1. Drink Water!
This one is a must. We all know we're supposed to drink a certain amount of water everyday, but a lot of us don't really know how much water to drink or how to fit drinking water into our everyday agendas. I recommend the app, Plant Nanny. This app is super cute and sends reminders throughout the day that your plant is thirsty, thus reminding you to drink more water yourself. You get to pick from a multitude of different plants and planters and give them personalized names. However, if you forget to drink water and to feed your plant on multiple occasions it will die and let me tell you, it's devastating so do your best to avoid that and stay hydrated!
2. Take Advantage of your School's Exercise Equipment and Facilities
Don't let one penny of that hefty tuition cost go to waste. Get your booty to the gym and remember, the work is worth it.
3. Find a Workout Buddy
I know I'm a lot more likely to work out or to push myself when I'm working out with someone else versus working out by myself. Create a workout schedule with your bestie and push each other to your best abilities.
4. Try to Eat Fruits AND Vegetables Every Day
I'm convinced that it's impossible to eat the suggested amount of vegetables everyday, at least 5 portions of 80g according to World Health Organization guidelines (whatever that means.) Maybe instead of that, alternate fruits and vegetables between meals- fruits with breakfast, veggies with lunch, and so on.
5. Make it a Goal to Workout At Least 3 Times a Week
Even if you can't find time to go to the gym take a break in-between homework and studying and do one of the thousands of workouts on Pinterest. They work!
6. Say No to Cream and Sugar
Caffeine is obviously a must somedays, but instead of loading your coffee with all that cream and sugar maybe try it black. If that seems like something that would never work for you, try switching to tea for a while and using natural sweeteners like honey or agave nectar. You might find that you like it just as much if not more!
We all have that inner fat girl inside of us that wants to be surrounded by an abundance of donuts and pizza at all times, but if you stay focused and follow these tips, you should be able to silence her desperate pleas for sweets long enough for spring break to roll around.
