STAY MOTIVATED TO EAT HEALTHY

1. SET SMALL, MEASURABLE GOALS that will help you get to your overall large goal. 2. KEEP A FOOD AND EXERCISE JOURNAL. This is extremely helpful to track how much you’re eating – sometimes you don’t realize how many small bites here and there add up. You can do a hand-written journal or go digital and log your food/fitness from the computer or your smartphone. 3. KEEP PROCESSED JUNK FOOD OUT of your diet by adding in nutritious whole foods. 4. SKIP THE PANTRY AND HEAD TO THE FRIDGE. No one really keeps a lot of processed foods in their fridge because they’re usually self-stable. When looking for an afternoon snack, stick with something from the fridge (non-fat greek yogurt, fruit, veggies with hummus, edamame, etc.) 5. TRY NEW FOODS. Eating the same meal every night can get old. Look for new healthy recipes online, in cookbooks or magazines so you don’t get bored with eating healthy. 6. EAT SOMETHING EVERY 2-3 HOURS. This keeps your metabolism running and also makes sure you don’t overeat after work.

7. KEEP NUTRITIOUS FOODS ON HAND AND READY TO EAT. Preparation is the key to eating healthy! Having fresh vegetables and fruits, lean protein, healthy fats, and smart carbs each week is super helpful for staying on track.

Have you or a friend experienced any pain or physical stress? If so, then I have something to tell you about that can help…We are excited to announce Physical Therapy Specialties will soon be hosting Free Workshops due to several requests for more healthcare education. It’s for people who have missed work, family vacations, or any

activity because they’re worried about aggravating their pain. And it’s ideal for people in pain who want to get back to normal naturally, without pain pills, injections, or surgery.
