February 27, 2008

We are always looking for ways to burn MORE calories, aren’t we?   So here are a few easy, painless ways to accomplish that!

  1. Be a smart shopper, have a list ready when you go to the store so as to prevent impulse buying.
  2. Snack right.  Try eating a piece of hard candy.  It takes 20 minutes to et it versus  a few seconds on a cookie or and ice cream cone.
  3. Sleep for weight loss.  A woman’s metabolism rises 40 percent when she gets enough sleep.
  4. Do something motivating.  Like sticking up a picture of a cute outfit that you would love to wear.
  5. Drink water before each snack.  It is an appetite suppressant.
  6. Go for a walk.  Try to get out for 20 minutes a day outside or sit by a sunny window.  Sunlight helps to control food cravings.
  7. Always eat breakfast.  We need fuel for the day and you will feel less hungry.
  8. Rent or buy exercise videos.
  9. Buy a jump rope.  It is an outstanding exercise and gets your heartrate up quickly while contracting your abdominals in the process.
  10. Do yard work.  You can burn up to 500 calories in an hours working hard in the yard.
  11. Act silly.  You can dance around the house or slide around like a skater.  Do it for 10 minutes you will burn 150 calories.
  12. Brush your teeth.  The taste of mint can trick your taste buds.

Just try to find ways to slyly keep active and before you know it, you will notice the difference!!
