First, I hope to see those of you come into the office with your collection of August words of the day....if you have them, you get a cool surprise....
First September word of the day: School
Okay, so what about school? For those of you who are parents and your children are going back to school today, I wanted to remind you of the challenges involved concerning your focus on losing weight. Preparing them for going to school, then going to a full day of work, then off to a soccer practice or other after school activity, then home. Not much time to think about what is for dinner or even lunch for that matter. The tendency is to start doing "quick" things for meals, and what is quicker than a drive-thru fast food restaurant?
This becomes a very challenging time and requires you to use Sunday perhaps for 30 minutes as a "planning" day. Look at your week in advance and start plotting/planning out how you will handle the challenges of the upcoming week. Perhaps only a few days are challenging, but you ust think about this in advance because when we make decisions on the fly, they are usually not the best ones for keeping our weight under control. Also, as it remains darker later and turns darker ealrier, those of us who enjoy outdoor exercise may start finding less and less time to do it outside. Develop alternative indoor exercise plans to offset the less outdoor time.
The challenges exist but with the correct planning, you can indeed overcome these challenges and make your weight loss efforts successful!
Completely off subject but here goes: Do any of you Skins fans really think you have a chance at the Giants this Thursday nite??? Okay, I KNOW this will get some comments!!!
