New Body Under Construction

Posted by Tammy

Why is it that it’s not hard to put on the weight, but it’s hard to get it off?  Before my wedding, I lost 13 pounds because I was on a #skinnybride mission.  Well one month later, I’ve put back 8 of those 13 pounds.  Honeymoon in Bora Bora, holiday festivities and lack of self-control all added to the weight being put back on.  Oh, and not being faithful to my skinny wraps and supplements.  It’s my own fault, I know that!  I'm so mad at myself because I worked so hard to lose it, and then BAM, I put it back on.   It got me thinking, what are some simple changes that I can make to help me get back on track.  We all love lists, right?  So here is my list of small changes I will be making to get that weight back off!

1.     Cut out two morning Dr Pepper’s a week and substitute with an extra serving of Greens! – I’m being realistic here, I know I can’t cut them out completely

2.     Park in the farthest parking spot at the store instead of the closest

3.     One glass of wine or beer with dinner instead of two or three (or sometimes more)

4.     Drink water. Period.

5.     Substitute real butter for “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter”

6.     Eat breakfast

7.     Grab a smaller plate to control portion size

8.     Plan meals in advance.  Plan 4-5 weekly meals on Sunday for the upcoming week

9.     Mustard instead of mayo on sandwiches and burgers

10.  Make a daily supplement schedule and add reminder alarms in my phone

What are things you would add to the list?
