Would you like to know how to lose 5 pounds after Thanksgiving? We all worry about our waistlines. Some of just think about what we can do about it, but some of us want to know what things we can do about it now. I want to be in the latter category, don't you? It makes you feel good that you are doing something positive for your health and your future.
At this point, Thanksgiving is over and whatever happened, happened. There is no taking it back. You may be extremely proud of how you handled the holiday and all the tempting foods. Or, you may be wishing you could go back and do it all over again with better choices. Whichever category you are in, you probably want to know how to lose 5 pounds after Thanksgiving because you know that all those Xmas holiday parties are right around the corner and you have to be able to handle them all.
Here are 3 strategies you can use:
1. Think Liquid. One of the biggest weight gainers over the Xmas holidays (that goes unnoticed) are all the decadent, fancy, unusual drinks. If you make up your mind, right now, that the only beverage you are going to drink for the next 30 days is water, you can save yourself anywhere from 900 to 5000 calories each week. Just one 8 oz. soda gives you 150 extra calories. Wouldn't 1 oz. of a specialty chocolate taste better? It is such a simple strategy, yet very effective. And so easy to implement, cause water is readily available everywhere and you do not have to feel uncomfortable by making a special request.
2. Think Movement. Make it your priority to get an hour of exercise in every day. Impossible you say? Not if you decide ahead of time and make it a priority. Here are some ideas to accomplish getting your exercise in:
a. Get up an hour earlier. I know. Not the easiest thing to do. But if you have a treadmill at home, you can be on your machine and giving instructions to the hubby and kids what to wear, what to have for breakfast, where to find the cereal, all while you are "fitting" it in. Because if you tell them you can help them after you get off in 35 minutes...my guess is they will help themselves rather than wait for you.
b. Shop online rather than spend hours of time in traffic, in check out lines, and frustrated with the crowds. I just purchased an Amazon gift card for my daughter in law for the first time. I figure that way she can pick out her own gifts and enjoy them more. That leaves me more time for the treadmill.
3.Think Services. For years you have been doing it all. Perhaps this is the year to change things up and have it done for you. Rather that have that holiday party at home, choose a catering service to do it for you and a cleaning service to come before and after the event. What a nice gift for you! And guess what: you can be on the treadmill while they are doing the cleaning for you. Now wouldn't that be the best tasting morsel of the season? There is no doubt in my mind you could lose 5 pounds after Thanksgiving by implementing any of these strategies.
You can implement any one of these, or all three in your quest to lose 5 pounds after Thanksgiving.
