Blue Monday is upon us. Are you thinking “What the heck is blue Monday?” I never heard of that phrase either. Basically January 19th, is statistically the most depressing day of the year. This is because most people realize the holiday season is over and it’s only January. UGH! Warm weather isn’t coming for months and months. Yep, that is depressing. I agree.
This is the time of year alot of people gain weight. Today, I want to share some tips for avoiding the wintertime weight gain.
- Drink water or zero-calorie beverages. Ditch soda and sugary “sports drinks.” Most bottles are 16 ounces, and if you drink five bottles per day, that adds up to 100 calories!
- Cut the cheese from your sandwich. If you do this you can cut 100 calories fast.
- The bread basket at your fav restaurant is another place to cut calories fast. Stop at just one piece of bread or one dinner roll to help keep calories under control.
- Watch Out for Toppings, Dressings, and Dips. Salads can be full of hidden calories. Measure salad dressing (stay under two tablespoons) to cut calories. Or dip your fork into the dressing before each bite of salad (that’s what I do). And leave off the croutons! As for dips, try hummus instead of sour cream or cheesy options to top veggies.
- Schedule every workout
