one picks up on this thread, I'm definitely deleting it but I thought it would be a good 'pick me up' for those of us who might be struggling! Take care, Bec

I replaced soda/diet soda/juices/etc. with just plain water, honestly it wasn't that hard after the first few days... Now when I'm thirsty, I CRAVE cold water... hehe
