Reality check in time ladies and gentlemen! It is two weeks until the new year and how are you doing? Are you being naughty or nice...to your body? Are you exercising regularly or telling yourself it is okay to take a break and start again in 2011? Are you eating a diet of mainly healthy, nutrient dense foods or are you overindulging in holiday sweets because Christmas comes only once a year?
If you find yourself on the naughty list, here are some tips to help you get through the next two weeks and when you turn the calendar to January 1, 2011 you can be proud that the numbers on your scale are not reading "help".
-Replace one meal a day with a green smoothie. Low in calories and the energy and health benefits are out of this world!
-Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate with water, water, water. Can't say enough about this - just do it now and thank me later.
-Experiment with raw, vegan foods. There are so many wonderful books, blogs and websites available to help you.
-EXERCISE everyday for at least 30 minutes. Do it for an hour a day and you'll be amazed at how great you feel in 2 weeks.
-Tempted by sweets? Imagine yourself on a beach or at a pool where you will most likely be in a few months on vacation.
-Try on warm weather clothes or better yet, your swimsuit. Do you like what you see? I hope so and let's keep it that way!
-If you do overindulge one day, detox the next day. Drink water, a green smoothie or two, and just like that, good as new!
Best of luck with your eating and exercise over the next two weeks! If the scale has already moved up a notch or two, don't fret just get back on track today.
