There are no short cuts when it comes to getting in shape.  Once you make the choice to dive into a healthier lifestyle there is a certain amount of time and discipline involved.  Here is a list of healthier options that require little on no extra time.

1. • Park in the farthest spot from the door

1. • Get lots of rest (Try to go to bed and get up and the same time everyday.)
   

1. • Consider whether you're really hungry.
   

1. • Wait 10 minutes before going back for seconds
   

1. • Switch to crunchy vegetables for you between meal snacks (Celery and cucumbers can help with hunger while adding zero calories to your daily consumption totals)
