5 Ways For a #GirlBoss to Stay Fit

Though I may mention it constantly, I have never been so excited and motivated after 

starting my new career about a month ago at a fantastic startup in Boston.

Now having a longer commute, startup hours and regular evening 

networking events means finding time to workout is a bit more difficult.

After perusing Yahoo Health, here are a few ways I have managed to

maintain a busier schedule while actually losing those last few pesky pounds.

1. Make it a priority. If you vow to live a healthy existence, you have to 

keep it in the forefront of your mind constantly.

This means incorporating one healthy habit at a time. Drinking more water, more sleep, 

daily vitamins, extra fruits and vegetables, cutting your sugar or refined carbohydrates.

2. Don’t over-complicate things. High-end cleanses or fancy gym memberships are not essential. 

When I began my new job I lost access to the private gym at my last office yet temporarily 

replaced some of my cardio with 1.5 walks to/from the office each morning and evening.

3. Stay accountable. I track my daily miles with a FitBit, eat a clean and mainly raw diet which keeps my energy high and long-standing. Making me a literal powerhouse.

4. Limit not eliminate indulgences. A life without a little sweet morsel here and 

there or glass of bubbly is well, just darned boring and in my opinion, not sustainable.

In order to succeed, we must make concessions and be realistic.

Decadence can also be healthy like these 6 Chia Seed Dessert Recipes.

5. Switch it up. Repetitive activity is a bore and will inhibit your progress.

 

As I got acclimated to my new neighborhood I found a gym just a few doors down 

from the office, took frequent power-walks during lunch and popped into 

an occasional spin class, run on weekend and dance (badly) daily.

Keep things fresh and exciting and you will continue to enjoy being active.
