7. Make A “Workout Only” Playlist
Music is a huge part of why I love running so much. It's my time to escape and listen to some of my favorite songs. To help keep yourself motivated, make a playlist that is ONLY for your workouts. You will look forward to exercising more knowing that you get to listen to a fresh playlist.
8. Keep Mouthwash Handy
Some people swear by chewing gum to keep their sweet tooth at bay, but peppermint mouthwash is what does it for me! Keep a bottle handy at your desk at work, in the kitchen, or anywhere else where a snack attack is bound to happen. And, use it right away after a meal so you're less likely to crave something sweet. You could even change the label on it to say something like “Magic Appetite Suppressant”. Have some fun and imagine that it really is a secret potion that keeps you from eating. Sometimes it's all in your head.
9. Make Drinking Water Fun
We all know that drinking lots of water aids in weight loss, but it sure does get boring! Dice up and freeze a month's supply of organic fruit like raspberries, strawberries, oranges, lemons, limes, or any other fruit you'd like and add it to your water bottles. It flavors it AND keeps it cold. You could also freeze lemon juice in ice cube trays and pop them in there. It's the little things like this that make your workout and drinking water more exciting!
