1. Drink 20 sips of water as soon as you wake up in the morning. (Over the course of the day, aim to drink half your body weight in ounces of water.)(text taken directly from: http://www.today.com/health/get-shape-year-4-simple-changes-hit-your-new-years-1D80402030)
2. Walk 10,000 steps a day. Purchase an inexpensive pedometer at your local drugstore and get walking.
3. Cut out all carbs after 6pm. That's when we tend to do the most damage — big dinners, bread basket, pasta, etc.
4. Keep an extremely detailed food diary with one or more friends also looking to lose weight and email it to each other at the end of the day. You'll be surprised how quickly you change your habits and begin to make smarter food choices.
So, that's it. I'm two days in and have enlisted the help of my family. Hopefully this is the beginning of a new me. For now ;)
Who's with me?
