Right! This year I have made a winter resolution that I am not going to be gaining weight for Winter. I find that during winter, I would eat to keep me warm and gain a lot of weight and then one month before summer would try and lose it. I found that it was not a healthy way and I would not lose it all. So this year, I thought lets make it a lifestyle of healthy living both inside and outside.
For the past few months I have lost 10kg and is maintaining this weight! Here are simple tips that I have learned. If you are having few "health" problems don't worry, trust me this will work.
Tip 1: I changed the size of my plate! I went from eating my meals from a dinner plate to an entree/side plate. I soon released that I was getting full. I managed to trick my stomach.
Tip 2: Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate! I am not a water person but I found that my skin drying up! Like a plant I needed water. My doctor gave me a good idea. At work have a big glass of water near you at all times. Every time you receive an email and you read it and then take few sips of water before answering the email by the end of the day you would be drinking at least 2-3 glasses a day! I love this idea not only I am thinking about the right response but I am also hydrating my body.
Tip 3: Becoming a Yoga & Gym Bunny! I got myself a gym buddy! It helps when days you don't want to move someone is telling you "Lets GO!" I also found a yoga guru who teaches the right traditional way of practicing yoga! Trust me, it makes a lot of different learning the traditional way from the commercial way! At my yoga class, the room is dark just with two lamp shades switched on and the room smells so aromatic with eucalyptus oils to relax you, you are not allowed to wear any shoes and not only that you are not distracted with your surrounding on how flexible you are.
So two thing: get a gym buddy and find yourself the traditional yoga guru.
Tip 4: Opps! Just realized I have been doing this wrong! I was reading http://www.getfitwithsonia.com that some of the exercise moves I have been doing wrong! Getting it right does help you get the right results.

Tip 5: Holy Cravings!!! Yes, we all have craving. Mine is Choooooocolate!!! Just typing this is making me crave for it! I started to swap chocolate with either grapes or oranges. I found the sweet cravings would be satisfied.
I hope this four tips helped you! Definitely, let me know what you think or more share with me your tips for staying fabulous both inside and outside.
Love Vina xx
