Losing Weight With Intentional Effort

   In the beginning of January and March, the gym is packed with people trying to lose weight, attempting to fulfill their New Year's resolutions and getting bathing suit ready for spring break; people approach weight loss all different ways - from extreme diets to crazy amounts of exercise - but there is a better (read: easier and more effective) way to approach weight loss, and that is by planning ahead. Losing weight requires intentionality and preparation with a little bit of determination; it may be hard, but you can do it!
The first step to shedding those unwanted pounds will be for you to figure out how many calories you want to consume each day, and then plan out your meals; if you wait until you're ravenously hungry to decide what to eat, you've waited too long and you probably will reach for an unhealthy option, so at the beginning of each week, write out what you are going to eat each day for each meal.
