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. |

Even
though I have had a slight set-back I am going to keep
forging ahead with a renewed emphasis on exercising for
at least 3 times a week for 30 minutes. |

One
of the easiest ways to cut back without feeling denied
is to switch to lower-calorie versions of the foods you
crave. A pizza tastes just as good with reduced-fat
cheese, and when you garnish low-fat ice cream with your
favorite toppers, who notices those missing calories? |

Spending time with family and friends who are as motivated to exercise as I want to be keeps me moving ... Plus I got congrats from my doctor this week |

Eating
healthy is my new hobby. It involves finding new
recipes, shopping, and cooking in a way that focuses on
less salt, sugar, leaner meats, and more fruits,
vegetables and whole grains. |

When
eating out, so many meals are too much for one person,
why not try sharing. A couple can split an entrée, or
dessert. In groups, get a couple things and everyone can
try a bit. You will not feel stuffed, and you will save
some money. |

Spicy
foods like Cayenne pepper contain Capsaicin, a compound
that can boost metabolism and reduce your appetite. |

Eating
whole eggs can have all sorts of benefits, including
helping you lose weight. Studies show that replacing a
grain-based breakfast with eggs can help you eat fewer
calories for the next 36 hours, and lose more weight and
more body fat. If you can’t eat eggs for some reason,
then that’s fine... Any source of quality protein for
breakfast should do the trick. |

Try
adding foods to your diet instead of subtracting them.
Add in healthy foods you love, like cherries, grapes, or
snow peas. Add your favorite fruit into your lunch and
breakfast cereal; add the veggies into soups, stews, and
sauces. |

In
addition to eating better, to get to your goals quicker,
try some of these... With the warmer weather, do more
stuff outside. Go for a walk, or hang out friends, kids,
grandkids who are active. Try dancing to the music when
you tune into your favorite music show on TV or the
radio. During commercials pedal your stationery bike,
walk the treadmill, or slip in a little strength
training doing bicep curls with cans of your favorite
fizzy beverage as weights. It doesn't matter exactly
what you do, so long as you're up and active. Aim for at
least 15 minutes, but who knows? If you get really
engrossed, you just might just want to do it longer and
longer
