Eating right and exercising doesn’t have to be hard! There are so many simple things that we can do that may seem small, but every change for the better helps!! Here are a few diet and exercise tips that are easy to do, and should be very simple to incorporate into your lifestyle:

Diet Tips

• Pass on the dinner roll or bread when you eat out
• If you must eat fries, get the small order instead of the large
• Hold the cheese on your sandwich and opt for extra veggies
• Use one tablespoon of peanut butter instead of two

Exercise Tips

• Take your dog for a 30 minute walk instead of letting him out in the backyard
• Do an extra 25 minutes of cardio exercise one day a week
• Climb stairs in your house or lift dumbbells during the commercials of your favorite TV show.
• Add five minutes of jogging during your walk

And remember “Good and bad things happen in life, but what matters, what defines us, is how we handle them.” If you’ve labeled your struggle to lose weight and get healthy as a “bad thing” in your life, think about how you’re handling the struggle and what you’re doing to turn that “bad” thing into a “good” thing. A positive “I can do it” attitude can make all the difference!
