3 Healthy Changes to Make Today

This is a sponsored post as part of the Shaklee Corporation blogger program. I have received free products, online support and incentives for participating in the Shaklee Corporation blogger program. My opinions are my own. I am also a Shaklee Independent Distributor.

I’m am so excited to share this update with yall!  As you might know I’m a Shaklee 180 blogger and I have been on the program for almost 3 months now.  Each month I share a little update on my weight loss journey.  This month I am done a total for 15 pounds!  Wanna know how I do it?  Here are the top 3 healthy changes to make today I’ve made to help me drop the lbs.

1. Drink water.

great motivation to drink more water

Seriously, this is my number one tip to help shed the weight.  Start slow, drink one bottle of water your first day.  Try for two the next day.  Keep adding more water until you are drinking it all day.  It helps suppresses your appetite, keep you energized, detoxes the body and so much more.  Im trying to drink a gallon a day and to keep me motivated I made my water jug sassy.  [I got this idea from my sweet friend Shelly!]

2. Eat Clean [er]

You need the right food to fuel your body and it isn’t a cheeseburger and fries.  [Although I wish it was some days.]  Eat food that help you and not hurt you.  Eat non-processed foods.  Im trying to eat more fruits and vegetables and as organic as possible.  Im not going to lie, its hard!  Processed food is everywhere and it taste so good.  I just have to make the decision to help my body instead of hurt it.

3. Sweat

I love to get good and sweaty at the gym.  I feel better during the day and it helps my metabolism.  I try to work out at least 3 days a week.  When I first started going it wasn’t easy.  Gyms are intimidating.  I would zone out and just try and get through my workout.  Now I crave the gym.  Sounds silly, I know.  I didn’t think that I would ever want to go to the gym.  But I’m seeing results and I want to push myself more and more each trip.

What healthy changes have you made in your life?
