Helpful Tips That I Have Received From Others

NaughtyThyroid Youtube

In the course of this journey many people have shared their experience and knowledge with me. Most of it i have dismissed because it did not make sense to me or was too hard for me to use at this point.
However, some tips were either reminders on excellent habits, easy twist to something obviously helpful and or something that really was innovative.

As always i make up my own mind and decisions based on my abilities, tolerance and personality. I like to say...if its so simple then why isn't everyone in great shape.

I try to add one thing at a time and do it for as long as necessary until it becomes a habit. so i build habit on habit. The reality for me is that i quickly let go of good habits so i find myself constantly back in square 1 and rebuilding habits that i know work and are good for me. It is a process for me and always will be.

I hope that some of this is helpful to someone.

The Tips:

-drink a glass of water as soon as you wake up. i've heard these variations; ice cold, room temperature, with a slice of lime. i drink room temp because of my sensitive teeth

-celery sticks are great snacks. i love them with hummus or peanut butter

-stay hydrated! the key of course is knowing what the right amount is for you. It is said that you should drink half your body weight in ounces. The tip i received was to have bottles full each morning that add up to the correct number and this way you know every day if you met your goal AND it is a visible reminder throughout the day to drink water. currently i use 2 bottles of smart water (50 oz each)

-keep your body moisturized and use sunblock every day

-before eating in the morning do at least 30 minutes of cardio

-1 cheat day per week ( i cant indulge in this because i can undo a weeks worth of diet in one day)

-non food rewards. Maybe a new item of clothing for every 5 lbs lost. My current "wish reward" is the Finis waterproof MP3 player so i can swim longer and harder

-Take your vitamins daily (i have a list of my favorite supplements in one of my previous posts)

- Don't eat after 7pm ( i am a night owl so this one is not something i can do) or stop eating 3 hours before bedtime

- detox your body (i like to detox by juicing)

- eat salads and soups

- sign up for events so that you can have a reason to workout (mudrun, 5k, bike ride, mini-tri, etc)


i will add more tips as i remember them
