Set a number of miles you want to run in a workout, the amount of weight you want to lift in a set, or setting a calorie goal for yourself. If you take on too much at one time, you will most likely not follow through on it. Personally, I have tried running before in the past and pushed myself too hard. To the point where I would stop and get discouraged and stop all together. Taking small steps has been a huge help in my fitness and clean eating journey.<\/p>\n<p>First, I started with trying to eat better. I did the 24-day challenge from AdvoCare. It jump started my clean eating. I also had to change my eating habits because I was having liver problems due to my diet. I had to cut carbs almost completely out of my diet. So I stopped drinking soda, cut out a lot of sugar, pasta, tacos (sad, I know) and started exercising more.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some small changes you can make to help you with your diet\/exercise regime:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Go to the gym two to three times per week, or do whatever you are comfortable with<\/li>\n<li>Go for a walk form 30 minutes two to three times per week.<\/li>\n<li>Instead of going out to eat, find recipes that you enjoy and cook at home.<\/li>\n<li>Drink coffee with less cream or substitue sugar for stevia.<\/li>\n<li>Drinking more water and less soda! I cannot stress how important this is!<\/li>\n<li>Cut your carbs in half. This is tough to do because you don&#8217;t realize how many carbs you actually do eat in a day. And they are in<em><strong> everything<\/strong><\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you are just starting to make small changes, you will see big results! Do not get discouraged. Any change you make for yourself is a good change. \u00a0This is something I need to continue to tell myself. Results take time, but feeling good because of the good nutrients you put in your body happens almost instantly. So I challenge you to make at least one or two changes to benefit your health and the results will come!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>-Brenna \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fitness is all about goal setting.
