Save Money and Stay Slim

So, one of your New Years Resolutions is to lose the weight you gained earlier this year. How can you do so without spending too much money? Here are a few ways to get it done:

Drink water: not only does this save money (especially if your tap water is safe to drink), but it’s great for your health. It’s recommended to drink 8 8oz glasses of water a day at least, and if the hunger pangs hit, you should drink water and see if that will alleviate the hunger. Sometimes, after all, it’s just thirst.

Work out: Does it cost much to run around the block? To do push ups? Or crunches? Or sit ups? Not at all. You don’t need much space for these activities and can certainly work on your cardiovascular fitness by adding just a bit of time into your day for working out.

Eat less: You might get unlimited food at home or in the dorm, but it may be better to just opt in for smaller portions that will help you lose the weight. If you’re feeding yourself, you’ll have more food for the rest of the week so you don’t have to spend more money for more meals and make your wallet lighter.

Have your veggies: Fruits and vegetables are a lot better than Reese’s Peanut Butter cups — and they’re cheaper, too.

Eat a good breakfast: Don’t skip breakfast! That’s the most important meal of the day!

Set good, strong habits and stick to them. You’ll be much happier that you did.
