1. Start out Your Day with Exercise

2. Drink More Water
Are you feeling bloated around your midsection and not sure what to do? Make sure you drink more water. Your goal should be to drink 8-10 glasses of water each day. Add lemon slices since this is a natural diuretic to help you alleviate bloating and lose any excess water weight you are harboring.

3. Amplify Your Workouts
If you are exercising at the same level and not pushing yourself to full intensity, your body may be stuck in a plateau. Amplify your workouts so you elevate your heart rate and get the scale to start moving. Be patient and keep pushing so you can reach your goals.
4. Eat Mini Meals
Are you eating enough food throughout the day? You should be eating 4-6 mini meals every 2-3 hours to keep your metabolic rate consistent. Make sure your meals consist of vegetables, lean protein and complex carbohydrates. Never wait to eat until you are famished because then you will overeat and this will cause weight gain. Mini meals are the key to helping the scale begin to go down again.
5. Challenge Yourself
Who says you have to enroll in a formal race or challenge? You can create your own cardio challenge by pushing yourself longer and harder each week. Write your challenge out in a visible place so that you can be reminded of your goals. Are you ready for the challenge?
