.
Check your portion sizes and make sure mindless snacking isn’t still upsetting your progress.

Are your meals balanced? Getting enough protein, fats, carbs? Adding enough flavors? Spices,herbs sweet and savory to meals?
.
Are you spending a bit of time thinking about what you like to do and how good you will feel doing it?
.
Do you have a routine for bedtime and are you being good to yourself by doing it?
.
Are you taking things one step at a time and celebrating the small wins as well as the big ones?
.
Are you spending time with people who inspire you and cheer you on or are you spending too much time cheering and trying to inspire others?
.
It takes patience and a bit of time to build a lifestyle that you love.
.
It doesn’t take a lot of effort to fall into a lifestyle that we don’t necessarily like but meets our basic needs. Complacency happens without alot of intention. We can’t expect a lifestyle that we fell into to bring us the results we love.
.
A lifestyle we love is built with intention, rests on purpose and constantly adapts.
