If you are new to camp, have you seen results? Are you feeling stronger, more energetic and smaller?
If you have been with SIU for awhile, what keeps you coming back?
Personally, as a goal-oriented person, results keep me coming back. My job throws a curveball into my schedule more often than it used to, so I'm not as consistent as I once was with camp. But the results are why I continually come back and start over.
How about what you are putting in your body? Has that changed?
All this hard work will pay off, but if you aren't eating better, your results may not be as great as you'd hoped. You are, in fact, what you eat.
Are you a fruit or vegetable? Or a fast food hamburger?
I'm not an advocate for overnight change. In most cases, it doesn't last in the long run; however, what does work for most people is to make one small change at a time. And before you know it, in one year, you will eat very differently than you did the year before.
Not sure where to start? Read over some of my past blogs or try one of these five suggestions below. Keep it simple, but keep at it!
- Include one fruit and/or vegetable at every. single. meal.
- Ditch liquid calories. Eat them instead.
- Reduce the amount of food you normally eat at one meal by 1/3. Eventually do this with each meal. If you normally eat 2100 calories per day, this could equate to cutting up to 400-500 calories a day!
- Limit desserts to once a week or, even better, once a month.
- Never. Ever. Give up. If you slip off the path, jump up and get back on it the next day.
Even the experts struggle.
