jump rope for 5 minutes every morning, it burns 100 calories, bumps your metabolism for the whole day, and it helps prevent hip fractures lator in life.
My last weight loss I added pineapple to my diet. I would go through up to 5 pineapples a week, it really boosts your weight loss, and helps stabalize positive hormones in brain.
I focused in on negative calorie foods for my late night urges, cucomber slices, water mellon(great if your prone to bruises), celery strips, and lightly boiled carrots with 0 cal butter spray. Add a teaspoon of peanut butter, or a piece of cheese for protean to help keep yourself full. Most late night hungers are caused by lack of protean in the day.
I found the best way for myself to lose weight was to focus on slow movements throughout the whole day. I also stopped driving in the car to get to the stores in the area. If the grocery store is only a mile away, why do we drive? How much crap do we need in our homes? Get a book bag and foot it.
Walk away the pounds with lesly sansone was also really good for getting myself moving for an hour when I didn't want to think about moving.
The final thing for me was to get my tummy tight. I learned that it wasn't my tummy, but hip flexors that were out of shape. Toning my hip flexors got my tummy, and made the spot for the birdie to fly through between my thighs.
MY goodness, I can not wait to do it again...I hate being big..I'm a whale right now...The kid in me weighs over 7 pounds now.
Good job with the weight loss!
