Apple or Ice Cream

Apple or Ice Cream?

Summer time is right around the corner and I have 2 Dairy Queens within a 2 mile radius, no temptation there!!

Here are five steps you can use to lose weight in menopause and keep it off. Don't give up ladies, if nothing else I feel stronger:)

1. Make time to exercise daily. You don't have to run a marathon. Just 30 minutes daily walking or gardening or dancing. It doesn't even have to be at the same time -- add the times together for a total of 30 minutes.

2. Talk with a nutritionist or do a google search. You'll be amazed at the stuff in your refrigerator and cabinets that isn't good for you that can be swapped out for healthier choices.

3. Keep the soda and sweetened juices out of the house. Try water (seltzer) with a lemon or lime wedge. So refreshing! (I'm keeping the wine)

4. Keep fruit in a bowl in plain view. You'll be amazed at how it encourages snacking on them (and keep sweets out of view or better out of the house and use only as a treat).  Still working on the sweets things!!

5. Pick a partner to exercise or walk with and pick a time to do it. It will become part of your schedule and, therefore, much more likely to do.  Or go to the local Planet Fitness and chances are you will run into a lot of people you know already!

 Good Luck Peeps!
