Little Black Dress Diet
OK, here’s the problem. You had a little too much turkey during the holidays, or maybe the dessert table was just a wee bit too close to your plate. Whatever the case may be, you have put on some weight. Now, you are dreading the New Year’s party you were invited to. No sweat! There are several things you can do to have your body ready for your little black dress in no time.
When you start your new diet, start with detoxifying your body. This means drinking water like you are dying of thirst. It helps cleanse the yuck from your system, and that’s a great way to start your journey to a cleaner, healthier and thinner you. The flavored water is a good choice, because people crave flavor. Nothing bland, please!
Start walking! Walk everywhere. Mail box, store, or even just around town helps get your blood pumping and kicks your metabolism in gear. And don’t just mosey. Really get your body moving. It helps to envision yourself in that fabulous dress on December 31st, with your waist bulging out at the seams. Not a pretty picture, right? So let’s get going!
Add more fruits and vegetables to your diet. Fiber is essential for keeping things moving, if you know what I mean. Having a salad for lunch and drinking your water will help you drop weight. And a little secret: Carbonated beverages will keep weight on you. Not sure exactly why, but it has been proven to do so. So keep your water non carbonated, and be on the safe side.
Start a new exercise routine. The same old same old will get boring and then you won’t want to keep working out. Find a partner to work out with you, or change your entire routine. Maybe some new music will spice it up enough to make it more interesting. Jazz up your exercises with some moves that are designed to work your core muscles. Dancing is great for this, and is way fun! Even if you are dancing alone, you can make it a great time and drop weight like crazy.
Keeping alcohol consumption to a minimum is important. Alcohol will make you gain weight, and can keep weight on you, so wait until New Year’s Eve to have that cocktail you want so desperately. After you shimmy into your little black dress for the party, then you can let your guard down and have a few drinks. But as always, drink responsibly.
Losing a few pounds isn’t all that hard to do. Losing a lot of weight can be a daunting task, but it can be done. As long as you stay positive and keep working on it, you will be ready for your party in no time! Don’t give up. Weight is not just something to gain or lose. It also needs to be maintained. When you reach the goal you have set for yourself, keep your healthy habits going. Then you can keep your weight pretty much at a constant, and won’t have to worry about the little black dress next time.
