[quote=Anonymous]Here are some tangible ideas, that can work regardless of your situation (Work outside the home, single parent, no gym available, etc):

- Drink a gallon of water every day.  You will be hydrated, you will want to eat less, and all your organs will function better

- If going to the gym or exercising outside the house before or after work isn't an option (which, for me, as a single mom with little kids way back when, wasn't), get yourself an online fitness workout and buy whatever weights or kettlebells you need in order to do the workout, and then... DO IT!!   I got myself back into shape after my second child was born by doing the kettleworks DVDs (i know, this ages me... but hey, after my first child was born I got into shape using VHS cassettes!!  LOL!!).  I bought a 10 pound and a 15 pound kettle bell at sports authority, and the DVD workouts were only about 28 minutes long, so I truly had no excuse.  I am a firm believer that pretty much 96% of the population can carve 28 minutes out of their day to work out.  The results came really quickly b/c the workouts were hard, but the fact that they were so short made them doable.

- See where you can cut white processed foods out of your diet, and then stick to that for a month. you'll see that after a month, skipping a morning bagel or muffin isn't quite so hard and that substituting it for some hard boiled eggs is fine.  Same with substituting zuchini noodles for pasta.  Etc.   I'm not saying go whole30 and cut out every gram of sugar from your life, but look at your diet and see where the processed foods are, and try to phase them out.

And drink that gallon of water!! You will be amazed at how good you feel!! [/quote]
