Secrets of Success

Just Do It

When you find yourself putting off your workout, challenge yourself to think of 3 valid reasons not to do it. It you can't then just GO as fast as you can before you can talk yourself out of it. You're not gonna turn back once in the car on the way to the gym.

Eat Fat to Get Thin

Alot of people (me included) assume that to lose weight you should always choose the fat-free options. I'm now realising that I actually NEED fat to feel satisfied and that going under my fat goal wasn't helping. Now I include some full fat dairy in my diet and try and eat nuts in some form every day.

Morning exercise

Try 30 mins of GENTLE exercise before breakfast. It helps to build an appetite if you don't like eating in the morning and leaves you feeling energised all day.

Use accurate measuring cups

I recently found out that the spoons in our house are NOT exactly teaspoons, dessert spoons and tablespoons when I bought a 'real' set of measuring cups and I felt cheated! If you're going to measure then you want to get it right :)
