Getting Back on the Wagon

If you are getting back on the wagon, you might as well have a great red one and a cuddly companion.


Okay, so one day into the Lent Season, and I've already failed miserably. Yesterday I didn't work out one bit (major pain day) and I didn't blog any tips or tricks. Today is a day for getting back on the wagon, so I fully intend to hit the gym (shortly after finishing this post) and of course, blogging 2 tips.  The original inspiration for the second challenge came from an article I read entitled “50 Ways to Lose 10 Pounds” by Joy Manning.  Some of the tips and tricks I really liked, so I thought I would share them.



1. Water, water, everywhere.
Research shows that persons who guzzle plenty of water lose more weight than those who don't. I also had a friend who drank nothing but water while trying to lose weight and she was able to lose over 70 pounds! Pretty good results for something so basic. It’s also pretty economical too J




2. Halve at it.
Divide your normal portion by two and save the rest for later. You are likely to feel full on less food than you think. I've tried to get into the habit of doing this all the time, but especially when I dine out. The portion size at most restaurants is so massive, that it’s almost a necessity to get a to-go box even before you order. I also like the idea of cooking once and eating twice, so this tip is just right for singles like me!
