End of Summer and Weight

We are rapidly approaching Labor Day weekend which in our minds signals the end of summer. The start of school brings lots of extra activities if you have children of that age. After school activities, practices, homework etc. add much to the daily calender of parents. Especially for those parents who work outside the house as well, the day then becomes incredibly packed with issues to take care of. The stresses of work followed by the after work children issues allow for little time to plan meals, snacks, get in some exercise, etc. Clearly, if someone is in a mode to lose weight, this may result in much distraction that will thwart efforts to reach your weight loss goal.

This scenario produces more of a challenge, but does not competely make weight loss impossible during this time period. Using your Sunday to plan the week ahead re: meals/snacks, waking yourself up 1/2 hour earlier for some exercise, and perhaps if you are waiting for your child to finish soccer practice, jog a bit on the sidelines.

Every season will create challenges, but we certainly can help you if you have any questions or particular issues you would like some help on.
