One of my new year goals for the last couple of years has been to eat healthier and lose weight.

I tend to jump on board and do really well, and then somewhere along the lines, I fall off the wagon. Then I tend to repeat the cycle.

Now, I’m getting ready to start again and wanted to share my 5 must haves for weight loss.

Healthy Foods

– If I start my journey, I need to ensure I have healthy snacks in the house, on hand, ready to be eaten. I usually stock up on fruits, vegetables, cheeses and yogurts that can be quickly grabbed when I need a pick me up.

Good Tennis Shoes

– Right before the new year, I purchased a brand new pair of running shoes. I am not a runner, but these were the best shoes for what I needed – walking. My last pair gave me blisters and just were not conducive to walking long distances. These new shoes are perfect.

Pedometer

– I like to see how many steps I take in a day. Ideally, I shoot for 10,000 steps a day.

Calorie Tracking App

– I like using a calorie tracking app on my phone to give me a good idea of where I should be daily and to keep track of what I am eating daily. I find it helps and holds me accountable. (I personally like My Fitness Pal.)

Good Scale

– Such as the
.

The Ozeri Weightmaster II Bathroom scale displays your BMI, your current weight, and the weight lost between weigh ins. Additionally, it can average your weight for your last 3, 7 and 30 weigh-ins so you can track your weight loss journey.

Let’s be real, I can’t remember what day of the week it is half the time so remembering what I weighed one day to the next is definitely not something that sticks in this mommy brain! Having a scale remember for me is perfect for me to track my weight loss journey!

The Ozeri Weightmaster II Bathroom scale helps keep me accountable and helps me track my weight loss journey.
