Keep inspiring yourself to do something new and different each day. Add new things to your regime, experiment with new recipes, inspire people and ask them to join your fitness journey. All these things can keep you motivated to keep going on and experience better results.

Morning If you have woken up feeling super lazy and are dragging yourself out of bed, you need to perform these cool morning stretches today. It might seem like a task initially but it will certainly get you charged up for the day. Drink a glass or warm lime and honey water before you begin your stretches to feel even more refreshed.

Breakfast Make some yummy whole wheat eggless pancakes for breakfast today and see your family members jump with joy. However, ensure that they have a bowl of fresh fruits and some honey along with it instead of loads of nutella or butter. After all, you need to eat right.

Lunch Include iron and protein for lunch today with palak soya wadi sabzi. It goes very well with bhakris which again are very nutritious. It s a nice comforting meal for winters, easy to digest and keeps you full for lung. You can even eat a small katori of dal with it.

SnacksKhakhras are a light snack and our Indian version of nachos. There are several flavours available in it so you don t miss out on the taste while eating healthy. If you are snacking around 4pm, then you can have a small cup of masala chai with less sugar along with khakhras.

Dinner For dinner make an interesting egg and mushroom salad. Adding cooked elements to your salad gives you a feeling of being satiated even though you are eating just salad. If you are craving something additional, you can have a bowl of clear soup with it or have a glass of milk before bedtime.

Exercises

At home If you don t have an exercise buddy today, make the couch your exercise buddy. You ll be surprised at the number of exercises you can perform while sitting on the couch or using it. You won t even miss out on your favourite television series or match while practicing these exercises.

Yoga Practice Surya Namaskar at home today. You obviously have mastered the asana by now and have a better stamina at it too. Perform at least 5-6 sets of 12 each. The stretching will flex your muscles and also help you with overall toning. It strengthens your back and core muscles too.

At the gym Try a combination of several exercises at the gym today. Instead of focusing on a certain area of the body, work on the entire figure. Practice these gym exercises to get an hourglass figure.

Sleep well tip If you plan to wash your hair tomorrow morning, go for a nice champi or head massage right before you go to bed. It ll calm your instantly and provide a cooling effect. It helps induce better sleep too.
