Learn To Love Food and Enjoy Dieting

By

If you are trying to lose weight or just watching your calories and fat, you’ll be happy to know that there is a way to love your food and enjoy dieting. Women’s fitness involves a sensible diet that you can live with, complemented by an exercise program that keeps you fit. The really great news is you can actually diet without giving up the foods that you love.

Portion Control means Weight Control
The way to enjoy dieting is to adopt the proven philosophy of portion control. Eat the foods that you love, but in moderation. If you love chocolate, eat a small piece every day. A sweet morsel of dessert can actually help to curb your appetite, by sending a signal to the brain that the meal is officially over. Dark chocolate is an excellent choice since it is loaded with antioxidants and can aid in digestion. Look for chocolate that is 60% or higher in dark cocoa for the better benefits.

Good to the Last Bite
Learn to savor and enjoy every bite of your food. Never rush through a meal. Now, I know women in particular lead such busy lives that they constantly feel as if they have no time for themselves, not even enough time to enjoy their food. However, gobbling down a meal almost certainly counteracts the benefits of healthy eating.

Instead of eating 3 large meals a day that require more time to eat, I suggest eating 5 smaller meals every day and taking the time to enjoy each one. If you know that you will be on the go, prepare healthy snacks to take with you so you can recharge your resources throughout the day. If possible, set aside time to sit down and enjoy every morsel of your food.

Make Goals and Keep Notes
Learn to love food and enjoy dieting by maintaining a food journal to keep you on track. Write down every thing that you eat and drink, including the portion size that you consume. Make plans for healthy meals throughout the week and month. Stay on top of your diet by constantly planning ahead. When it comes to mealtime, allow yourself to enjoy your food. Eating is a natural part of our lives, we have been blessed with a variety of foods to choose from. Embrace this gift, enjoy your food, and reap the rewards of healthy eating.

How To Get That Sleek Sexy Look In This Season’s Jeans

By

There’s nothing like a great fitting pair of jeans to show off a sexy butt. But many times what we can’t see from the front is leaving a lasting but undesirable impression behind.

But let’s face it—everyone knows that it’s what is inside the jeans that counts. A well-toned butt looks extra sexy in a nice fitting pair of jeans. Whether perceived by the conscious or sub-conscious mind, a sculpted rear is a symbol of health and vitality.

There is no denying that a small waist and a shapely derriere is attractive under just about any piece of clothing. However, denim jeans have a way of accenting the beauty of a fine set of sculpted buttocks, unlike any other pair of pants.

So what is the secret to a sexy looking jean? It starts with defining the type of legs, butt and stomach you have and then working from there. Although you cannot change the length of your legs or the bone structure of your hips, you can exercise to show off the best parts of your fabulous figure.

A well toned tush is easily attainable with the right exercises and let’s face it, we all need exercise. From aerobic activities that strengthen the heart and burn fat and calories to resistance exercises that sculpt and tone, a women’s fitness program will go a long way to improving the way your jeans fit you.

Some exercises that you can do are the squat, lunge, shoulder bridge and donkey kicks. All of these work the gluteus maximus. To boost the benefits from these exercises, you can step it up to the next level by adding weights to produce better results.

As you progress in your exercise program, you may find your pants beginning to loosen up. Even without changes in the body, you’ve no doubt noticed that all denim stretches as it is worn, which is why it’s best to purchase jeans that are a bit tight in the beginning.

Motivators VS Assassinators

By

There are inspirational motivators in life that can help you succeed in attaining your goals. But there are also those who actually try to work against your motivation. These people might even resemble assassinators of motivation. For some odd reason, they emit a negative view about everything productive. They seem to have no motivation and don’t want anyone else to have any either. These types of personalities can be fatal to your goals, especially when your goal is a women’s fitness program.

Just like any other goal you have in life, your goal for women’s fitness is one that requires determination, hard work and commitment. That is why you cannot jeopardize your efforts for success by allowing anyone to destroy your motivation.

If these nay sayers are close friends or relatives then you will have to be proactive when dealing with them. Simply tell them of your goals and explain to them that while you love and respect them, you will not tolerate anything or anyone to discourage you from working towards your goals. For those people who are just mere acquaintances or distant friends, steer clear of them for a while. Too much negativity can be too much of a challenge, so if there is a way to eliminate or derail it, then by all means do so.

On the other hand, there are those wonderful people who believe in us and thereby offer motivation for our goals. These people can help you to stay focused and work towards your goal. Their motivation helps to make goals realistic and more attainable.

Start Your Diet With The Help Of A Fitness Journal

By

If you are just starting a diet and want to succeed, use a fitness journal to help you along. It’s a great tool to inspire you to get started, keep you motivated and help you to stay on track.

Many times women begin a weight loss or fitness program but never write down their starting weight and size. They progress for a short time, but start to feel like they are wasting their time. Soon, they begin to lose motivation and before long they give up completely on losing weight and getting in shape.

That’s why starting and maintaining a fitness journal is vital to your success when you want to get in shape. Your fitness journal holds all of the proof of the results of your hard work.

Once you begin dieting and exercising you may begin to tire of it and feel like you aren’t seeing any results. The number on the scale may not be changing rapidly enough for you and you think you aren’t losing enough weight. But the important thing is how do you look? How do you feel? Chances are your body shape is beginning to change, your clothes start to fit better, you find that you can buy a smaller size when shopping.

The journal makes everything simple. Not only can you keep account of what you eat, drink and all of the activity that you do each day, you can record your starting point so you will have accurate records of your progress.

Reading over your daily reports of your diet and fitness activities gives you insight on what works for you and what doesn’t. You’ll be able to tailor a diet that fits your lifestyle, goals and pocketbook.

The journal helps to boost your self-esteem by providing proof of your ability to achieve something you might have thought was impossible. Losing weight is not easy. It takes a lot of hard work and determination. It requires dedication and commitment. Your journal will offer you the opportunity to admire yourself, to applaud yourself, and to say with conviction, that your hard work is paying off.

Fitness4Her is a diet, exercise and journal program that was developed exclusively for women. A diet that you can live by, an exercise program to get you in shape and a journal to show you the results.
