Losing weight is never easy and having a full-time job doesn’t make it any easier! Time management will play a big role in your success to losing weight, as you will have to schedule everything! If you don’t make notes or set reminders, it simply won’t happen
There’s lots of things that can get in the way; family, working over time, kids, pets, house work and that’s why time management is so important. Start making small changes to your routine, even if you don’t see a change in your weight within the first two or three weeks. You’ll become more conscious of what you eat and what’s on the shopping list. If you don’t buy it, you can’t eat it 🙂
Here’s a few tips you can use to get into that routine and lose weight effectively:
- Schedule Everything!! A planner should be the first thing on your shopping list. Start to plan out all of your meals, including daily snacks and time to work out
- Pack your lunch the night before (include a fruit or two for the day)
- Calorie count; the serious way of calorie counting – actually write it down because if it’s not in writing you are lying!
- Grocery shop with your meal plan in hand
- Find a time during the day that you could re-purpose for 30 minutes of exercise: get up 30 minutes early, go to the gym on your lunch, whatever works for you (try to do it before you start working, the later it gets the less motivated you are for a work out)
If for no other reason, do it for yourself. Never underestimate the value of your health. You’re worth more when you’re healthy…
