New Year Resolution Check-in
Uh oh… It’s that time of the year again when we ask ourselves are we on track to reach our Summer weight loss goals. We are all too familiar with the saying “Summer bodies are made in the winter” and now we are heading into Spring. It’s that time of year where we are all thinking, I won’t be able to hide behind my winter coat much longer and then the panic begins to set in. Well, it doesn’t have to be that way, take a deep breath and remain focused.
Before you know it Summertime will be here and indulgence will be upon us yet again, so where do you want to be on your transformation journey. There’s still plenty of time for damage control if need be. First, let’s identify the sabotaging behavior and/or trigger points that derailed you in the first place. Secondly, let’s put into place your support system that will hold you accountable no matter what. Thirdly, ACTION, ACTION ACTION, the key to your success. I believe that a shift in one’s mindset and a sense of mental calmness is hugely attributed to a person’s success, no matter if it is in the workplace or your personal life.
With that being said, let’s March into Spring with positive affirmations and intention that will lead us into the Summer with the right tools to help us gain unmeasurable SUCCESS and a Healthy and Fit BODY.
Here are a few healthy eating strategies to keep in mind yearlong.
- Eat Before Going to a Party/Bring Your Own Food
Socializing is all about reconnecting with your friends and loved ones. So next time you’re invited to that after work spot for drinks and appetizers or dinner for two, we have a few tips for you.. Eat something before going to that party or dinner. It doesn’t have to be something heavy but something that can prevent you from stuffing your face all night. Another thing you can do instead of stuffing yourself is bringing your own food to the party. That way if you can make something healthier to eat, and if you have to indulge during the party you can eat what you prepared.
- Concentrate on your meal while you’re eating it
This one might be a little a harder if you’re at a social gathering but paying attention to what you’re eating helps prevent mindless eating. So take 30 minutes out of your day to just eat, with no distractions.
This is a tip that is important all year long. The saying “your eyes are bigger than your stomach” is an accurate representation of the way the majority of us eat. Most of us see a plate of any size and decide that we always need a full plate in front of us. This tempts us to try and eat the entire plate. Using an appetizer size plate, or eating in smaller portions could help with maintaining your weight and preventing unnecessary weight gain.
Now that you have some guidelines to help you navigate through the next soirée, have fun, be mindful and enjoy LIFE.
