KICK YOUR GUT GOODBYE!
You Choose, You have the Willpower
There is no such thing as sleeping off the pounds or taking a miracle pill that burns fat. Losing weight is about making the right choices, every single day, in a variety of different situations.
Last night I had to bake cookies for the boys' school, and I wanted to have one to try, but because I am in training for something that I want so bad, I decided against it. It helped that I had a bowl of cherry tomatoes and a glass of water hanging around. I would definitely tell anyone, if you are craving a cookie or a sweet, go ahead and have one, but because of my own goals, and discipline, I choose to not have one in this situation.
While travelling, I love to eat. I always bring a small cooler and fill it full crunchy vegetables, that way I can eat the whole trip and still have the fun of crunching on something, and not spending extra money on garbage.
After I go grocery shopping, I take most vegs, and fruit and cut it up and put it in bowls/containers in the fridge, so that when I need a quick fix, I open up the fridge and it is right there. I don't have to make time to make something or cut something up at that time. I also, have bowls of fruit throughout the house, in occassion that I feel like munching.
Fun Activities
A Few Ways to burn 100 Calories
-walking 2 miles in 30 minutes
-aerobics for 20 minutes
-dancing for 15 minutes (I dance all day long)
-run a mile in 10 minutes
-jump rope for 15 minutes (I don't have a skipping rope, so I just twist my wrists and jump like I do)
-clean the house for 30 minutes to an hour (I get a ton of exercise with three boys to clean up after)
-jumping jacks for 10 minutes ( my FAVE!)
