The later sunset brings you an extra hour to get your workout in, more free time to enjoy the beauty of nature blossoming and also another hour to grill for the family. So make the most of the extra brightness and make sure you get your workout in!
8 Spring Clean Your Pantry
While you're spring cleaning everything else, take a crack at cleaning the pantry. Removing bad for you foods will allow you to make room for good foods, as well as, allow you to be more mindful of what you've actually been eating. Place more nutritious foods in the front so you're more likely to grab those versus something unhealthy.
9 Leave Fruit on the Counter
Clearing your counters or even your kitchen table of all food except a fruit bowl, will make you more likely to eat it because you're always seeing it. I don't know how many times I've stuck fruit in the fridge then forgotten about it-ugh... Such a waste!
10 Sleep Enough
With daylight savings time, it's easy to lose sleep and get off schedule. To ensure you're not packing on pounds this spring, make sure you're getting an adequate night's sleep. Studies show people who sleep less than 7 hours a night tend to weigh more than those who get a full 8 plus hours of sleep.
So spring into your best shape with those great tips and make sure you make each and every day matter. Life is what you make of it so enjoy the change of seasons with the spring slimming secrets I have shared!
