MARCHING ON

What’s the fastest way to get in shape for bathing suit season?

I am a little over weight, and I am a very busy teen. I am only in high school, and I am in colorguard (people who spin the flags, sabres, and rifles with a marching band). Colorguard and school take up most of my time. So how can I fit getting healthy into my schedual?

1. Don’t drink your calories:
This is the most important rule to follow. Try not to drink anything that has calories; only drink water! A good rule of thumb for how much water you should drink is to divide your weight in half and that number in ounces is your recommended daily water intake. Therefore, if you weigh 200 lbs. , you should drink about 100 oz. per day.
2. Be Natural:
This means only eat natural food. Don’t panic now! Natural or naturally occurring food or food products are those which are minimally processed and remain as close as possible to their whole, original state. Natural foods are much better and generally more nutritious than their refined counterparts.
3. Feed Your Body:
You have to feed your body calories – good calories. It is very important to eat several meals a day. Do not go more than 4 hrs without eating, unless of course you are sleeping. You may not even need to limit how much you eat at each interval. Smaller, frequent meals will increase your metabolism, maintain your blood sugar, and prevent you from overeating.
4. Eat at Home:
Dining out is great, but do not do it! While this can be difficult if you travel a lot, if you do go out to eat, try your best to stick with the above rules.
5. Sugar is your Enemy:
Surely you have heard this one a thousand times, but it is true. If you love candy, cookies and sweets, you should do your best to give them up – at least for a short time. Stay away from the sweets, especially until you get to your goal weight. It really can be done!
6. Set Your Goal Weight:
You need to set goals in order to be successful in anything. Set a goal weight, but NOT a goal date! It is not important how fast you achieve your weight, so dates are not important. Health is always better than speed!
7. Get up and move:
Exercise is a very important part of getting in shape, but sometimes you might miss a workout. Even if this happens, you could pick some exercise – such as push-ups – and do that consistently no matter what interferes with the rest of your workout plans. Try doing 20 push-ups every morning before you get into the shower. Make it part of your daily routine. It may seem insignificant, but after some you will actually see a significant change in your body shape.
8. Relax on the Weekends:
It is important to follow the rules above. However, it’s okay to relax on the weekends. This means, do allow yourself to go out to dinner and eat some sweets on the weekend. This may sound contradictory, but it’s the real deal. If you have a craving, go for it. Anytime you have a craving for something that does not really conform to your diet rules – such as pizza, sweets or fried chicken – wait for the weekend to have them; make them your weekend treats. You can still follow the rules, but modify them a bit to fit in your cravings.
