According
to experts in a recent study, drinking just 2 cups of
water, which is smaller than the size of a bottled soda,
before meals can help you lose an extra five pounds
yearly and will help maintain your weight loss.

It
is important to make time for yourself. I have been
taking organ lessons which I enjoy. I found myself
watching less tv while I have fun practicing playing a
new song. |

This
winter, walking when the weather's nice is a super-easy
way to keep fit. Even when she's short on time, go out
for a few minutes. Even a five minute walk is a five
minute walk. No sidewalks in your neighborhood? Try
these tips: •Park
your car at the back of the lot. •Get out of the
office building and enjoy walking meetings. •Shovel
the drive or rake the leaves instead of using a
snow-blower or leaf-blower. •Get off the bus a few
stops earlier. •Hike the mall, being sure to hit all
the levels. •Take the stairs every chance you get.
•Sign up for charity walks. •Crank the music and get
your heart rate up the next time you mop or vacuum.

Well,
I spent most of the first 10 days on vacation, including
a Caribbean cruise. Margaret and I had a great time.
Luckily, with all the walking and exploring we did, all
the great food on board didn’t hurt as much as it
could have had we not. |

Try
to include vegetables in your favorite dishes, such as
mushrooms, green and red peppers, and onions in your
spaghetti sauce. |

Make only one meal. Instead of making something high-cal for the family and low-cal for yourself, get everyone on the same healthy-eating page. Weight loss
is easier when everyone's eating the same thing -- and you're not tempted to taste someone else's
high-cal food. |

Be
patient! While it’s hard keeping a healthy diet and
maybe not seeing the results you hoped for on the scale,
hang in there. Your healthier choices and habits will
start to show, and then you’ll be happy you were
patient and persistent. It also may help to know that
keeping the weight off generally gets easier over time. Maintaining
that weight that you do lose takes less effort as time
goes on. |

Slow
and steady! Add veggies at each meal and snack and
reduce your carbs serving size. Keep working on protein
with each meal! |

Create a short term goal that you can accomplish - like working out 15 minutes, twice a week. Done! Then make it a bit tougher and challenge yourself knowing that you can accomplish anything! |

If
you keep healthy food close by, it can help prevent you
from eating something unhealthy. A few snack ideas to
keep in arms reach are whole fruits, a handful of nuts,
baby carrots, yogurt or a hardboiled egg (or two). |

Brush
or floss your teeth after dinner, then you won’t be as
tempted to have a late-night snack. |
