Beach Workout for Fat Loss

I am currently in my hometown, Oceanside, California attending my 20 year reunion and visiting family. While on vacation it is easy to use it as an excuse NOT to continue with your fitness and health plans but it really is possible to stay on track.

I pack my sandbag shells and Jungle Gym in my suitcase so I could get a great workout no matter where I am.

Knowing I was staying with my sister-in-law who lives 3 blocks from the beach made it easy. I brought my sandbag shells and filled them up at the beach. I recorded my circuit I did that is excellent for fat loss. Read more

Ok, so you’re working your butt off. You’re sweating. You’re hustling. You’re getting that exercise “high.” Heck, not only are you now enjoying your workouts, but you want to learn more about how to make them more effective.

Merry Christmas!

Just want to say thank you to everyone who has followed me this year. It has been fun getting to know everyone. Quite a few of you have made awesome transformations.

I will have updates soon on a 12 Week Transformation Challenge. It will be a lot of fun. Make sure you are a member of FitHomeschoolMoms.ning.com so you get all the updates before it launches.

Before I log off the computer for the next 3 days, I want to wish you the Merriest Christmas ever. My family will be attending Christmas Eve service and spending the evening reflecting on the amazing sacrifice God made by coming to earth as a human baby. It is hard to fathom that God in his almighty power would choose to become a baby to a young girl and carpenter.

Again, Merry Christmas everyone. I will be back on Monday!

Hugs~~

Holiday Calorie Control Tip #3 (Last Day to Save)

So far we’ve talked about creating a PLAN to control your calorie intake during the holidays. And part of that plan was really watching your alcohol intake because it can lead to bad eating decisions.

Now let’s talk more about enjoyment. Yes, you CAN enjoy your favorite foods. But enjoy them by savoring them, not devouring them.

Chew your food slowly.

That might not seem it, but that is a BIG TIME tip.

Enjoy your favorites by taking your time eating them. That may mean finding a quiet space to eat when at a loud party. But it will be worth the little bit of extra effort.

And it’s going to take about 20 minutes for your stomach to signal your brain that you are full. So take your time. Enjoy every bite with zero guilt.

Again, this might seem too simple, but it’s not. It really can be this easy if you stay focused on your plan.

Also, remember that TONIGHT is the last day to save 15% on ALL of Prograde Nutrition’s awesome products. Their huge Holiday Sale ends at 11:59pm EST.

Holiday Calorie Control Tip #2

Yesterday we discussed how crucial it is for you to have a PLAN to control your calorie intake during the holidays. Today’s tip is even more simple and expands on the premise.

Plan on staying away from the booze.

Look, a drink or two isn’t going to be the end of the world. But when two turns to three…

I’m not getting on my soap box here. I’m just telling you something you already know:

Booze leads to bad decisions. And in this case, we’re talking about bad eating decisions. Read more
