Holidays and Balancing the 3 F’s: Family, Food, and Fitness
For all of our recent commentary on how the Holiday season can be a difficult time of year for anyone on a weight loss journey, it’s important to note that, like almost everyone else, it really is the most wonderful time of the year.
We’re Here to Help: How The Olivera Weight Loss Family Can Keep You on Track During the Holidays
Over the last few months, we have been exploring ways to build better dietary habits, a consistent and effective workout routine, how to manage certain holidays, and we’ve mentioned very briefly how we can help.
Work The Stress Out!
We all know how good exercise is for our body. We know that lifting weights can help us increase muscle and our base metabolism, as well as help us change our body composition. We know that cardio, whether it be running, or riding a bike is good for our blood pressure and lung capacity.
Stay Steady to Avoid Holiday Weight Gain
It is that time of year again! Halloween is firmly in our rear view, but any adult who has ever tried to lose weight to improve their health knows that the real test starts now.
If You Can Sustain it, You Can Attain It
Recently, we have covered how to build better habits regarding our dietary choices and our exercise routines. Without a doubt, both are important steps in the process of healthy weight loss.
Work A Workout Into Your Schedule
We are so busy in our daily lives that we have all heard the catchphrases and cliches about simply not having enough time to do anything.
Portion Control is Self-Control
One of the recurring themes in any weight loss journey is portion control. More often than not, it serves as a visual aid to help educate us as to what a healthy portion is. But there is a difference between learning what a healthy portion is, and how building portion control as a habit can help us lose weight.
A Coach and A Game Plan
We can all agree that when it comes to weight loss journeys, it is always best to have a plan. After all, succeeding at anything never just happens. It takes commitment, focus, and more often than not, a well thought out approach.
One Plan Saves Time, Money, and Calories
Whenever we try to reach a healthier weight, we always have some sort of plan or at the very least, an approach. Some of us take a very intense approach and count calories consumed versus calories burned, and others have a less defined (but no less valid) attitude, such as trying to insert healthier habits, or refraining from that extra slice.
Why A Workout Schedule is a Syllabus for Success
For most, working out is usually the hardest part of any weight loss journey. We always find some reason to avoid exercise. Some of us say we don’t have enough time; some will say we just don’t like it.
