Admit It. You Gained Weight

Halloween is over. But you still have that bowl of candy sitting there. I heard an interesting stat a while back stating that only about 33% of candy that people buy actually goes to trick or treaters. The other 67%? Well, I don’t think it takes a Ph.D to figure that out…Bottom line: save some of it for your kids, and throw the rest out.



Back around Labor Day I talked about how that time period was an essential time to get on a fat loss regiment (yes, I know there’s irony in me tell you that considering I was telling it to you at the time in a video while I was drinking a beer…). That from the time period between Labor day and the end of the year there were a lot of holidays, events, etc., that no matter what, involves eating lots of food, and more than likely, drinking alcohol. It’s a time period where you could, when January 1st hits, be 10-15 pounds heavier than you were at Labor day.

So how did that work out for you? Go ahead. Get on the scale. How does it look compared to Labor day? If you didn’t take my advice and start some sort of fat loss workout and diet, then you put on some weight.

The bad news is you gained that weight, only after one holiday involving parties, candy, alcohol, and more candy. You’ve still got 3 big ones to go: Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years, where you could easily put on another 10 pounds between those holidays.

The good news is that you’ve got some time to go between now and Thanksgiving. About three weeks.

How about you set a goal for yourself to lose a certain amount of weight between now and then? Let’s say, 5 pounds. That’s only about 1 ½ - 2 pounds a week.

The best way to do that? Well, I hate to make this simple but, eat less food.

But that’s probably not very helpful. So here’s a few guidelines.

Make a list of the foods that you can’t live without.

The problem with dieting is that people think that they need to deprive themselves of the foods that they love…forever. That’s just not true. You can still eat the foods that you enjoy, just try to eat less of it.

Need that bar of chocolate every day? Go ahead and eat it, BUT how about just eating half of it and eating the other half the next day?

You NEED pizza once a week. That’s fine. But instead of having 4 pieces, how about eating only 2?

And sugary drinks. You need a Mountain Dew in the morning to wake yourself up and another one in the afternoon to keep you awake. How about giving up one of those and having a hot cup of green tea in place of the other one (there’s caffeine in that so you’ll still get some kick from it..)?

Now make a list of the foods that you enjoy but, you could see yourself doing without. Take that list, and avoid that food until at least Thanksgiving. Now, don’t try and lie to yourself and say “Oh, alright…I’ll give up the veggies, fruits, whole grains, etc…..I can suffer through not eating those foods for a few weeks” when you very well know that you’re not eating those right now anyway! They have to be foods that you are actually eating on a regular basis.

Now, let’s get some exercise in here. You’ve got workouts that you can do, and you can do them for free if you go to my YouTube Channel at this link. There’s beginner, intermediate and advanced workouts in there so anyone can do these and most of those workouts that I’ve got in there won’t take you more than 30 minutes to get through (and most of them are much shorter than that) AND you can do them in your own home with barely any exercise equipment. How about you go through three of those a week? You’re talking a maximum of 90 minutes over the course of a week in exercise. You can do that, don’t you think?

If you want to take it a step further, go ahead and order the 30-minute workout for $4.95 today for either a bulk of eight months worth of workouts or get the most up–to-date workout this month along with a Fat Loss Nutritional Guide. It’s your choice and it’ll only cost you $4.95 to try it out.

Think about that. For less than the cost of a pizza, you could get a workout all written up for you that you can do over the next 3 weeks to drop 5 pounds before Thanksgiving. Then you can sit down, eat a big meal that day, have some wine, and not worry about putting on a ton of weight because, you’re ahead of the game.

Go ahead and order now and start that New Years resolution two months before the New Year.
