| You decide those by yourselves :D |
When it comes to weight loss, the buzzwords you might be
hearing lately are: lifestyle and change...as in, you need to make one to be
successful at losing weight. It may seem like losing weight is a simple goal--do
some exercise, go on a diet and voila! But, if it were that simple, I'd be out
of a job and you'd be too busy working out to read this.
While magazines and infomercials make it seem effortless,
losing weight takes hard work and that often means changing different aspects
of your life like, how you spend your time, how you schedule your day, and
how/what you eat. If the way you live doesn't allow for these changes, how far
will you get? What's Your Lifestyle Like?
The reason lifestyle is so important is because how you live
determines your choices and these choices decide how healthy you are and
whether you're on the road to weight loss. So what is a healthy lifestyle? The
typical components include not smoking, eating healthy foods, exercising and keeping
the body at a healthy weight. Where do you fall on the healthy lifestyle
continuum? First, figure out how much time you spend doing the following:
Sitting at a desk, sitting in front of a TV, sitting in front of a computer,
eating out at restaurants, eating fast food or junk foods, staying up late/not
getting enough sleep. Get used to do those things last year?
Well. Now, how much time do you spend:
Being active in general, let’s say you are taking the
stairs, walking instead of driving, gardening, cleaning, doing exercise,
preparing your own meals and snacks and eating fruits, veggies and whole
grains, reading food labels, having enough sleeping and dealing with stress in
a healthy way.
If you spend more time doing the things in the first list
than the second, it's time to reevaluate your priorities and decide what you
really want for yourself. Living healthy means spending time and energy on your
body--moving it around and paying attention to what you put into it. Staying in
an unhealthy lifestyle means you can avoid expending energy, time and effort.
The rewards for making these changes are endless, but
it's beginning that's so difficult. What does it take to change your lifestyle
and how do you know if you're ready? Let yourself to have your very own
commitment to change your lifestyle better for this year!

Better late than never kang hehe.. Wowww, I hope I will be as fluently as Kak Diar in english :D
ReplyDeleteThe key of diet is actually only one: discipline, and it's thing that so easy to say but hard to practice, sometimes..
Alhamdulillah I lost 3kg, that's why I dare myself to publish this post hehehe..
Some expert of nutritious said that the problem on a diet is not how much the food we ate every day but how much the calorie that have been burnt. Hmmm.
ReplyDeleteYes, that's one of the important factors, too.. That's why we need to be active in general, walking instead of driving, gardening, cleaning, doing exercise, all the activities for burning the calories :D
ReplyDelete*sounds so expert writing this :p
Hey, two people here are mentioning my name and it makes me blushed and flattered :)
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of losing weight, taking care of my daughter (and chasing her crawling everywhere) is my exercise. I want to gain some weight, but I just don't know how.
