All Dressed Up for Sitting DownWritten by Sherri L. Dodd
There is a saying that you should dress for success. Most usually, this phrase implies fine suits, designer shoes and any extra accessory that you can add to ensemble. This is because when you hear word success, most people visualize wealth and its preceding occupation. In fitness world, dress for success means something different. Not necessarily success from a different type of job, but instead fitness success through your method of dress. This is due to that fact that studies have linked casual dress at work to more calories burned while doing normal day to day activities.For many women with jobs such as those in media, management positions, bank tellers and even glamorous gals behind counters at your favorite department store, tight skirts, constrictive collared blouses and high heels are common thread. In past, I have also shared in cruel wardrobe during many years while I worked for a large corporation and various other professional jobs. As day progresses and your time-efficient tootsies have begun to swell, sometimes you prefer sanctity of your stabilized desk rather than crushing sensation of body weight in heels against earth. Sometimes even a much-needed trip to restroom is postponed for sake of avoiding walk of what seems like burning coals. In addition to sore feet, there is also social lunch hour. A welcomed colleague luncheon may bring plenty of laughter, but resulting swollen tummy in your form-fitted skirt may beg for shelter beneath edge of your desk. Pair two together and it is a recipe for activity avoidance. This lack of interest in, literally, going extra mile may contribute to sedentary tendencies while in workplace, which can indeed lead to weight gain.

Most of us are looking for easy ways to loose weight. Well, here today we will talk about how to do just that. It might not be as hard as you might think. We all have friends who pack on double patty burgers with two extra large fries each day. After they swallow this, they will go onto eating a whole bag of candy and wash it down with a half gallon of milk. Sound like some of your college buddies? Through out day, we get thirsty. All living creatures do. What do you turn for most often? Sodas, we all do it. Why? Because they are easy to get and they taste good. Who can turn down a sweet drink after a jog in sun? Well, you shouldn't be doing that. There is two reasons why. One is because it is wasted calories. You don't get anything back from soda. You might get some pep from caffeine, but that is about it. You might get a slight sugar rush, but it won't be anything that last. The second reason is, because we are slightly hungry. We aren't hungry enough to go get something to eat, but a drink will satisfy us enough to our next meal. Instead of drinking sodas all day long, drink juice. More specifically, juice with pulp in it. I know what you are thinking. There is more of a purpose to this than moving your bowels. We all have had a bit of a problem in bathroom department and have ran for juice with pulp in it. Juice with pulp in it will fill you up. Unlike sodas, there is something actually there to curb your hunger. You will drink less because you will get full. Try it, you will be surprised. Always stick to wheat bread. Don't eat white stuff. Whole wheat products are known to stabilize blood sugar levels. This mean you won't get hungry as fast. This is an easy way to curb your hunger. Here are some tips you can use when making sandwiches. Avoid cheese. We put way to much cheese on everything these days. I won't be surprised if some day they make a cheese covered soda can. This is a heart attack waiting to happen. There is no reason to eat this much cheese. One of ways you can cut down on amount of cheese you eat is by shredding cheese. Use shredded cheese instead of cheese slices. You can cover same amount of area, with less cheese. You can also do this on salads as well.
