Fit & Fab: Weekly Goals

Sunday, October 7th, 2007 | Diet Tips

Let’s commit to be FIT & FAB starting this week with some healthy challenges:

Drink 100 ounces of water everyday. This is feasible. Simply buy one 20-ounce bottle of Aquafina/Dasani/younameit, drink it down, then fill it up 4 more times throughout the day. You’ve got your 100 ounces! Then you’re on your way to alleviate excess water weight and clearing up your complexion. This works great. If you don’t like the taste of plain water, adding a packet of Crystal Light will do the trick.
Eat a healthy, wholesome breakfast every morning with plenty of fiber and protein. This will give you lots of fuel to start off your day, and will keep you satisfied longer throughout the day (less snacking)! Some sample breakfasts include:
- Strawberry banana protein smoothie (16 ounces)
- A slice of whole wheat bread topped with a tsp of I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter Light and two eggs
- A cup of your favorite high-fiber cereal with skim or soy milk
- get creative and stay healthy!
Walk at least 30 minutes each day. Whether it be around your neighborhood or your basement, walking for at least 30 minutes a day builds muscle and burns calories (and keeps you sane). Walk for more than 30 minutes and you’re on a roll.
Have healthy snacks around for when you get nagging cravings. If you need to satisfy a sweet tooth, I find that peaches do just the trick. You could also opt for berries or green apples. If you want a filling, high protein snack, beef jerky is my absolute favorite. I carry a stash of jerky around in my handbag and nibble on it when I’m hungry between meals. I’m a fanatic for Hal’s Beef Jerky - you can’t beat the authenticity (or the price).
Take your vitamins. Even a simple multivitamin will do wonders for your health, mood, and even your weight. B vitamins especially aid in energy metabolism which enhances weight loss. I personally take a multivitamin, B-complex, and fish oil pills. I recommend all three.

We can do it!

Awesome tips. I’ve been doing the vitamin thing for some time and really notice a difference if I forget to take them even one day! It’s crazy.

I just need to get better about the water intake. The Crystal Light To Go packets help me on that one since I get bored with water, but slices of fresh fruit are great too.

Awesome tips for right when I’m tryin to get back on track! Any tips for what to do when it’s too cold to go walk outside? It is freezing here this week and rains lots and lots.

Donny bought me like 15 100-calorie packs of jerky. They have MSG, but still they’re pretty awesome.

I’ve been trying to be healthy for a while now, the last couple of weeks I’ve been trying to drink more water, makes your body feel nice and flushed out!

I just read your Drugstore Makeup article and it just further hammers in the realization that moms are always right. My mom’s makeup bag always contained that favorite pink & green cult mascara (now my own makeup staple) as well as the blush you mentioned.

Thanks for mentioning the HIP eyeshadows as well. The commercials made them look awesome but drug store eyeshadow rarely stays in place all day.

I’ll be commited to the fit & fab week and the weeks to come. I so need to get back on vitamins and I’ll def be placing an order thru my business bc they have some the best vitamins and health supplements around. They are slighty pricey but, they are worth it. Also, chinese herbal stores are a great place for other health supplements and have some vitamins as well.
