Simple Steps: 10 Weeks to Getting Control of Your Life

Simple Steps (continued)

Food Journaling
People tend to underestimate what they're eating by over 1000 calories
Gauge food allergies by looking at what is eaten when getting headaches, etc.
Record what you are eating AND what mood you are in when you are eating (right after you eat, not at the end of the day)

Isometrics - muscle contraction exercises
Do isometric exercises every day --- can help shape and tone
Concentrate on one muscle group at a time, and a different muscle group every day
Post a note that says "squeeze" somewhere that will remind yourself

Laundry System
Organize and maintain a routine to reduce stress

Daily Planning
Plan a to-do list for every day --- can prioritize and see what we've accomplished each day
Order according to priority, so that what needs to be done is accomplished first
Have a deadline for each item --- don't make your list too long
Include exercise, water, and daily consistent goals, while also having one free day
