8 Ways Im Losing Weight!

I leave for camp in 10 weeks and therefore I am in full swing at getting my self in shape. I have been living a healthy lifestyle for the last two years so I thought I would share my tips on how I'm losing weight.

  1. Eating Healthy- I eat healthy 90% of the time however I don't deny myself a few treats here and there. My usual everyday meals are weetabix breakfast with a tiny bit of honey and raspberries,some fruit for a snack. salad for lunch and a naked bar and for dinner I will have meat and veggies. Eating healthy is 80% of what will help you to lose weight. 
  2. Doing regular exercise- I will go to the gym six days a week and four days a week will do a half an hour mini workout in the evening as well. I do 20-30 of cardio, 25 minutes of weights and 15 minutes of interval training. I will always have one rest day a week and that will change depending on what I am doing that week. I always make the time to do exercise.
  3. Drinking Water-I try to drink 6-8 glasses of water each day as not only does it help you to lose weight but it is also good for your skin and hair. It also makes me sleep better and overall feel better as I'm hydrated.
  4. Sleep-Sleep is so so important, you should be having 7-8 hours sleep every night and its so important to stick to this. Not having enough sleep can lead to weight gain, so therefore I always workout what time I need to get up the next day to see what time I need to go to sleep so that I get enough sleep.
  5. Drinking green tea-I love green tea and it has so many health benefits. It gets your metabolism going and also counts towards drinking plenty. I always start my day with a cup of green tea and end it with decaffeinated green tea (so that I don't be kept up by caffeine). Some of my favourites are salted caramel and mango and pineapple. 
  6. Taking Physique pictures-I have started taking physique pictures at the gym once a month so I can see my progress and it helps to motivate me. I do also weigh myself once a week to see how Im getting on with my weight loss and generally I lose about 1-2 pounds a week, but I don't get downhearted if I have a week where I haven't lost anything, it just motivates me to work harder the following week.
  7. Not eating after 9pm- Every "health blogger" recommends not eating after 9pm as you want all your food to digest before you go to bed, so I have made this a rule in my routine, however I will drink water or green tea after 9pm as I never want to let my body get dehydrated.
  8. Not Snacking-I am a snacker, I could pick at different bits of food all day in-between my main three meals, however I felt like this was hindering my weight loss and therefore I have cut this massively, I will have one snack in the morning at college and one if I am working, however the rest of the time I will not snack in-between meals, from doing this I have seen a huge difference in my weight loss.
