4. Make A Separate Snack Station
Stocking your kitchen with healthy food and keeping temptation food on the shelves at the grocery store is ideal, but let's face it, most of us have husbands, kids, or roommates. Keep a separate section in the your refrigerator and cabinets that is just for you, and spend an hour or so each week making fruits, veggies, and other healthy snacks easier to eat and take on-the-go. You're less likely to eat the eggs you boiled if they aren't peeled, but if you peel them all ahead of time and place them in individual bags, you'll eat them! Sometimes it just comes down to convenience.
5. Reward Yourself
You can make it something as easy as treating yourself with a new purse with 5 lbs lost, a spa day with 10 lbs lost, or how about this idea: place a dollar in a jar for every time you exercise. It's a fun way to reward yourself and stay motivated to workout at the same time. Think of this as your reward money to splurge on whatever you'd like!
6. Switch To A Stand-Up Desk
Most of us spend a lot of time in front of our computer, whether it's just for a few hours a day at home, or perhaps a job that requires it. It's a lifestyle that most of us can't avoid, but if you can switch to a stand up desk or Varidesk (sits on top of your existing desk) you'll naturally burn more calories every day and improve your posture and mood. It's your lifestyle that really matters in your long term weight goals, and this is one way to be more active without changing your job or computer habits.
