How To Ramp Up Your Weight Loss Efforts
If you are looking to add a little extra get up to your
weight loss efforts, then you have to think creatively. Weight loss is a way of
life, and it means that you actually keep the weight off afterwards too through
lifestyle changes that you make. So let me tell you about some things I've been
doing lately to help my efforts when trying to lose weight.
I really focus on my exercise plan. There are two things
here that I make sure that I do. First, I make sure that I commit myself to
each workout and do not miss any of them. In order to do this, I switch up
activities often, and I find people to work out with. This keeps me inspired
and motivated. Second, I do things outside of my exercise regimen that find me
getting that extra activity in each day. For instance, I take a walk after
dinner with my husband. Now, this is enjoyable and our alone time, but it's
also exercise as well. Another example is when I take the stairs when coming
back to my condo. I live on the 7th floor, and that gives me a little extra
workout a few times each day. I actually enjoy it because I know I am working
towards my weight loss goals.
You see, it's very important that you make those little
decisions that can aid in your weight loss. Each small decision builds on
another, and this means when it comes to the activities you do, the foods you
eat, and just about everything you can dream up. If you really think about it,
there are so many opportunities to impact your weight loss in a positive way
each day.
I also like to do a little juicing. My favorite breakfast
used to be biscuits and gravy. Sure I have the less fat option of this
breakfast from time to time, but I have to really think about what I'm eating.
I have really gotten into juicing for breakfast. I can have a delicious
smoothie that provides me with all the nutrients I need to jump start my day.
One of the worst things you can do when trying to lose
weight is to eat too late in the day. It's worse than skipping breakfast. I
found myself a few times eating too late at night, and it felt like it took
days to get myself back on track. You see, your digestion doesn't get a chance
to do its thing properly.
One other thing I like to do is to enjoy cooking. Sure, I
don't have the time sometimes, but I sure do like to try. For instance, I'll
look up recipes online that provide a way to eat my favorite foods with less
calories and fat. You think I'm going to go without eating chocolate I make my
chocolate recipes, and I find ways to eat just about everything I like from
time to time.
