8 Tips To Living Healthy This Semester As Told By The Crew Of 'HIMYM'

It’s not easy to live a healthy lifestyle while at school. There are just too many temptations that could lead you through the front doors of a Burger King or Chipotle three days a week, and we all know that's not a good idea. And so, to make sure the unwanted pounds don’t find their way into your favorite pair of jeans, here are some helpful tips to stay happy and healthy during the semester:

1. Get yourself a workout buddy!

The best motivation is having a buddy that’s willing to hit the gym with you. Whether it's waking up early together for a morning workout or pushing each other to get some cardio in after class, having a friend to help you along the way is essential.

2. Healthy snacks are key!


Yes, healthy food is delicious! You didn't know? Well, veggies, fruit salad and popcorn are a great way to satisfy your taste buds and your conscience.

3. Elevator vs. Stairs

Stairs! Stairs! Stairs! I get it. The elevator is God’s gift to the dorm world, but really, the stairs are the perfect way to fit in some exercise when your schedule is a little too cramped to get a workout in.

4. Drink a lot of water!

A snack after class is always great, but food after 10 pm is NOT your friend. There’s a serious difference between hunger and boredom. Learn it because although Domino's at midnight sounds great, it will not help you reach your summer body goal. Instead drink some water! Drinking water will help to fill you up with no calories or regrets.

5. Avoid all fast food. I mean it.


Just don’t. Trust me, although it tastes great going down, you will not feel good after eating it.

6. Don't get discouraged!


It’s okay if you don’t lose weight one week! Don’t stress over it! Just because you didn’t lose weight on the scale doesn’t mean that you didn’t lose fat. There is a huge possibility that you lost five pounds of fat, but gained five pounds of muscle in return.

Go with how you feel, not with what the scale says! And so what if you only lost a pound? That’s awesome! One pound doesn’t sound like much, but one pound is also four sticks of butter! So guess what? You lost four sticks of butter, not “just one pound!” Keep going!

7. Cheat days are acceptable.

There will be days where a bacon cheeseburger is the only thing on your mind. Eat a bacon cheeseburger! It’s okay to cheat every once in a while. One bad meal will not ruin everything. Eat the cheeseburger, keep the mindset, and keep moving forward.

8. Stay with it!

You can do it! Just think, by the end of the semester you're going to look and feel great!

I promise if you follow these helpful tips, the outcome will be LEGEND...wait for it...DARY!

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
