Shake the Weight Before Bikini Weather...


It sneaks up on us…one day its doom and gloom weather outside and the next…summer is just around the corner. Summer meaning "bikini weather!"Why is it that we feel good about ourselves throughout the year until right about now and then we realize that within a few short months we’ll be in bathing suits and beachwear? What happens? Well, we start to feel a bit insecure with what we are wearing and how we look? Is this normal? Being a woman, YES, it is very normal because we all worry about this issue. We feel fat, flabby, or we feel jiggly and then we turn around and look at ourselves in the mirror (or worse, in a three way mirror) and see more rolls than Mr. Tootsie on our tummy and waistline, cottage cheese on our legs and tushy. Talk about feeling overwhelmed...Good news! You can turn those droopy, jiggly cottage cheese days around and look good and feel great soon!

Don’t like exercise? Neither do I, but you can lose weight in just a few months for summer without a gym or even heavy dieting. Its just a few short rules that apply and if you want to look sexy you need to pay attention here…and if you are eating something that isn’t good for you right now while you are reading this…PUT IT DOWN and WALK AWAY from it!
Follow these easy-to-implement weight loss tips to help you shed those last 10 pounds before summertime:
1. Get active. What does this mean? Olivia Newton John once sang ‘lets get physical’ and I mean that in an exercising kind of way. Don't have money for the gym? Don't need it. Go to Kmart, or Target or Walmart, or Toys 'R'Us and buy yourself a hula hoop! Nothing shakes the inches and pounds off better than the hoop and it's fun! Your new goal from here on out should be to develop healthy habits. By practicing these, not only do you can burn calories without being strapped to an elliptical machine or device of some sort rather you are choosing habits that are simple to maintain, enjoyable, and productive.
•   Take the dog for a nice walk rather than opening the door and letting him out into the yard. Its better for you. Instead of stopping at the coffee shop in your car every morning, wake up fifteen minutes earlier to jog there before getting ready for work. Or get on your treadmill and run for 15 minutes.
•   Pick activities that relate to your life.  Take the dog for a walk, jog to the coffee shop, or jump rope…When you feel dedicated, your efforts are less likely to stagnate. If you like to shop, park your car further away from the mall and take those extra added steps to get to the main door. If you live in a city such as NYC like my kids do, walking is pretty much the only way of life and you see many people in shape there because they have to walk and exercise is terrific for your body! Remember, be positive!
•   Don’t try to do it alone...Ask someone else to join in! When there are two, or more, it makes it more fun! Getting an easygoing workout partner(s) might not be as easy as you think, but then again, if their goals are the same as yours it might be an easier task and it is a great way to keep activity levels up. Grab a neighbor and walk to the park every day. I see women walking on my street together every morning and every evening. You'll be amazed at how much you enjoy it and you’ll be more excited to see just how many calories you'll burn!
2. Dine in or dine out by eating delicious summer time meals. Summery meals are characterized by being refreshing, simple, tasty, and healthy. Even though summer is only peeking through the clouds right now, try to adapt to a summery diet of fruit bowls, spinach salads, grilled salmon, vegetable kebabs and other fresh options. Say no to the starchy high cholesterol foods. You can choose to eat these at home or by going out. If you go out just be careful and pay attention to what the foods are made with. Ask someone if you don’t see it listed on the menu.
•   It's okay to crave foods of sugar. Hey, we all love the sweets and goodies, but some choices are better than others. It's best to feed your sweet tooth now in order to avoid a binge later. Sweet treats like watermelon, frozen yogurt and grape tomatoes all make for summery, healthy, and satisfying snacks with low, low calories.
•   Use the grill. I LOVE GRILLING! To grill it is much better than to fry it. If you must fry, spray your pan with PAM or some kind of no-stick spray with little or zero calories. If you're making a Chicken Caesar salad, grill the chicken rather than simply baking or cooking in a pan. This adds visual interest and a nice smoky taste. You can also grill almost any vegetables that are going into the salad. Throw on some seasoning like Mrs. Dash or anything that adds some zest to the meal and gives it a little kick!
•   Prep your meals in advance. Plan your meals out. Make a schedule/planner for a week in advance and purchase what you'll need for those meals, that way you'll be less likely to buy something 'bad for you' if you are tempted to go into the grocery store for something every day.You main dishes such as salads and fruits are easy to prepare ahead and store in an airtight container. If you desire meats…try marinating your meat and fish rather than cooking it ahead because it can lose its moisture once cooked.

3. Wear your swimwear 24/7. Yup, that’s right, you heard me. Use it as a constant reminder. Wearing your bikini or swim trunks underneath your clothing is a simple and effective way to motivate yourself to stick to any diet, fitness, and weight loss goals you've set. If that is a bit much for you… then simply just try it on every day.
•   If you're not seeing the results you want to see, you'll be motivated to work harder. Push yourself to the limits. However, if you are seeing results, you'll be encouraged to increase your efforts because you like what you see and want more of it!
•   If you're uncomfy wearing a bikini, like so many women today are…choose the next best thing. Wear your "thin" summer clothes. Or purchase your ideal summer outfit in a realistic target size. Use this outfit as inspiration. The goal is to fit into it comfortably by the start of summertime.
•   Window-shopping is my favorite thing to do and it is also a good motivator. Sure you can go out and shop for ideas of what you might want to wear to feel good and sexy….but if you wish to take that one step further, head to your favorite  website such as; Simply Delicious Lingerie or Simply Luscious Lingerie. Sexy starts underneath your clothes with fun intimate apparel that makes you feel confident about who you are! Then, fill your shopping cart with items that will look fabulous on your smoking hot summer body! If you feel amazing in them then your partner, lover, boyfriend or spouse will love them as well! You can pretend-spend as much as you want without shelling out a dime until you select what you think will make you shine like a rock star in beauty!
