People tell me all the time that they want to start eating better and living a healthier lifestyle but they don't know where to start.
It can be a bit overwhelming if you focus on fad diets or one particular way of eating and exercising. That gets boring and sadly, 99% of the time that way of thinking and doing is going to result in failure.
It is fairly simple to change your lifestyle if you're determined and dedicated to changing. If you start out by focusing on these simple steps I am about to show you, you WILL succeed and you WILL see changes.
I know I have.
Step 1: Clean out your pantry and fridge!
Get rid of all of the processed junk and only keep items with 3 ingredients or less. Your stomach is not a waste basket. It is there to digest foods that keep your energy level up and to keep you striving. You need nutrients, not processed foods with ingredients that you can't even pronounce. Trust me, this is the number one step and your body will thank you.

Step 2: Keep a journal
It is important to log everything you eat, even if you slip up and eat something that isn't as healthy as it should be. This keeps you aware of what you eat everyday and shows where you need to make improvements. You can keep a notebook or download an app on your phone to keep track. I love My Fitness Pal.

Step 3: Set small goals for yourself each week
Whether its an exercising goal or an eating goal. Try to improve these goals each week. Remember to always push yourself.

Step 4: Deal with emotions in a healthy way
Some people tend to eat when they are feeling sad or angry. Instead, take your frustrations out by going for a run or doing something to get your heart rate up. It will make you feel much better. I guarantee it.

Step 5: Drink water
Don't drink your calories. Water is the best thing for your body. If you replace other drinks with water, you will see a major difference in your weight in no time.
Start with these steps and stick to them. Once you get into this routine, you can go however far you want to go with your fitness journey.
YOU can do it!
Ready. Set. Go.
