Workout Procrastination

Thursday, June 11th, 2009

Exercise!  It is the one thing we can do everyday that will undeniably bring happiness, make us feel good and add years to our lives.  Yet everyone goes through the overwhelming urge to lay down on the couch, sit in the most comfortable chair in the room and give in to the urge to do nothing!  Try this…find a picture of yourself that makes you feel good about yourself – no matter how old it is. Hang that picture on your bathroom mirror.  Write GO FOR A WALK across the bottom of the picture.  Set your phone alarm to wake you up one hour earlier in the mornings.  I promise that after programming yourself to systematically get up one hour earlier every morning, look at that picture and read those words everyday – you WILL get moving!  Try it!

Hold the Mayo

A tablespoon of regular mayonnaise has almost 100 calories!!! Yikes! Use it wisely, or not at all.  Learn to love mustard.  It is packed with flavor and has ZERO calories!

Just Say No to Fast Food

Tuesday, May 12th, 2009

If you have to grab something quick, consider the supermarket for your fast food break.  You can pick up pre-cut and washed fresh fruit and vegetables, yogurt, or low-fat cheese. Many supermarkets also offer healthy prepared items in their deli.  If you can’t find the extra five minutes to stop at the market, when you go into that gas station, or quick trip store, look for fruit, whole wheat crackers, beef jerkey or something healthy!  It takes the same amount of time to eat healthy as it does to poison your system with junk food.

Stock your car with bottled water and healthy snacks.  Have a small snack before the cravings hit, and you will be less likely to pull into that drive-thru.
