Skipping Breakfast

When rushed for time and trying to cut calories, dieters often skip breakfast. Bad idea. Dieters who eat breakfast are more successful at taking weight off and keeping it off. Eating healthy foods and staying satisfied throughout the day will make holiday treats a little easier to pass up.

Holiday Weight Loss

I in the process of losing weight, and this time of year is awful. I don't crave sweets that much, but when there is a buffet of varitable sugary treats in front of me, it's like I can't keep away. My tricks: I am always ready to leave the room when willpower is weak. I plan on keeping fizzy water around as a beverage choice. I also have to tell myself that this stuff is readily available all year round, and I don't HAVE to eat it now - I could go buy it at a later date if I wanted it! (except for peppermint ice cream - my fav!) I also plan on adding extra workouts through the holiday. I usually take the weekends off, but I think I'll add a weekend workout or two, and try doing calastenics in the evening at home. It will be a tough couple of weeks!
