Happy Memorial Day!


Think before you eat it –
cos if you don’t, you’ll be wearing it by next week.”

    Memorial Day signals the unofficial beginning of summer and you know what that means . . . parties, picnics, festivals, graduations, weddings, you name it – we celebrate with food and drink – and this time of year’s no exception.

    If you’re still struggling with your weight, and who isn’t, you’re gonna wanna stick to your diet as best you can this holiday weekend.

    And if you’re not struggling – you’re surely going to want to maintain what you’ve lost . . . right?

    I’m not telling you not to have fun, but fun doesn’t always have to revolve around eating yourself sick. Does it?

    Celebrate Memorial Day this year by eating healthier – stay away from all the white starch and sugar carbs that make you fat. You know the drill by now . . . cos if you don’t, visit my website and blog and read up.

    Politely pass on the potato salad and Aunt Billie’s baked beans. Skip the bread, buns, rolls and chips – you know, those sugar-spiking empty carbs we all love – but are so bad for us.

    Eat your main protein with a fork and knife, skipping the usual white stuff.  Instead, add in tons of green salad - saving your extra carb count for more important fare like all those unbelievably scrumptious, home-made-with-love, divinely decadent desserts!

    And beware of high glycemic fruits and veggies, while you’re at it. Watermelon, pineapple, potatoes, corn (yes, on the cob), and the like, cos they will sabotage your diet if you’re highly carb sensitive like I am, and struggle with your weight.

    “Eating healthy,” means a whole different thing to you and I than it does to someone on Weight Watchers or other diets.

    Be sure to get your butt up and move this Memorial Day weekend. Take extra walks with your family, friends and the dogs. Toss some horseshoes, beanbags and Bocce balls. Keep moving as much as you can.

    The more you move, the less you’ll overeat. Trust me.

    Learn from those who have gone before you and had terrific weight loss and wellness success: you have to be determined to stick to your new, healthy eating plan no matter what.

    Otherwise, you’ll quickly backslide, your weight will escalate, and the scale will reflect it – right on your face, belly, butt, hips and thighs . . .

    Aren’t you sick of living on this yo-yo yet?

    Eat and move like your life depends on it – cos it really does.

   Come next week, you’ll be glad you’re not wearing everything you ate over the weekend!
