1. Ignoring a morning cup of water
Drink a glass of water before getting a cup of coffee. Water aids in the maintenance of correct body balances (nutrients, temperature, food digestion). Your body will get a jump start if you drink a glass of water first thing in the morning. Furthermore, water fills your stomach, making you less prone to overeat.
2. Oversleeping
A man who goes to bed and wakes up early is healthy, affluent, and wise. While getting enough sleep is critical, getting too much sleep can be just as harmful. Sleep deprivation has been linked to diabetes and heart disease.
3. Skipping the scale
Keeping track of your measurements will help you stay motivated. Weigh yourself correctly first thing in the morning, after you've used the restroom, and while you're still in your underwear (if possible). You'll see patterns if you keep track of your weight every day.
4. Skipping breakfast
If you're skipping breakfast, you could be messing up your metabolism, according to Rush. Eating breakfast increases energy and stabilizes glucose levels. Breakfast also helps lower cortisol levels in the blood.
5. Checking email first thing
If the first thing you do is check an electronic device as soon as you open your eyes, you're setting yourself up for failure. If you get distracted by a work or social email, you could easily burn away the time you need to get breakfast or work in a few pushups.
