Steps to a succesful diet.

•Buy a digital scale and weight yourself everyday.
Especially before starting a diet, and manually logging your weight everyday.

•Drink 8 glasses of water everyday.
It will help you feel less hungry. To make it easier, have on hand a pint glass that holds 16 ounces, and drink two pints during the morning and two pints in the afternoon.

•Make your diet public.
Don’t be ashamed of yourself. Tell people you’re on a diet. It will increase your accountability. Remember that you are on a diet for you.

•Don’t diet on the weekend.
Celebrate your weekly success during the weekend. Just don’t let the celebration go too far!

•Don’t sacrifice your life for your diet.
There will be times when you just can’t eat healthy. Exchange that day for one day during your weekend.

•Make small changes.
Change to low-calories options of your favorites. Also, make small changes in your life: park further away, don’t take the elevator, etc.

•Workout.
If you have a gym membership, find the time to go. If not, go for a walk; play with the kids, etc. There’s so many ways to have a good workout without paying an expensive membership. Lots of websites offer free online tutorials and classes on Pilates, Yoga, Belly Dancing, etc.

Free 'Zumba'

Zumba is a great way to help lose weight and tone your body. Is also very expensive pay more than $80.00 for a set of DVD's just to dance. Instead, search the Internet for FREE zumba videos; find them @ youtube or evillage. This last one has great tutorials on everything and best of all, is always free! I start my belly dancing basics thanks to evillage and my schedule everyday includes 1 hour of pilates and 30 minutes of zumba classes and I never pay a cent for it!!!

Technology is great! Start using it smart! You can also find great recipes to add to your diet on web pages like LA Weight Loss for example. You don't need to sign up for the program to get the full recipe.

Enjoy the advantages of having a computer with internet access. It's just sweet!!!!!
