Well, here you go... Ditch The Diet!
Live healthy, eat healthy, move your body, sleep, and be peaceful & positive. Healthy living is not a quick fix, or the next diet craze... It's a lifestyle! Loosing weight, lowering blood pressure, controlling blood sugar, getting your "summer body" requires healthy choices. But I know you're wondering, well Ashley, what do you do? I don't count calories, I eat smart! I try to fill my body with whole foods, minimizing processed foods. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables! I drink a lot of water, and I mean a lot. I exercise, almost every day. I eat breakfast every morning, even if its just fruit & greek yogurt. I try not to eat after 9pm (for two reasons: 1. I feel like my food never digests all the way; 2. it always leads to crazy dreams for me). I limit my alcohol consumption to special occasions. I don't smoke, nor do I take many medications over the counter or prescription. I am not on a diet. When I choose to treat myself, I do, burgers, desserts, whatever, ask my friend Tiffany, or my husband! I love sleep, and I try very hard to make sure I get at least 7-8+ hours a night! I meditate and try to maintain a positive attitude. I take care of my body, not because I want to look good in a swimsuit, but because I want to be able to live and enjoy my life with my children, and maybe play with my children's children. If this body is going to last me another 60-70 years, I must take care of it now.
So, friends for your "summer body"... Ditch the Diet! Start living! Embrace a healthy lifestyle, you will find that the "summer body" will be a healthier body, and will last all year long... Better yet, it will last a lifetime!
