Health and Fitness

I am not sure if I ever mentioned this before, but I am really into health and fitness. I don't know why I am, since my parents really aren't, and I wasn't raised to be this way, but I am.

Don't get me wrong, I love my junk food, but I have learned to eat less of it, and smaller portions.

I decided to do a few little health and fitness posts as summer is around the corner, and that usually means people are ready to get healthy and fit. :)

ONE: my number one tip is drink water!!! This is so important. Water is essential to life, but many people don't drink as much as they should. Take water with you everywhere you go. Drink before, during, and after workouts. DRINK THAT H2O!!! :)

TWO: we hear a lot of talk about healthy eating, but if you're a teen living at home, it can be hard to eat healthy, especially if your family doesn't. Encourage your parents to buy healthy stuff. My dad likes to take us kids to circle k a lot to get candy bars. What I like to do instead of getting candy, is I will get a granola bar or a cereal bar, a healthier tasty alternative.

Make sure you are eating plenty of and veggies!

THREE: allow yourself some junk food. It isn't good to completely deprive yourself of junk food, because you will crave it and eat a whole bunch when you get the chance. If you are out with friends, enjoy the ice cream or brownies. I like to eat junk less often, because it is a special treat when I do eat it.

I am going to post three more fitness tips soon.

Remember you are beautiful just the way you are!!! :)
