[i've done some reseach on these things, but they are just little things i follow, that make my life so much better, i don't claim to be right, but it works for me.]
**found this on my old blog, i thought i lost it. i like it though so enjoy! :)
TIP 1: drink green tea. you wont get sick. ever since i started drinking a cup of green tea every day i haven't gotten sick. i also find drinking tea relaxing, and green tea has been known to speed the metabolic rate. what could be better?
TIP 2: not eating won't help you lose weight. those of you who think that the "not eating anything at all" diet will help you lose lots of weight and fast, are crazy. not eating puts your body into starvation mode, which means when you can't stand the not eating anything part anymore, everything you do eat will be stored. a better idea would be eating a reasonable amount every three hours. this keeps your metabolism going. if you really want to lose weight try eating right and exercising. (no more fast food or soda is a great start.) it's not about being stick thin; it's about being healthy and confident.
TIP 3: eat breakfast. (this one goes along with number two.) eating breakfast starts your metabolism. and it will make you happier, nothing puts me in a worse mood than starving until lunch time rolls around. not only that, but many studies show that those who eat breakfast do better in class or at work. if you don't have time, grab a granola bar or banana on the go.
TIP 4: afraid of the gym? work out at home. just because you are self conscious, or can't afford a gym, doesn't mean you don't deserve to be in shape. there are lots of things you can go in the comfort of your own home, for free. my favorites are lunges, squats, and dancing (a great cardio exercise.) look in your favorite magazine or online for lots of exercises at will target the area you want to improve. need motivation, burn an awesome cd that you can't help but dance to.
TIP 5: go tanning. stop fearing tanning beds. they are not simply a cancer box. there is a healthy medium. your body needs vitamin d and basically the only way to get it is to tan. tanning dries your skin which clears up acne, and darker skin hides redness. (just because you use a tanning bed doesn't mean you have to look like you spent the summer on the Cayman islands.) also, i find tanning so relaxing. just make sure to use a good lotion, moisturize after, and give your skin a few days of rest between each session. [oh and don't even try to tell me i'm wrong, i am smart tan certified, if you want to know what i know, check out smarttan.com]
TIP 6: drink more water, duh! this one is so simple, but not enough people follow it. just by breathing your body loses at least two cups of water a day, and more is lost sweating and going to the bath room. wow, what if you don't even drink two cups a day. then you are simply losing water...probably not good right? ever wonder why you have a headache, or just feel like crap...drink a glass of water and see if you feel better. usually people just forget to drink it, so tips to remeber...make yourself drink half a cup of water before you get to drink the juice, soda, coffee, ect, that you want. or i know when i sit at the computer or watch tv i have a tendancy to pick up the cup next to me without noticing. so keep some by you, it wont be nearly as hard to get eight glasses a day. your skin will look so much better if you do. affraid of tap? don't be, it's safe; the EPA regulates it.
TIP 7: be nice. if you are nice to others, they will more than likely have no reason not to be nice to you. if you give everyone you meet a smile and a good attitude, your have alot better chance to get a smile and a good attitude back. and what about karma. try going one day being nice to everyone, and thinking about others instead of yourself; you might just find that karma is real. and how awful is it to be a bitch all the time. it's especially great to be a great person when people talk bad about you; all you're doing is proving them wrong. and how can you hate the beautiful girl with the beautiful attitude?
