It might still feel like winter at your house, or maybe the mid-season blossoms of spring are just coming out in your backyard, but you are sweating like you're in 109 degree temperature on an isolated island off the east coast of Florida. Are you going to lose weight in time for summer this year?
Spring is actually a great time to lose weight! Not only does summer follow spring (which makes spring a great time to lose weight), but spring also provides opportunities for quick, healthy and fun (yes, I said fun) weight loss.
Here are six spring weight loss activities that are sure to get you going towards that summer weight goal.
1.) It's time to get that winter hum drum out of your system! Spring is here!
Be determined you are going to spend this spring season making yourself a better and healthier person. With a positive mindset and anticipation towards a better life ahead, you can rest assured you are well on your way towards being the person you want to be.
2.) Spring clean your digestive system like Monk cleans his house.
Even colonial folk drank Dandelion tea during Dandelion season (yep, the spring) to clean their... uh hum... 'human pipes' and get their (oh well, let's just say it) drainage going. Our bodies need to efficiently process and eliminate food as well, especially during this heightened period of physical activity and weight loss.
One of the cheapest and most natural ways of doing this is to drink plenty of water and purposely include fiber in your diet.
You might also try a glass of water with one to three teaspoons of organic apple cider vinegar along with some Spenda or Stevia a couple times a day, usually a few minutes before eating a meal. Apple cider vinegar has pectin which is a natural fiber. It has loads of vitamins and minerals too, by the way. If you decide to incorporate ACV into your spring routine, make sure you purchase organic apple cider vinegar with "With the Mother" marked on the outside of the label so you'll know you are getting the fiber and cleansing agents you need.
3.) Start (or vow to maintain) a good vitamin and mineral supplement routine this spring.
Did you know that missing some vitamins or minerals in your body can upset the balance of power in your fat regulating processes? Lacking some vitamins or minerals can also deregulate some of the hormones that affect your sleep as well. Researchers are discovering that people with too little sleep are actually gaining more and more weight!
If you are going to lose weight, you need to make sure your body's nutrients are in order!
4.) Now, let's get moving!
Spring is, perhaps, the best time of year to start or expand an exercise program. It's nice weather out there these days. Go out and enjoy it somehow! You'll work off some pounds doing so as well!
5.) Try new and healthier recipes this spring.
Use this season to start your own vegetable recipe notebook and then make some special trips to the farmer's market to try some new vegetables you have never had before. Make it fun!
6.) Get out and go, go, go baby!
Keep going to the mall each week, and keep looking at those clothes you want to get when summer arrives. Keep your spirits up when you go. Just remember, those attractive clothes are not that far out of reach if you keep up the good work you have started this spring! (Hey, and stay out of the cinnamon bun store when you go, at least for a while!)
Spring brings with it new beginnings and beautiful changes. With a determination and a willingness to spend this spring season honestly working towards the weight loss you need, you'll find yourself bursting forth with beauty as well as joy when summer arrives this year. Enjoy the spring this year. It's only the beginning of new and wonderful changes for you!
