There are very few girls out there that bounce back as quickly as theyd like.
Nikkole Paulun has a body most girls wished they had,
even before having had a baby.
Nikkole has always been active being a cheerleader definatly helped her.
She recently wrote an article on her blog with some tips on how
she keeps her body looking UH-MAZING!
"Okay I don’t really “work out” BUT there are things I do throughout
the day/week to help keep my body in shape!"
1. Take the stairs - If it’s less than 10 flights of stairs,
I take the stairs. It sounds like a pain in the butt(which it literally is)
but it helps your legs and your booty stay nice and firm :)
2. Don’t take the closest parking spot -
When I go to school I park FAR from where I have class at or when
I go to the mall I park in the back.
It burns just a few extra cals but it definitely helps!
3. Dance Around! - During the day I turn on music while I do
whatever and just dance around. Have you ever seen the commercial
s for all the dancing workouts? Well trust me it works!
Sometimes I’ll even feel sore the next day from all the dancing I did haha!
4. Don’t eat fast food! - Fast food is LOADED with cals and fats
and basically ANYTHING unhealthy for you! I RARELY eat fast food
and if I do I make sure I choose something on the healthier side!
If you work and HAVE to buy it, make sure you make a plan to start packing
a nice healthy lunch, like I do!
5. DONT BUY UNHEALTHY FOOD - If you have bad foods in your house,
you will be tempted to eat them & you WILL eat them, I promise.
You might say, well I have kids in the house and my husband blah blah!
NO! First of all those bad diet habits you have started when you were a kid!
If you switch to buying healthy foods and snacks instead of unhealthy
ones it could really impact your childs life for the better.
You don’t want them to end up with a diet like yours do you?
If you don’t buy the bad food to put it in the house, then you just won’t eat it!
6. Snacks - Snacks are good for you because they keep your metabolism going.
A snack should be like an apple, celerey & peanutbutter, or some string cheese.
Don’t eat unhealthy snacks!
7. DO NOT DRINK POP - I know it gets your through your day or
you’re just plain ol addicted but I promise you this is why that bulge
isn’t going away! If you stop drinking pop and don’t even do anything else,
you will drop a few pounds in just one month. If you subsistute your
morning pop for an apple, it will have the SAME effect!
8. Small Proportions - I use to have a REALLY bad habit of putting
more on my plate than I should & then feeling obligated to eat it all!
Instead, put LESS on your plate that you think would make you full.
Eat that plate and in half an hour, if you still feel hungry, have a small snack!
9. Drink LOTS of water - During the day drink water, tea, and juice.
Sometimes when you think you’re hungry, you’re really just thirsty!
If you drink a bottle of water you might notice that “hunger” feeling go away!
10. Go for walks - I like to put in my headphones and take a walk around the block.
Not only is it an AMAZING stress reliever, it does wonders for your body.
Burns cals and tones you up! Some people get bored of going for walks around
their neighborhood so I suggest switching it up! Sometimes I’ll go to the park
to walk or even take Lyle with me!
11. Pay attention! - Pay attention to what you eat during the day.
I use to just eat and eat and not even realize how much I’d eaten until the end
of the day and be like DAMN! Instead, count those cals and even plan
out how you’re going to eat during the day so you don’t go over the limit.
I, myself, try to stick around 1250 cals a day.
12. Join in - Play with your kids! Go run around the yard with them, pull them i
n their wagon, jump on the trampoline, or go swimming together.
They’re all fun things to do without even noticing that you’re getting exercise.
13. Chores - Some chores require a little labor and help out with burning
a few extra cals. Such as mowing the lawn or taking out the garbage!
Alright there are 13 little things I do that help me keep my body looking the way it does!
They’re pretty basic and maybe a little silly but they really do help :)
I’ll add more if anyone has suggestions or I think of more things I do!
