It's the little things

There are a few little things that we can do each day to burn extra calories (to help balance out the Snickers we had in place of lunch).  We are all aware of them or have been told a time or two to incorporate them into our daily lives, but sometimes it is just easier to take the elevator when in a hurry, grab a mochachino to curb the afternoon hunch, and park the car in the closest spot possible to the front door. 


Well it is time to take all that back.  We can do these things...and we will gosh darn it! I am asking you to stand up and take back your power, don't let your every day grind get the best of your energy...FIGHT BACK!!


I am taking a vow (are you with me??) to from now on:

• Park farther away then the rest of the cars and hoof it across the desolate parking lot between the space of the front door and where no wo/man dare walk as far.
• Take the stairs...EVERY time.
• Walk/Jog with music that makes my hips shake and my belly ache (ok maybe not ache but it rhymes :)
• Laugh often (burns calories)
• Drink Cold water (burns more calories to maintain your body temperature when you drink cold water rather than at room temperature)
• Skip the coffee chain coffee and grind your own flavored beans at home (use vanilla soy or almond milk instead of cream or sugar)
• Get out of the car and walk in rather than use drive throughs
• Dance often...dance while vacuuming, dance while you shower, dance while you hang laundry on the line or rake the leaves, dance while you sweep the floor, do dishes, fold laundry, put clothes away, make the bed...you get the idea :) 

If you would like me to post your ideas in my next blog or just want to let me know that you too are going to make the vow, feel free to contact me at magicalfruit88@yahoo.com or post your confirmation on Facebook.


Enjoy your day :)
