Hello All,
Holidays can be a challenge with treats and adult beverages. Whether you are a fitness guru or trying to buy in to the "new standards", I will do my best to give you tips from time to time.
One thing not be be discouraged about is the weight fluctuations on the dreaded scale. The average person can fluctuate 1-7 lbs. daily; more on that in a bit. The best time to weigh yourself is right out of bed in the morning. that goes for tape measurements too. As the day progresses, skin loosens and weight increases.
I mentioned the daily roller coaster effect with weight...well, it's mostly water weight. Things to watch out for are salt content and hydration. The average person should not consume more than 2,200 mg of salt per day. Start looking at labels and tracking your intake. On the flip side, properly hydrating ( not beer and soda), actually helps shed water weight. I try and consume 1.5 gallons of H2O per day. Water flushes out salts and help shed extra lbs. Another excellent aid in H2O reduction is foods with high potassium ( bananas / spinach leaves).
Some of you my remember when I came to Seymour in 2006. If you were here you may remember I was quite a bit heavier...try 51 lbs. heaver. I will take you through that process and how easy it is to loose the love handles or your muffin top. More to follow!
If anyone has questions regarding fitness or diet, I am always here for you. Please feel free to call or e-mail...anytime. Bob
