1. Commit to a regular exercise time. If the after work workout routine always seems to get pushed on the back burner because of other life events, consider changing the workout time to the morning, or even during your lunch hour.
2. Cut out high calorie, high sugar beverages such as soda, punch, and fancy coffee drinks.
3. Include a fruit or vegetable at every meal and snack.
4. Bring your lunch ___ amount of times a week. (Fill in the blank realistically.)
5. Avoid the office candy jar.
6. Stop mindless nibbling. When and if you are truly hungry plan a sensible meal or snack. Those empty calories that are being snacked on can easily be the key to one’s weight loss.
7. Weigh and measure servings. This is not a suggestion to become obsessed with measuring and weighing, however every now and then bring out the kitchen scale and measuring cups and actually see how much is being served.
8. Keep a food log.
9. When dining out, leave some food behind.
10. Create a new bedtime routine. If evening munching is a downfall, then re-assess and see what other activities can be done to help relax and unwind.
