Trying To Loose Weight – The Little Things Do Matter

You know my story – I am trying to loose weight and unfortunatley the lats few months haven’t been good.  Busier at work, plus an increase in after-work events that keep me at a computer for 3-5 additional hours is taking it’s toll on the bottom line – meaning, my waist.  So I’ve been doing what I can to minimize the damage and have been looking at the little things – you know, the things you figure will not make a difference but in fact they do:

• No sugar in my tea.  I drink 3-5 cups of decaf tea per day, and was adding 1-2tbsp of sugar.  Over the course of the week, that is a lot of sugar that is not needed.  It’s not adding anything, other than calories.
• No Timbits or donuts.  My kid loves donuts, and whenever we went out I’d get a craving and would buy a couple of Timbits (you know, donut holes) or a donut.  No more.
• No chocolate.  I don’t have a sweet tooth but occasionally will indulge.  I’ve stopped indulging.
• No junk food.  Chips are my weakness, but I’ve switched to popcorn WITHOUT the butter.

By themselves each indulgence may not seem like a lot – but over the course of a week, or a month they add up and could add 1-2 lbs to your body when you don’t really need to add but subtract!

Simple steps will help you loose weight and when combined with exercise, you will see noticible differences.
