No one becomes successful overnight. You have to work at it. Rest days once a week, but be careful about allowing yourself too many rest days.You should have a rest day once a week so your muscles have time to heal. However, don’t allow yourself to be lazy and slack off - having two consecutive rest days might cause you to have another rest day, which may eventually lead to a week of not exercising.

Overwhelmed? Don’t know where to start? Maybe this guide can help you out! :)

The purpose of this guide is to help you figure out how you should start your new healthy lifestyle and possibly with weight loss since that’s what a lot of us are here for.

  1. Start a journal.
    Write down your daily food logs, exercise logs, feelings, short-term and long-term fitness and health goals, your progress, why you’re doing this, etc.
  2. Find support.
    Create a network of support for yourself. Tell your family, friends, acquaintances, and everyone else about what you’re doing. You’re more likely to succeed when you have support.
  3. Find out your BMR and how many calories you should be consuming.
    Click here for a BMR calculator and Harris Benedict Equation. Everyone’s body is different, so your body’s needs are different as well. Be sure to get enough calories; your body needs the energy.
  4. Make a plan.
    Write down everything you’re going to do. Stay organized.
  5. Find out what your thing is.
    It could be running, hiking, canoeing, lifting weights, zumba, yoga, and the list goes on. The key thing is that it has to be enjoyable foryou. If you like it, chances are you’ll continue doing it.
  6. Treat days, not cheat days.
    It’s okay to indulge. Eating a doughnut now and then won’t kill you; eating one everyday however might eventually lead to diabetes. The vocabulary you choose to use is very important, and this doesn’t limit to just being healthy; it is relevant to life overall. Have a positive mindset.
  7. Start out slow.
    Take your time. No one becomes successful overnight. You have to work at it.
  8. Rest days once a week, but be careful about allowing yourself too many rest days.
    You should have a rest day once a week so your muscles have time to heal. However, don’t allow yourself to be lazy and slack off - having two consecutive rest days might cause you to have another rest day, which may eventually lead to a week of not exercising.

Hope this helped you and good luck!
