\"businesswoman\"<\/a>These are the 7 things you need to know before you leave the house to have the most fit and healthy day possible.<\/p>\n

1. How much sleep did you get the night before<\/strong>? Getting enough sleep<\/a> is an important key to maintaining a healthy weight and having enough energy to get your exercise choices accomplished.<\/p>\n

2. Nothing, eggs and bacon, or peanut butter toast<\/strong>? Studies have shown that a healthy breakfast<\/a> helps jump start your metabolism, and the best choice is a complex carbohydrate and protein combination. Eggs and bacon might taste yummy, but it’s a higher fat choice.<\/p>\n

3. Where’s your water bottle<\/strong>? Drinking enough water during the day keeps your body hydrated and helps you lose weight. Often, we reach for food when we are actually thirsty. To avoid a plethora of waste, buy a refillable bottle<\/a> and then drain it every hour. If the idea of that much water makes you crazy, add in a flavored drink packet.<\/p>\n

4. What about lunch<\/strong>? Don’t leave the house without your lunch. Relying on fast food choices<\/a> is a quick road to the wrong foods. Take a few minutes to pull together a salad with some chopped chicken breast or even a healthy frozen meal and pair it with a piece of fruit. You will be so glad you did when noon rolls around!<\/p>\n

5. Do you have your sneakers<\/strong>? Can you walk to work? Walk from the bus stop? Run the stairs<\/a> during part of your lunch hour? Adding in exercise in small bursts can help you maintain that trim waistline.<\/p>\n

6. Do you have a couple of healthy snacks<\/a> within easy reach<\/strong>? Stashing a small baggie of trail mix or almonds, a protein bar or some fruit leather in your purse, vehicle or desk can save you when the mid-day munchies strike.<\/p>\n

7. Put on your game face<\/strong>! Go out there with a positive mental attitude<\/a> and a can-do spirit and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what great healthy choices you make!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
