  1. Eat more protein and veggies.  Fill your plate half up with veggies, a quarter with protein and another quarter with fruit.  Protein and fiber help to fill you up without filling you out.
  2. Drink more water.  Put down the soda and drink more water.  Add lemon, lime and cucumber slices with a mint spring to your water.  It is your go-to detox water.
  3. Start exercising.  Do 3 days of 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise.  Add intervals to 1 day of your cardiovascular workout to kick up the burn.
  4. Lift weights.  Lifting weights will help you to lean out, tone your muscles and burn fat.  Starting with lifts that target big muscle groups like squats, lunges, hip bridges, chest press, row, planks.  Do this 3 days a week.  If you don’t know how to do these exercises check them out on my youtube channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YWs_rY7FdA
  5. Watch your alcohol intake.  Alcohol has calories and what you mix with it has calories.  Be mindful of what you drink.  Plus, when people start to drink they usually start to eat foods that are higher in fat and calories.  So, be careful at your next happy hour.
