  • Look for low calorie options of your favorite recipes when you can - turkey burgers, or hit allrecipes.com up for some low cal good food when you can, but remember that usually, when you go camping, you spend a lot more time burning than you do in your normal routine. Also, give yourself the chance to relax a little and…

  • A little is better than none UNLESS you are so sleep deprived you can't function. If you allow yourself to get too fatigued, your body will start retaining weight - at least mine does. Get well rested and workout as much as you can and know that life - especially with kids - happens, but it doesn't have to be the end all…

  • Get rid of foods that are pre-made or processed, like your lunch meats. The closer to homemade you get, the less sodium you will have. Watch the labels for a few weeks - the sodium of some things will shock you, but the knowledge you gain will be worth it.

  • The scale can be your friend, but I have a strict rule about not EVER having one in my house because I have massive scale OCD. I weigh myself at my parent's or at the gym, note what is going on with my body at the time and can't do it every day. Usually once a week. But this MUST be accompanied with measurements to help…

  • Consider finding a way to drink it with a straw - camelbak has good water bottles (okay, I love them) but even getting a refill cup from a gas station, fill all the way with ice and drink through a straw. Many studies have been done that people will subconsciously drink more when it is out of a straw - good luck!

  • I agree with the suggestion of having a physical. I had the same issue at the end of last year and they realized that 1. I wasn't creating enough progesterone on my own 2. I was significantly Vit D deficient 3. I was iron deficient (not a surprise - I've been anemic for years and 4. my thyroid was a little slow but not the…

  • Indulge a little - you can't go completely without all the time or you will binge. When I'm craving chocolate, my hubby will buy a full candy bar, I'll take a bite, satisfies the craving and I don't eat the whole thing. Try a single serve something to meet the craving but not enough that you can hate yourself later. Good…

  • I too leave the house at 7:00 am and I have three kids with dance, soccer, homework, etc. after school every day. I HAVE to wake up at 5:00 am if I want any chance at getting in a workout. There is just no other time for me. The perk is that at that hour, it's generally not hot anywhere...yet.
