Comfort Music Instead of Comfort Food

I find that listening to music during my workout makes it much easier to reach my exercising goal and often I even workout longer because of “Comfort Music”. I listen to music and songs that bring back pleasurable memories. I save my favorite for last and if I’ve listened to other songs that last for the duration of my scheduled workout( knowing that I still have my favorite songs take my mind off of the workout at hand) I zone out reminiscing on the favorites until they are done, I sometimes add 15 to 30 minutes.

Something That Might Work to Help You Lose Weight – Sensible Weight Loss

There are many fad diets that promise to help you lose weight but ultimately unless you alter your lifestyle and continue to use the diet plan forever your weight loss will be temporary and yes, as you’ve probably heard before you gain back more than you lost. So I adopted a plan I call burn your largest calorie meal – It’s a simple idea that can have great results. If your largest meal during the day is 600 calories your target would be to burn 600 or more calories while exercising – My exercise of choice is the elliptical so I’m not putting so much stress on my knees. This serves 2 purposes I exercise on a regular basis and when I eat during the day I pay more attention to how many calories I’m eating so I’ll eat smarter .

Healthy low calorie snacks – Keep them handy!

Just a quick note – I found myself getting hungry without a healthy nutritious snack available, so off to the vending machine I went, problem is the vending machine was out of the healthy snacks but did still have one of my favorites – a nice sweet cinnamon roll. The need for something to hold me over until lunch and the convenience got me. As I was eating the roll I was trying my best to just eat a small portion, Oh well my meal plan for the day was completely blown, I might as well have some cheese cake later (thinking and eating fat). It is so easy to get off track – remember getting back on track is important. Don’t let a slip up keep you from reaching and maintaining your weight goal-I’m not. I’m going to walk a little faster and longer for the next few days and make sure I have some healthy snacks at all times.
