Getting through your meals without affecting your diet!

Low calorie treats, buying a pedometer, carrying a notebook, finding a weight loss buddy, and watching one hour less of television: these are a few among many weight loss ideas that are constantly publicized.  However, many of times it is less important to go to extreme rates to loose weight, but to be practical and remember a few helpful hints. Various tasks can be done throughout breakfast lunch and dinner in order to reduce fat, carbohydrates, and other unhealthy regiments in your diet:

Breakfast: Use fat-free creamer in your coffee, even though on average not much is typically used in a cup, a little bit can go a long way. Dress up your breakfast with an omelet.  In no way does it have to be plain- use egg substitutes, nonfat mozzarella cheese, diced tomato, oregano, and fat-free ham.  Dressing up your breakfast does not entail having to move up a few sizes.

Lunch:  Sandwiches are a typical, everyday common lunch.  Wraps with turkey, fat-free mayo, tomatoes, peppers, and onions make for an appetizing meal.  If you want to go the extra mile use a piece of lettuce to stuff instead of a wrap, eliminating carbs!

Dinner: Chicken is a great meat to work with.  It is basically a blank canvas ,and you can go any direction with it. Adding fat-free marinara sauce and fat-free mozzarella to the chicken, and steamed vegetables, and a salad to the plate last for a fulfilling meal.

These are all simple tasks that can be done for the three major meals.  A little bit can go a long way, so instead of sprinting the extra mile to loose weight, think first of what is practical with your life style.

Good Luck,

Getting Ready for the Beach

In practically no time at all it is going to be beach season. That means you will want to be in the best shape you can be in order to feel the best you can at the beach! We all want people to walk by us and think that person looks great! As the saying goes looking good is feeling good! When looking for an exercise routine to help you get your body into the shape that you want make sure to pick the right exercise plan. You have to work at your own level and pace, making sure to push yourself in the process. Do not worry yourself with other people and the position they are in.

So if you are new to the exercise game make sure to start slow. Take trips to your local high school, and walk laps around the track.  If you have a pet dog make sure to take the dog for a walk.  After work and school take the kids to the playground play active games with them like baseball, basketball, football, tag, kickball, riding bikes etc. The important thing here is that you remain active. After you feel a little more in shape and you think that you are ready for it turn that walk into a run around the track, turn walking the dog into running the dog, and keep those kids active by showing the speed and quickness you’ve put on in games like tag!  Take your biking skills to a local trail. Start going on bike rides a few times a week for 5 miles or so.

Remember the important thing is that you stay active. Get out from behind the computer desk, or from lounging about in front of the TV after work. Not only will you feel better the more active you are, but you will feel more confident as well.

Get out there be active! Burn those calories and in no time at all you’ll have the beach body to match you spirits during beach season. Good luck and remember to utilize the 15/150 Secret to Simple Dieting as the diet to go along with your new active lifestyle

Shake the cobwebs off

Step outside and take a deep breath, the air feels warmer, the sky a little more bluer, and the birds are beginning to sing. Spring has sprung, the days are longer and there are so many more activities that we can take part in outside to help us stay on track with our Healthier Lifestyle!  The realm of possibilities seems endless.  On those beautiful Spring days this year make an effort to break out of your winter hibernation and get active!

Here is a list of some of the fun, exciting things to add to your to-do list this Spring!

1. Jump off that treadmill and head outside for a nice walk or run.  Find your running partner or bring your pet out for a cruise!
2. Find a local trail and spend the day hiking, maybe have a little picnic. There are so many great nature scenes across the country and can be a fun-filled day hiking to see our country’s nature side!
3. Take your children out from in front of those TV sets and head out to the park.  Heck, bring back your childhood days and show your children how much fun it is to get involved in a fun game of tag or hide and seek.
4. Sports!  There are so many fun sports you can now play outside.  Whether it’s having a catch to get ready for the baseball season or heading to the basketball courts to play P.I.G. create a great bonding experience.
5. Make plans to try something new like rock climbing, or bocce ball.
6. Give your bike a tune-up and take it out for a cruise.
7. Gather a group of your friends and get involved with some local intramural activities/sports for adults or just simply organize your own games.

The Springtime is a beautiful time of the year, and a great time to start living a healthier lifestyle. During the winter months we can all find it hard to be motivated to start a diet or to begin a new exercise routine and stick with it. Don’t let the bad habits of curling up on the couch and watching TV on those cold days and nights get the way of enjoying these beautiful days to come.  Shake the cobwebs off.

Getting yourself outside and leading a more active lifestyle will help give you a more positive outlook on life.  You will have more energy then you’ve ever had before. And your social life with friends and family will be stronger than ever. So this Spring make it a priority to get involved, get active, and try something new.  Don’t let the lazy habits of winter stop you from becoming a better you.  Break the cycle! Don’t wait one minute longer, start that diet you’ve been meaning to and start your new active healthy lifestyle. Have fun with it!

Happy Spring!
