Every year at this time, thousands of folks wake up in the morning, jump on the scale and say – that’s it – I’m going on a diet.  OK - now what?

If you’re like the average person in this country, you probably gained 7 pounds over the past 7 weeks of celebrations.  Now what? 

Well, the truth is, for some folks, that weight is here to stay – and after a couple of years, instead of 7 pounds, it’ll be 47 pounds – and that’s a lot harder to lose.  So what do you do?  It’s easier than you think. 

Start by getting back to your regular eating habits – that’ll stop any gain and you’ll probably naturally lose a couple of pounds. 

Next, remember, a pound is 3,500 calories – so reduce your daily calories by 2 soda’s and a cheeseburger and the weight will be gone in 7 weeks – about the time it took to put it on… that’s reasonable.  Want better results?  Exercise – and you’ll be back to normal in 3 weeks. 

So lose the drams.  A small adjustment will get you right back on track.

Hey, it’s all about moving – do some now so that you can do more, later.
