Nutrition

Make sure you eat balanced meals everyday that include protein and healthy carbohydrates. Lean meats, chicken, fish, eggs, low fat cheese, low fat yogurt. Good carbohydrates include whole wheat bead, fruits, and vegetables, oatmeal ect. Try and eat 5 small meals a day which will help keep you full and therefore, decrease the chance of nighttime overeating.

No Excuse for Not Exercising in the Winter

We all know we like to sleep in when its cold out. Our motivation to workout is almost non-existent.
Instead of hitting the snooze button 2 or 3 times get up and start moving. If you do not have any exercise equipment in your home put on some music and dance or run up and down the stairs for 10 minutes. It will get your blood pumping and you will feel more energized to go out into the cold and start your day, plus you have just burned some calories.

After Holiday Weight Loss

If you have gained the usual 5 to 10 pounds during the holidays it is time to take the weight back off. I have seen to many people gain this weight and do not do anything about it. Start slowly reducing your calories daily and start lifting weights 2 to 3 times a wee,k as well as do some type of caridovascular exercise 4 to 5 times a week for at least 30 minutes. Within a month or two you will be back to your normal weight and feeling energized again.
