With spring break quickly approaching, everyone including myself is realizing that maybe we didn't get into the gym as much as we should've this semester and maybe we haven't made the best food choices as well. Here are 20 tips on how to try and get that last minute kick start to a spring break body while aiming to be the best and healthiest version of yourself.

1. Start out with a positive mindset. If you look at yourself positively, you're automatically going to feel better.

2. Eat a lot of green stuff, it helps.

3. Try to workout every day, it relieves stress and will release endorphins to boost your mood.

4. Stay away from fast food and soda.

5. Walk to class instead of drive, those hills are great for toning your butt and legs

6. Stay away from bad carbs (yes, I know this sucks and includes Chick-Fil-A). Brown rice is a healthy carb as long as you aren't eating mountains of it.

7. Don’t starve yourself, it won't get you anywhere

8. Don’t eat fruit after 2 p.m., your body doesn't have enough time to process all the sugars and will store them.

9. Eat a lot of chicken. Chicken chicken chicken.

10. Always eat breakfast, if you don't your body will think you're starving it and store everything you eat that day as fat.

11. If you’re going to drink, suck it up and order a vodka water.

12. You have to pick between carbs or alcohol, and if you're in college we know what that choice is going to be.

13. Cardio is your friend, not your enemy.

14. Love your body or you’ll never be satisfied.

15. Do ab exercises during commercial breaks while you're watching television.

16. Get a tan before spring break, everyone likes themselves better when they're bronzed.

17. Eat the dark green lettuce (spring mix, spinach, kale) because the iceberg may taste better but it's mostly water.

18. The more protein you eat, the fuller you’ll be throughout the day and you won't be as tempted to eat the fattening stuff.

19. Aim to be healthier, not only will you feel better, but the rest of the results will fall into place.

You aren’t going to turn into a super model overnight, so take this guide as a new mindset and try to make yourself healthier. Not everyone has a thigh gap, and not everyone can sit down and not have rolls form on their stomach. We are human, love yourself and strive to be the best version of yourself that you can be.
