WEIGHT LOSS DIET

Workout Plans

You are gaining too much weight and looking like the Pillsbury dough boy. You find that the answer to your weight problem is to work out. But you do not have time. What should you do?

The following is a list of eight (8) ways to make time for yourself so that you can work out.

1- Trim down your task list. Trying to do too many things at once is a spot-on way to prevent you from achieving your weight loss goals. Instead of tackling too many tasks in one day, target only five key items that you need to accomplish. Fit your task list on a large Post-it note. Whatever does not fit goes on the next day.

2- Maximize your time on weekends. Concentrate on working out on both days of the weekend when your schedule is more flexible. For instance, shoot for 30 minutes of a fun outdoor activity such as mountain biking or rollerblading every day. Then, try to sneak in one or two workouts during the week.

3- Quit talking on the phone. With cell phone contracts having unlimited minutes come unlimited opportunities to catch up with old high school chums. Those long hours of talk time can absorb your valuable time from your day that could be better spent sweating off the pounds. If you still can not keep yourself away from the phone, bring it with you when you walk around the block in your neighborhood.

4-Order takeout food. Dinner time can also eat up valuable time for many people. Order takeout food one night a week. Just do not indulge in junk food such as burgers and fries. Order vegetable pizza, bean burritos, or turkey sandwiches.
