Are you one of those women who are constantly running around with too much to do? Does the picture above seem like a long-lost dream to you? I think that is most of us these days, overloaded with work, kids and family…when do you start taking care of YOU??

There are a few things you can start with right in your own home - the first one is to make sure and drink lots of water. You should be drinking 6 – 8 glasses a day to help cleanse your system AND reduce cellulite, along with giving your skin a fresher appearance. This is a well-known tip in the modeling industry – if you ever come across a model in New York during fashion week I guarantee you there will be a bottle of water somewhere within her reach.

Eat smaller meals more often, if you can. This helps boost your energy and speeds up your metabolism. If you work, take some healthy snacks to stick in your desk drawer to munch on during the day in between meals (raisins, nuts, dried fruit, etc.). Skipping meals is NOT the answer – eating more often in less quantites IS the answer!

Or perhaps a brisk walk once a day is more your style – in just a few weeks you will start to see results! You can alternate a walk every other day with simple floor excercises like a few push-ups, leg lifts and sit-ups. Just make sure to stretch before and after, and check with your doctor to make sure that you are ready for this kind of activity.
