TIPS FROM SOME PERSONAL TRAINERS

Every once in awhile (and when I have some free time), I like to turn on NBC and watch the Biggest Loser TV show.  One week in the magazine called Parade, they had a great article with some awesome fitness and nutrition tips from each of the three trainers.  I would like to pass on some of these tips (or temptation busters) to share with each of you, because we (even me) need some helpful tips every once in awhile.  

1) Know your triggers (foods that you can resist).
2) Enlist support.
3) Make smart resolutions.
4) Keep track (journaling).
5) Have a smart snack stash.
6) Don't take weekends off (Work hard).
7) Don't skip meals.
8) Have three meals and two snacks every day.
9) Focus on quality, not quantity.

A GOOD QUOTE TO REMEMBER ~~~ "So many people believe skipping meals promotes weight loss. It's actually the other way around ---- it promotes weight gain."
