Spring is here. The bluebonnets are blooming along Texas highways and people are stopping to take pictures.  Start going outside more enjoy the weather and the beautiful scenery. Studies show that being outdoors more makes you happy, a good source of Vitamin D for our overall health and other benefits.  Make sure to drink a lot of water and get sunscreen as the sun gets stronger. are-you-nature-deprived

Continue to take control of your fitness by eating healthy and exercising.

Here are some eating healthy tips:
  • Budget: Reduce the times you eat out. Figure out how much you spend in a month eating out. Reduce that cost and use that money to buy fresh foods like fruits and vegetables from your local Farmers Market. 
  • Drink more water.
  •  Join a support group to help you count your calorie intake or website like weight watchers or sparkpeople. 
  • Keep a food journal or get an app for your phone (sparkpeople, loseit).
  •  Drink green tea
  • Visit a nutritionist or dietician to develop an eating plan.
  • Buy healthy cookbooks.
  • Are you watching your food portions? Buy a portion plate.

Remember, when it comes to fitness. I want to see results…not excuses…it’s for your health!
