I've been super busy and I know I promised to post more often, but that hasn't been happening. You may have gained a few or have lost and are STUCK!!!! That 5 lb monkey is just hanging on your back! I know so well how wonderful it feels to loose your first five or how dreadful it feels to hang on to the last five. I'm actually going through "the last 5 phase" myself.
Here are three things you can do to reduce that number, it may not knock off all five if you don't have problems in these areas, but if you do you have hit the magic 5 JACKPOT!
#1 Lay off the BOOZE
~Alcohol can add up to 10lbs in two months. The recommended amount of alcohol a week is 1-2 4oz glasses a week. If you ease up on alcohol your waist and liver will thank you.
#2 Eat MORE!
~Most people do not get in 5 to 6 small meals a day. Eat more to increase your metabolism. The higher your metabolism the more calories you burn. Remember now make those meals count so eliminate that fast food!
#3 Drink MORE!
~I know most people do not take their body weight and divide it in half. Well that is how many ounces of water we are suppose to take in per day. If not you can hold on to 2-5 pounds of fluid because your body believes it is being deprived of H2O so it is saving it.
