Every girls worst fear is gaining weight in college. Honestly, it's hard to stick to consistently working out and eating healthy. With all of the stress that college brings, it's hard to find the time to worry about your health, but you need to! Here are some tips that have helped me stay motivated.
1. Find a workout buddy.
The gym can get boring. Try finding a friend that will go with you and entertain you. Working out with someone else too helps push you!
2. Make a schedule and stick to it.
Try and go to the gym the same time every day. This will help you stay motivated and be a solution to all of the million excuses you come up with in your head to stay in bed instead.
3. Set goals for yourself.
Everything is always brighter when there's an end goal. Whether it is a certain weight or just to feel more energized and healthy, setting a goal will help you stay on track.
4. Join a workout class.
This also will give you consistency in your workouts. Also, there's nothing more motivating than being yelled at by an instructor!
5. Avoid unhealthy foods in the dining halls.
Sure, a piece of pizza isn't going to kill you, but letting yourself eat unhealthy too often can eventually turn into a pattern.
6. Find a go-to healthy meal on campus.
Whether it's a salad, a healthy choice of protein, or some fruit and vegetables, knowing you have healthy alternatives on campus will help you avoid the unhealthy choices.
7. Go to the grocery store.
If your campus is like mine, there might be limited healthy food options. Try and get to the grocery store and get some healthy foods to have when you are sick of dining hall food.
