50 Healthy Habits Every Girl Should Have #2

As promised here is this week's 5 habits

#6. Understand that excercise doesn't have to be a big time commitment

Back to this working out diabolical conversation. Working out doesn't always mean going to the gym or attending your zumba classes every week. Unless you are a gym freak, the rest of you will agree with me that getting time to workout can be struggle. Why? Well, we always look for silly excuses to bail out. From lack of time, to lack of finances. We even use our families as excuses as well. (Sadly). But like i said before, how hard is it for you to do simple workouts? Like using the stairs? Going for walks with your spouse or children during the weekend? Walking your dogs in stead of having your guard or gardener do it? (This is a challenge that i'm forcing myself to adapt to).

#7. Cut back on (evil) sugar

Truthfully, for those close to me know for a fact, I am a sugar freak. I saw this and started laughing coz i knew this will be a total fail on my end. I cannot survive without a dose of sugar in a day....AT ALL. Though i did abit of research on this and understood why its called 'evil'. People add weight from excessive sugar intake. At the same time health isssues such as diabetes tend to crop up. I've really tried to understand how people are able to have anything without sugar and to be honest, if it ain a health issue, I don't get it. Lifestyle choices....in my opinion. Anyway, this also joins my list of things I will try to work on. This week, try and calculate the amount of sugar you'll take. The results will amaze you.

#8. Drink warm water with cayenne, pepper and lemon daily.

People trying to cleanse and loose weight, try this out. My taste buds had a field trip with this. It was pretty peculiar and taught me one thing, stick to cucumber/ lemon water. If not.....PLAIN COLD water. I was amazed afew years back when i read about the importance of drinking water. I never understood why, as a child my mother would force it down my throat. Though now I'm really thankful for my flawless skin....(just saying). Gents, do you know any benefit?

a) flushes out toxins
b) improves skin complexion
c) natural headache remedy
d) increases energy and reduces fatigue
e) puts you in a good mood.
And the BEST thing about water; its FREE. What can give all those benefits at no cost?

#9. Don't try to keep up with people you ain't

I'm a die hard advocate on one's own definition. We always say: 'The people we keep define our character'. There is some truth to that but we don't get the true characteristic of a person. Though the one thing I always say to everyone around me: ALWAYS BE TRUE TO YOURSELF. If impressing people and trying to fit in is what drives you; REALITY CHECK;You're wasting your energy trying to keep up with people who already have their plans mapped out to suit them and here you are following them sheeplessly. Remember to always remain with those who add value and you build each other.

#10. Use a rentinol if you start getting wrinkles.

To be honest, I had no clue what rentinol was prior to this writing. So for those who are in the dark as I was rentinol is a yellow compound found in green and yellow vegetables, egg yolk and fish-liver oil. What it basically does is generate new blood vessels in the skin and increases the making of new collagen. It also helps with fading age spots. (Who knew?) I found this really amazing because its a natural way of fighting wrinkles as well as acne. Though one needs to be consisten in using it to notice the changes. The only bummer thing about this is that one starts noting the difference 6 months down the line. Well its better than going for botox fillers....


See you next week for another session...
