Put A Few Pounds On Over Winter?
I know I am not alone in saying I have put a extra 10-15 pounds on over the long winter season. If you’re like me and unfortunate enough to live in a frozen tundra during the winter season you’re probably in the same boat.
Get Ready For Spring Tune Up
Well the good news is spring and warm weather is just a few weeks away.There are a few things you can do to get ready so that you do not have to delay your outdoor activities once the warm weather gets here. One thing I am doing this weekend is getting my bicycle ready and tuned up. I know if I do not do this it will just be another excuse not to use it and it may sit idle till August LOL. Its hard enough to start you do not need any extra excuses.
Another thing you might want to do is reward yourself with some new workout clothes or a new pair of running-walking shoes to get you motivated and out there walking, running or jogging. Get your Ipod ready with your favorite tunes. Its important not to start off to fast as you probably will not keep it up. Slow and gradual is the way, far to many start off like a rocket and fizzle after a few weeks.
I am also planning on going on a diet to help work off a few pounds. I’m going to cut as much fat as I can out of my diet and reduce the amount of meat I am eating, specially red meat. Cutting my portion sizes of meat and increasing the amount of veggies I eat everyday. Many diet problems are caused by portion sizes of specific foods. I think pasta is okay but if you look on most peoples plates you will see pasta and a tiny speck of veggies on their plate, it probably should be the other way around. I believe pasta portions should be no bigger than the size of a small fist at best. I’ll update in a few weeks how my progress is going. Currently I’m at 190 pounds and see my perfect weight as between 175-180
