So you want to get energized?

Wanting to get energized is only the beginning. You number one have to move, yes I said move. Get off the couch and start moving. Using your fingers to change channels on the remote control is not the kind of movement I am talking about.

I am talking about real movement. How about jogging, but if that is too hard for you walk. You don’t have to go to the track to walk if that’s what you decide to do. How about the next time you go to the store don’t park right in front of the store ,but at the back of the parking lot. If you have to go up at couple of stories in a building take the stairs.

You don’t have to go in an Olympic training program to get energized, but being active is a great start. As a writer I am in front of the computer a good part of the day, so here is what I do at least twice an hour I get up and walk down the stairs and back. I might even to a little stretching.

So keeping active is a big step in being energized, but there is more. Eat right. A pizza once in a while is OK but not a regular diet of it. Do and I mean do have breakfast. Some whole wheat cereal, skin milk and some fruit, I personally like a small glass of V-8 juice along with my cereal and fruit. Once in a while I’ll have a fried egg, but I use olive oil in the pan.

Lunch should not be two quarter pounders, fries, and a shake. How about a salad with grilled chicken now that makes for a good lunch. But don’t load the salad with some high fat salad dressing, but rather put on a little olive oil and vinegar.
Personally I am off diet drinks; rather I either drink water or no-sweeten ice tea. Believe it or not once you get in to the swing of this kind of eating it pretty good and you’ll find you don’t put on those extra pounds.

I’ll let you figure dinner out, but here is a suggestion. Low fat, low sugar, green veggies and good protein, by eating like this you can’t go wrong.

Now for the sleeping end of energizing yourself, try to keep regular hour and have at least eight hours a sleep a day.

In summary be active, eat will and get a good night’s sleep. By living this life style you will find you have more energy than you have ever had.
