tip of the day

DAILY TIPS FOR SUCCESS 1. Make an effort not to multitask during meals. If you're working, reading or watching TV while you eat, you won't truly appreciate your food.

2. Every time you sit down for a meal, sit down. Chew slowly and pay attention to flavors and textures. You'll enjoy your food more and eat less.

3. Put half the usual amount of food on your plate. Try half a bagel, half a sandwich, or half a cup of rice instead of the entire cup. See if you feel satisfied eating less.

4. Brush your teeth after each meal and snack. The minty freshness will be a signal to your mouth—and your mind—that you've finished eating.

5. Walk an extra 1,000 steps during the day. Adding even a little more exercise can boost your weight loss. Walk over to a co-worker's cubicle or office, rather than e-mailing   What is a  tip you use to lose weight??

Post Easter sugar coma

Most of us end up with a sugar coma at holidays. We can easily get off track with our weight loss goals. Guess what, It's Monday and a new week. Here are a few steps to help you get back on track.
1. make sure any unhealthy left overs are out of the house. That's why trashcans and disposals were made.
2. Get back on track with exercise. Take time today to get in 30 or more minutes of exercises
3. DO NOT beat yourself up. Learn from mistakes and move forward. Living in the past doesn't help us and listening to the lies in your head that you will  never be skinny is just that..A LIE! You can do this.
4. Remember why you are you making this lifestyle change (get healthy,be active with your children? be a certain size?)
