DON’T. BE. LIKE. CHUNKY 🐶
Chunky may be the queen of lounging, but we humans can learn a thing or two about staying active and making healthy choices. Let’s break it down:
1. Stop eating when you’re satisfied, not stuffed full.
Chunky has a tendency to keep munching until there’s no more food in sight. But we’re not bulldogs! Practice mindful eating. Pay attention to your body’s signals and stop when you’re satisfied, not stuffed. This isn’t just about calories; it’s about knowing your limits. Eating just because food is in front of you can leave you sluggish (just like Chunky after her treats). Control your portions, and eat with purpose, not out of habit!
2. MOVE!
Chunky’s favorite activity might be napping, but that’s no reason for us to follow her lead. Make movement a daily habit. Aim for 2-4 HIIT sessions per week to build strength and burn fat, but don’t stop there. Your body thrives on regular activity, so aim for 7,000–10,000 steps per day! Take the stairs, park a little further away, or enjoy a brisk walk—every step counts toward a healthier you. If you find yourself lounging like Chunky, it’s time to get up and get moving!
3. Add some color to your plate.
Chunky’s meals may be simple, but yours shouldn’t be. If your plate is full of shades of brown, it’s probably lacking in the nutrients you need. Aim for vibrant, colorful meals packed with fruits and veggies. The more colors, the better! It’s a great way to ensure you’re getting a wide range of vitamins and minerals. Challenge yourself to eat your 5 servings of veggies a day. Think greens, reds, oranges, and purples—the more variety, the less likely you’ll fall into Chunky’s beige food habits.
Remember, it’s all about balance. While Chunky may be adorable with her lazy habits and love for food, we have the power to make healthier choices. So don’t be like Chunky—take control of your health, keep moving, and fuel your body with vibrant, nutritious foods!
