We just returned from our Hawaii vacation. We were on the island for six days and had so much fun. Whenever we go on vacation, I love enjoying food. I don’t restrict myself from anything and indulge. 🙂 I took this picture below when we got back for progress comparison. I was fluctuating between 116-119 lbs before vacation. I don’t worry about the scale but I do like to weigh in every so often.
Portions
Usually, when I’m home, I overall eat healthily. I don’t restrict myself, and I watch my portions. The number one thing I do to help me stay on track is never to feel so hungry I grab anything. I eat on a schedule! Usually, by 8 in the morning, I’ve had a light breakfast, by noon a light lunch, and dinner by five. If I eat too long past these times, I don’t make the best food decisions.
Eat before I’m too hungry
The hungrier I am, the poorer my self-control gets. I don’t know how some people have such strong self-control! I’ve kept my postpartum weight loss with these easy-to-follow steps for the average person. I say average because anyone can follow these without being strongly fitness inclined.
Drink my daily water
Drinking water helps me prevent eating when I’m thirsty. I’ve been carrying my giant water jug for months now, and I have seen a significant decrease in mindless snacking. It also helps my skin! While in Hawaii, I couldn’t keep up with my usual water intake. Because well, bathroom stops with a group isn’t that simple. Plus activities and whatnot! Drinking water also helps me eat smaller portions. I tracked my calories for a few weeks to learn how to portion my food. I learned how big my portions used to be! You’d be surprised how much a serving is lol. I no longer track calories. I try to eat moderately by following these steps.
Get active
I aim to be active at least three times per week. Things are slowly coming back to normal back home. We are still a little jet-lagged. It was only a 3-hour difference, but it still affected us. I’m catching up on laundry and sleep. I’m taking this week to catch up and only focusing on steps. I’m going back to my weekly online weight training classes. I’ve cut down on cardio and implemented 3-5 strength workouts with light weights. Weight training is more effective for fat loss. Cardio is excellent to warm-up and for heart health. I love cardio to relieve stress. I have a stationary fitness bike in the office.

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
The other day, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is fundamental and all. Nevertheless think about if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”!
