Lose Weight In Time For Christmas
By Janice Tham
How much weight did you put on from the Thanksgiving dinner?
How much more have you gained from eating the left overs?
Soon after the Thanksgiving feast come all the Christmas
parties and year end parties. You know those parties where
everyone is dressed to kill and you get to wear fabulous party
dresses... only that, they may no longer fit.
Whoever planned the holiday calendar must have had a sadistic
streak. First, have a feast where you end up pigging out. Then,
with all those extra pounds, squeeze into your party dresses for
one party after another. Maybe in those days, fat was considered
beautiful.
Would you fit into your party dresses? Will your belly bulge be
more prominent. Tune in to.. whatever.
There is still time to lose weight in time for Christmas
parties. How much you lose depends really on how motivated you
are to lose weight. You must want to do it for yourself, not for
someone else. It involves lots of discipline as you have to
stick to an exercise schedule and watch what and how much you
eat. Sure, there are quick fixes like pills and surgery, but the
old fashion way, through diet and exercise is the healthiest way
to go.
There is no need to starve yourself to get into that dress.
Okay, your stomach may growl if you cut down your food intake,
but there is no need to eat until like 100% full. Do like the
French women. Eat until you are 80% full, then stop.
Control your food portion. Substitute junk food with healthy,
yet tasty alternatives. Grill your food instead of deep frying.
Eat fruit instead of candy. Frozen milk or yogurt instead of ice
cream. A small scoop of vanilla ice cream is an okay treat a few
times a week but hold the hot fudge, peanuts and other
trimmings. Dress it with fresh fruit instead.
Remove the skin from the chicken before you eat it and eat
chicken breast meat, or better yet, turkey breast. Eat lots of
white fish.
Skip soft drinks or sweetened drinks in favour of water.
Get a calorie counter and a food diary. Record everything you
eat and compute how many calories you consume each day. Make it
a point to reduce the calories every way you can through food
subsitutions and by watching your portion size.
When you party, go for sushi. Avoid the creamy ones though.
Drink water instead of punch. Limit alcohol to a glass of the
best wine you can get or a glass of the best champagne as
alcohol is very high in calories.
Besides reducing your calorie intake, set aside 45 minutes
everyday to exercise.
Go for a jog. Put on your sweats and run around the block.
Live in an apartment? Climb the stairs. Just go all the way up
to the top of the building and down again, until the 45 minutes
are up.
Hit the gym every day and workout for at least 45 minutes each
time. Or get yourself a treadmill and set aside 45 minutes a day
to run.
If that is beyond your budget, get a skipping rope and jump
rope for 45 minutes. Get a hoola hoop to vary that with your
skipping. Do jumping jacks as well.
Or invest in a workout video. There are so many available. Pick
one that interests you or a few you can rotate to keep your
workout from becoming boring.
Stick to this everyday and you should get in shape in time for
Christmas
