1) Don’t feel bad about throwing away food you don’t need to eat.
If you have already purchased the food it doesn’t make a difference if you put it in your mouth or in the trash! The best thing would be to not purchase things you do not need in the first place. But in the case of cleaning out your cupboards and fridge to get rid of things you do not need just relish in the fact that you will no longer be tempted by these things and you will be making room for all of the wonderful foods you will be eating instead.
2) Cardio 1st thing in the morning helps with motivation.
Actually, any type of exercise in the morning can help to motivate you to make better choices during the day because you start your day empowered and feeling good about what you have already accomplished…which is taking care of yourself and giving your body the exercise it needs to stay strong and healthy. Cardiovascular training gets your heart rate up and raises your core temperature signaling your brain to release those feel good chemicals serotonin and dopamine. It has been scientifically proven that exercise works just as well as anti depression medicine by releasing those feel good chemicals but without the negative side effects.
3) Eliminate regular soda. It is the worst thing you can put into your body.
