Enjoy a healthy breakfast
If you skip breakfast you are putting your metabolism on hold. It WILL NOT work if you have don't fuel the furnace. Eat something in the morning even if it's 200 calories, high in protein or even a fruit to get things moving. You cannot loose any weight if you slow down your metabolism.
Make sure to cross train, mix up your aerobics.
Using different muscle groups will shock not only your heart a little bit but keep your program from getting boring. Add a class that's fun like spinning, step, yoga, Pilates or even Zumba. Make your workout something you can look forward to and you will have fun as well as get closer to reaching your fitness goals.
Start your dinner with a large salad
Wait 10 minutes before sitting down to your main meal. This will allow your system time to digest the salad and you will eat less of the main course and heavy carb side dishes. Don't forget to use a light dressing, too.
Get active everyday!
One hour a day doing some physical activity, such as walking, snowshoeing, cycling or running will increase your metabolism. Get rid of your cabin fever and get outside! You will have more energy and be more productive throughout the day
If you get sick, don't get discouraged
Even if you are recovering from a virus or flu and you feel that you have lost ground, don't despair. Increase you intake of Vitamins C and D to boost your immune system. Give yourself a good week to regain your energy. Then, restart your workout.
Feed the furnace all day long
Eat small meals or snacks five times a day. For each snack, target about 100 calories with high protein, low fat and low sugar. Try low-sugar (<8 grams) protein bars, low-fat Mozzarella cheese sticks, a teaspoon of peanut butter with unsalted crackers or rice cakes, low-fat yogurt topped with Fiber One cereal for crunch or 2 cups of low-fat microwave popcorn. Remember to keep wood in your furnace to keep your metabolic fires burning all day and all night.
