What sort of diet and exercise plan should I take on to make my mind and body sharp?
I am a healthy weight at 140 lbs and 5′10” but I would ideally like to be about 130. I am in school, get little sleep and have a toddler, nephew, husband, 2 stepkids, household chores and a life to tend to…I would like to know what sorts of food I should eat more of, what should I cut out? How often should I exercise and what should I do when I exercise. I can’t get to the gym anymore, so it will require walking and thats really it…
Keep sugar to a minimum, and if you have to have some, try to get it in before noon and definitely not late at night. Sugar is the main reason people put on weight. Sugar hides in a lot of places, so you have to read labels. Keeping meat and dairy to a healthy minimum also helps a lot. I go through phases sometimes when I’m a vegan, and the weight just slides right off and I always feel like I’m thinking better. Eat lots and lots of organic veggies and whole grains, like quinoa, which has lots of protein.
You should exercise pretty much every day for about an hour, though it doesn’t have to be all at once. Your best bet is to include your kids somehow, like taking them for a walk, playing kickball, jumping rope, or whatever they like to do that’s physical. Then you kill three birds with one stone. 1. You get exercise. 2. They get exercise (and learn good habits). 3. You get some great bonding time with the kiddos. If the toddler is underfoot, you could put him/her in an Ergo carrier while you’re playing with the older kids, and then the toddler will be having a good time, too.
If you have time early in the morning or late at night all to yourself, try a relaxing, restorative yoga DVD. You sound like you deserve some quiet, peaceful stretching and breathing!
That said, 140 is a really great weight for your height. I’m sure you look fantastic already.
