Sometime in
1999, my nutritionist gave me a list of dietary programs to follow and from
like 120 pounds, I became 90 pounds. Very effective and well, to think that it’s
all about power, determination and control, I would say, a lot of effort and
work. I don't want to hear that pregnancy and motherhood alibi for being fat, I like to be sexy because that's what I like....I don't know about you but as for me...sexy is sexy, period....ala Hally Berry style. (Even when she was pregnant, she's still sexy my golly.) So pardon HBs photos scattered here, just like to share where I want to focus....a nice body shape for this lifetime..how about you?
Time flies
and now I am heavier so far in my lifetime. I am thinking of that crash diet or
maybe have that Bangkok pills. When you are not getting any younger, a lot of
teeny bitty things are happening in your body already and as for me with 5 feet
in height the 120 pounds, it’s worst as I ever imagine. Arthritis.
Christmas is
coming and as much as I want to divulge with Lechon and all kinds of puddings,
I want to control my food intake and I would like to start it now.
For the
program, I will try this list from Herbalife.
According
to Samantha Clayton, Herbalife’s director of worldwide fitness and education, it’s
all about minimizing impact. “No matter where you are on your personal wellness
journey, think twice before over-indulging during the next few weeks. My advice
is to, at the very least, try to break even and maintain your weight this
holiday season. It’s amazing how easy it is to gain weight in such a short
amount of time, and although weight gain is an easy as eating a few too many
pieces of pie, taking off those pounds come January is a much harder tasks.”
To
keep those calories from creeping on this holiday season, Herbalife is sharping
these top 10 tips:
Tip 1 – No savings:
Don’t
cut down or starve all day to enjoy the party at night. Skipping your breakfast
and lunch is a not a good way to avoid weight gain. There are many reasons why
this is a good tactic; a drop in sugar level, lack of energy and lack of
concentration are just a few of the down galls of the “starve and binge”
technique. Chances are, if you wait all day to enjoy the party food, you will
consume twice the amount because you will be so hungry.
Tip 2 – Snacks:
Have
a healthy protein rich snack before you head out to a holiday party. Filling
yourself up on healthy snacks that contain protein will keep you full and stop
you from having that extra cup cake.
Tip 3 – Move around:
Use
holiday parties as an opportunity to socialize with your friends. Keep walking
around and don’t park yourself next to chips and dips. Walking counts as
exercise so the more you move the better.
Tip 4 – Dance:
Let
loose and dance off the party calories; the extra bonus is that the more time
you spend dancing the less time you will spend eating.
Tip 5 – Routing:
Don’t
skip your work-outs. The best thing you can do is keep your exercise routine
intact. We all know holiday diets can go awry, but if you can at least keep
your workouts going it will help.
Tip 6 – Watch your drinks:
Try
to avoid drinking too many sweet drinks. It’s amazing how many calories can be
hiding in a simple holiday punch. Stay hydrated with water helps.
Tip 7 – Maximize your time with
quick fix workouts:
If
time is tight try to do a quick 10-minute routine in the morning and another 10
minutes before you go to bed. Simple exercises performed in an interval style
will help burn some calories and keep you toed over the holidays.
Tip 8 – Step away from the computer:
Sitting
in front of your computer screen looking for that bargain may cost you in the
long run. Stay active this holiday season by walking around the shops and
carrying bags or boxes doubles up as a workout.
Tip 9 – Make every minute count:
Think
active all holiday season. Take the stairs. Park in the furthest spot from the
store. Get outside and go for a walk. The more active you are the fewer points
you will gain.
Tip 10 – Routine:
Don’t
wait until January 1st to start you exercise plan, start today. The
sooner you get your body into a positive active and healthy routine the better
chance you have of reaching your personal health goals.
