Healthy Habits - It starts with keeping in mind what you eat, when you eat, and I even add in, how much you eat. I’ve learned that if I’m going to go out late to grab a bite, I’ll have something very small and really light. Be smart about it and grab a shake or a smoothie. There are other smart ways that you can cap off a nice date or an outing. You don’t always have to shovel a four-course entrée down your throat.

Lamman's Don'ts - I eat a lot of fruits and nuts. I love trail mix, raisins and almonds. I drink very little soda, if any. I don’t smoke or drink coffee. I don’t really drink alcohol, either. I have an occasional glass of wine.

Be Mindful - You have to remember that everything you put in your system doesn’t immediately disappear. It either sits in your body somewhere until your body flushes it out, or you burn it off. If not, it just gets stored in certain places and most foods turn into sugars or fatty deposits.

Eat More - My philosophy is to do a lot of a little. I’m always getting teased, because I’m always eating. Every two to three hours I’m nibbling on something. You’re only giving your body what it needs when it’s telling you, ‘Hey, I need a little something.’ As opposed to waiting 4 – 6 hours and gorging yourself.

Rise & Grind - I’m not a gym rat; I don’t have the time to live in the gym. I’m also lucky enough to not have to as much. I’m also a former athlete. A lot of times I’ll roll out of the bed and knock out 40 – 50 push-ups right there on the floor. I also do crunches, and normally I do them both right before I go to bed and when I wake up.

Stretch It Out - Exercise aligns your body, but I also stretch. Even if I don’t do anything very active, I stretch and allow my body to breathe.

Silent Retreat - Your body, as an organism, needs more than just food, water, sleep, touch and exercise. Sometimes your body just needs to be left alone. It needs to just rest. It needs fresh air. People spend too much time inside and under heat and air conditioning. Let your body get outside and let it breathe.

Take the Stairs - I know people that live on the third floor of their building and they take the elevator. It blows my mind. If you’re not on floor five or higher, you should be taking the stairs.
