Ok so what I have learnt over the week is that there are around 10 tips to a healthy lifestyle.

1 – Get enough sleep
2 – Stay hydrated
3 – Snack healthy
4 – Plan meals
5 – Exercise
6 – Eat vegetables and fruit
7 – Resist tempting junk foods
8 – Eat every 4-6 hours
9 – Get enough fibre in your diet
10 – Have healthy treats

I know most of these are a given but they really are important. I have noticed that I drink far more water than I usually do on this challenge and I don’t feel the urge to snack constantly on chocolate or sweets. I had a protein shake this morning before work and after I finished at 3pm I had a fizz stick as I felt so tired. When I got home I had another shake and then had family dinner around my brother’s house. I think I ate a little too much but I don’t reckon I’d be much over 1,200 calories today. I really struggle to eat as much as I should. I’m not used to eating so often, my 10 tips to a healthy lifestyle prove I should eat every 4-6 house and I know I don’t. I usually have one big meal a day and a few snacks. However on this challenge I swear I eat far more than I would normally do. I went bowling with my friends, I’m not very good at bowling and I’m very competitive so get super frustrated when I can’t do well at something. On the other hand, if there is one thing to be rubbish at, bowling isn’t that bad of a choice in my opinion.

I didn’t find it too difficult to just drink water and I’m really liking the taste of lemon in my drink. Before I have had lemon in my water and I couldn’t taste it, but for some reason on this diet plan I can taste it far more. I should really try and work on following those 10 tips to a healthy lifestyle. If I could plan my meals better and try and stay hydrated after this 30 days to healthy living, I can definitely see that it would improve my life. My energy levels dipped a little today but nothing a fizz stick couldn’t fix. Right time to get some beauty sleep, half term is upon us which means more work for me.
