How To Look Fabulous ... Being Consistent In Your Work Outs!

*********************************************************************


I've tried esoteric and philosophical ways to get you to eat better
and encourage you to do some form of consistent exercise. I give. In
this entry, I'm not going to talk about how "healthy it is for you"
or "how good it makes you feel." Forget it. You want to look your
best, be thin, and have nice skin and hair? Well then, I'm going to
list some things that cover the bases. I mean, why mask it in all
this heady dialogue? I should just write my blog entries and title
them "You wanna look hot?" You all are probably like, "Thank God,
just let's get down to it." I will oblige.

Eat Real Food: Avoid fast food and frozen stuff that you microwave.
Try your best to eat whole food that doesn't have a long shelf life.
Watch your portion sizes: Eat three small meals (don't skip on
breakfast) and a couple of healthy snacks. A bagel is not a snack.
Try something like a turkey and cheese roll up. Easy. You take the
piece of meat and slice of cheese and roll them up together. Voila.
Protein and fat. Functional and satisfying.

Drink Water: You want that skin to glow? Skip the flavored drinks
and stick to the H2O. Boring? Add a lemon or a splash of your
favorite juice. It's just a habit. Sweat 4 days a week minimum (I
don't mean by sunbathing either). I'm not going to tell you what
kind of exercise to do-I'm just saying sweat 30-45 minutes per day,
4 days a week if you want to have a flat tummy and toned butt. I
didn't even mention it giving you clarity or more energy. Just a
better butt and tummy.

Keep Stress to a Minimum: Back to the flat tummy. Wanna get those
washboard abs? Chill out. Stress contributes to the body holding on
to fat. It's not about the quality of your life or healthy living,
it's just about giving yourself the best chance possible for being
thin, so relax on the reactions.

Do Resistance Training: Twice a week, do some resistance training.
This could count as one of your 4 sweat days, but if you want to get
that hard hot body, then you have to do some resistance training.

Stretch or Do Yoga: Keep that body pliable. It helps avoid injury,
and if that's not motivation enough, the breathing is helpful in
staying young looking. Oxygen.

Find Some Happiness, Laugh and Smile Regularly: This is connected to
what I wrote about stress. Happiness keeps your thighs thin.

Go to the Restroom Regularly: This is a big deal. A lot of people
have issues with this. A good diet and water will help you keep
things moving. Going to the bathroom is especially good for
flattening the lower ab area. Not to mention (I'm committing the
ultimate sacrifice here) it will lower the number on the scale. It's
been said that we walk around with 8 to 10 pounds of crap
(literally) in our system. Move it on out.
To recap: If you want to look your hottest, then eat well, get
moving, stretch it out, calm down, drink enough water, touch your
toes, control your portions (but make sure you are getting enough
calories), unload the waste, and smile. I guarantee this formula
will have you glowing and thin in no time. I mean after all, what
other real reason is there to be healthy? I think that was pretty
good for my first time. I'm thinking of writing for one of those
beauty rags next.
