Bikini Season


Yes, in fact it is now officially "Bikini Season". This means it is time to say goodbye to the delicious deserts and fast food cravings and time to hit the gym. Once a year we gather around the beach in small little bikinis and parade around proudly and with no fear. In order to be fearless at the beach, you must work for it! Nothing comes for free in life. Here are a few rules on how to get that amazing beach-ready body you always dreamt of:
  1. Always have breakfast. It gives you the most energy so you can take on a new day.
  2. Eat whole grains and get rid of white bread.
  3. Drink lots and lots of water and stop drinking sodas and fruit juices.
  4. Start a routine exercise schedule that you can stick to it.
  5. Walk rather than take cab or the subway. Walking is the best natural cardio exercise and it is for FREE
  6. Cut back on Alcohol which is full of sugars and unnecessary carbs and fats
  7. Take Vitamins daily. As a personal experience, I have learned that they benefit the body miraculously.
  8. Try fake tans. The sun has dangerous UV rays which can cause premature aging of the skin, but who doesn't love a bronze babe? So try the bottle tans, they work just as well, maybe better!
  9. Laugh more. Stress causes bad eating habits so by being more relaxed, you can work on creating a balanced diet daily.
  10. Try to cook your own food rather than eating out. You never know what they put in your food, so the safest way to get the healthiest meal is for yourself to cook it!
