Fitness Tips To Help Make The Most Of Your New Healthy Diet

The journey to lose weight takes great restraint. The first step is the most important and luckily that’s covered by Fire Dept Meals is to get on a new healthy diet. Looking at the second step and everything after that things can get a little bit complicated. Luckily, the exact thing that we’ll be discussing today is all based on these next few steps.  These tips will range from other ways to stay focused followed by finding a friend to help you stay on point. Now, that we’re all excited let’s stop procrastinating and jump right in!

Exercise

Right off the bat it just feels appropriate to mention the most important and that is to just get up and walk around. With covid still on the prowl, a lot of us are working from home and we spend a ton of time sitting around which isn’t good for ANYONE. It may not appear to be an issue instantly but over time you’ll feel back pain. Sometimes even the most basic of tasks can become a pain. With this in mind, I’m going to list some ideas to help get you in the mood to exercise. Some of these are going to be extremely simple. Yet they’re a fantastic way to help with your new healthy diet.

  • Walk your way to success- As it says, you don’t HAVE to run every day of your life. Any type of exercise is better than none at all. Even if it’s once in the morning and at night.
  • Pick a toon- Pick a song of your choosing. Having something to rock out to or a podcast to listen to is great motivation.
  • Find a friend- doing anything alone is never a good time! Sometimes it’s best to find a friend or family member to join you while you exercise.
  • Set a goal- Set many goals focused on where you want to be one day. Or how many times you do various activities. Keep track of it via an app or write it down.

As you can see exercising is such a crucial part of being healthy. The mindset you want to go with is hey if I’m spending time on my new healthy diet then doing any extra work will help tremendously. If downloading an app interests you then check this list of best fitness apps! You won’t be disappointed.

Eat Correctly

During the day you want to eat an extremely healthy and tidy snack through the day to keep yourself full. You want to keep your metabolism going as much as possible to keep the food from sitting in your stomach for too long. Of course, what you’ll see most is to make sure you eat the most important meal of the day which is breakfast! You can always check out our selection of Breakfast items on our delivery menu, now something you’ll notice is all of our breakfast items are protein-heavy. This is what you want so you have enough energy to keep the day going and when you want to exercise the last thing you want to feel is tired or sluggish.

While waiting for lunch it’s a great idea to eat something light. Maybe cheese or a nice fruit bowl is a great choice to keep yourself from getting hungry. For lunch, you can eat one of our many choices from Grandpa’s Meatballs to Grandpa’s Beef Stew which is on different spectrums but easy to heat up. If needed it can be sealed up and saved for later. Another snack if you get hungry before dinner and then wrap up the day with some Beef Stroganoff or any other healthy choices! After dinner, it’s highly recommended to go exercise to help process what was eaten for the day. This can always be adjusted to what time works best for you, again ANY exercise is better than none at all!

Be Realistic

Lastly, I feel like the most important thing of the entire process is, to be honest with yourself. The biggest obstacle to everything you’re trying to do here is honestly yourself. A lot of what you’re trying to do is a mental game and if you set some insane expectations then things might be set up for failure. Take the time to set goals as we’ve discussed before to help avoid any potential failure. I’ve decided to take some time and post some goals for you below!

  • Get adequate sleep
  • Take the time for self-care
  • Try to not take two days off in a row
  • Reward yourself for a job well done
  • maintain a positive mindset

You never want to start a healthy diet and tell yourself hey in a month I’m going to lose a crazy amount. Sometimes it’s honestly a slow burn and that’s okay! Just make sure you’re aware of this beforehand so this isn’t an issue down the line. To add to the realistic part, it’s OKAY to have a cheat every once in a while. It will help keep you sane!

Let’s Get Started

Now, let’s take a second to list off everything we talked about today. So, some things that we talked about today are some steps to help you get started alongside your healthy new diet. Everything that we listed today you can take at a general pace, it’s okay to start slow and build into it. As mentioned this is a journey, not a short sprint.  Make sure to have realistic goals and eat healthy. If the time is taken to own this and if you’re in a good mental state then you’ll own this journey and before you know it you’ll be a new you!
