Getting started on transforming yourself into a healthier fit Mom is not easy.
It can be overwhelming when you start to think about all the changes you need to make.
Changing your eating habits, what you eat, and exercising.
The best approach is a slow and stead, baby steps approach.
Any project can become overwhelming if you tackle too much too soon.
Take a home renovation project for instance.
It's much easier to change a few little things at a time than everything at once.
A kitchen remodel is expensive, time consuming and stressful, nothing ever goes as planned.
What if you just changed the knobs first and a fresh coat of paint.
Later, change the backsplash, and change the light fixtures.
In no time, without realizing it and without stress you have a whole new kitchen.
Take the same approach with your Healthy Mom Makeover.
If you have a desire to get healthy and fit, start with little changes and keep adding to them.
A simple thing like reading the labels on the food you are eating so gage where exactly you could cut back should be the first step.
Switch to wheat bread from white.
Try to cut back on the processed foods you eat.
Don't jump right into daily exercise either, take small steps and work up to a regular fitness program.
Try parking the car farther away from the door instead of always trying for the closest spot.
Take the stairs instead of the elevator or escalator.
When you start regular exercise start slow and simple.
Walking is a wonderful, low impact way to get started.
Live in a winter climate, no worries, there are many wonderful indoor walking programs you can follow, from the comfort of your living room.
Small changes are easier to make and stick with long term than trying to make a large sweeping makeover.
What does it all mean, it means, you are more likely to succeed.
You can transform yourself and become the healthy fit mom you want to be for your family and most importantly, yourself.
