Bikini Season Bootcamp Part One: The Beginning

After attempting (and failing) to get into a khaki pencil skirt that I fit into just one month ago, I realized it's going to take more than just light jogging to get in shape for bikini season. I need to shift some of my food choices, plus do a little more exercise. I already eat pretty healthy, I just need to curb a few bad habits, and get my booty moving on the daily. Here's my plan:


Eat this not that:

-Oatmeal with cinnamon for breakfast, not cereal. I just use quick oats and add skim milk. I find I don't miss the sugar, but you can add a little Splenda/sweetener if you want. 

-Mixed nuts instead of candy. Costco has some great mixes right now, PS.

-Eating fish at least once a week. This is hard because my boo is allergic, so I have to grab some sushi or fish tacos on my own. Usually it's a lunch meal.

-Switching to all natural coffee creamer, such as Natural Bliss in Sweet Cream. Read your labels, your creamer should only be cream. 

-Eating fruit every day. I hate bananas, but I eat one a day. Or I try to eat an apple. 

-Swap my chip intake with Greek yogurt. 

-Drink less soda. I used to avoid the stuff, but my boo got me addicted again! (Not really, I just caved, but it's nice to blame someone else for your vices, right?)


Keep track of my water intake:
-I'm aiming for 60-80 ounces per day. I've heard a few different rules about your daily recommended water levels, so I just try to sip all day long and get as much in me as I can, without feeling like I just drank the ocean.

-Tea and lemon wedges are nice additions to plain water too.


Getting up at 6:30am to do this:

Running, 3-4 times a week, for 1-2 miles. Then a huge run on Saturday.

-I'm going to try to run on the beach on the weekends. All I need now is a playlist to get pumped up to!
