Has The Christmas Turkey Got You Gaining A Few Pounds?

It's that time of year, when it is so easy to indulge in all the lovely food prepared by your mothers, aunts, sisters, friends and the like. Why is it that once a year we tend to really PIG OUT and eat about a zillion calories all in two to three days over the Christmas Period.

Then, when our skirts or jeans feel a little tight we moan about it, then make that fatale New Years Resolution to lose some weight! How many people out there will stick to a new exercise and eat healthy regime for longer than two weeks? The answer sadly is not many.

So how can you begin to lose those calories and inches succesfully without having to feel guilty about it?

First things first, YOU have to be mentally prepared to go the distance and aim to lose the weight goal you have put in place for yourself.

Secondly, who will make yhou accountable for your actions? If you get a weight loss buddy this will help you both to keep on trace.

Third, be prepared, it is when we are least prepared with our daily snacks and food that we tend to binge eat, or snack on the wrong things. If you plan your daily menu from breakfast, lunch and dinner with two healthy snacks in between, this is the first step to becoming succesful in losing those additional pounds.

Make sure the food you eat is one that you like, and does not have to be 'diet food', just eat sensible, and cut out junk food, cakes and biscuits and soda where possible.

Fourth, have an exercise regime, this could be a 30 minute walk at lunch time, or find an activity that you enjoy, such as salsa, pole dancing or otherwise. Going to the gym can be isolating and boring, and if you are not a self motivated person then you will be wasting a lot of money joining up.

More hints and tips coming your way so watch out for these in coming blog posts.
