Spring Cleaning For More Effective Weight Loss

The arrival of spring is often marked by spring cleaning
rituals as we attempt to rid our homes of all the junk we
accumulated over the winter months while we were hanging out
indoors. The warm weather inspires us to get outdoors and do
some serious spring cleaning. Spring cleaning should also apply
to your lifestyle to encourage you to get rid of stuff that
doesn't work well anymore.

Is all that cold weather comfort food really going to make your
body ready for shorts and tank tops? Will sitting on the sofa
get rid of extra body fat to improve your appearance in that
summer swimsuit? Because the answers to those questions are
clearly no, there is no time like the present to spring clean
your refrigerator and life.

Here are five suggestions...

1. Go through your refrigerator, freezer and cupboards and
throw out all that fattening comfort food you noshed on during
winter evenings in front of the fire.

2. Take a trip to the grocery store and buy all those fresh
fruits and vegetables that are available in the produce section.
Better yet, indulge yourself with a visit to a farm or fruit
market - buying the freshest produce available adds to its
allure.

3. Get off the couch. Take a walk, ride your bike or simply pop
in a new fitness DVD and get started. Exercise can be simple and
doesn't require a lot of time or equipment. Just shut off that
television show for a half hour - get up and do it! Your body
will thank you later when you slide those jeans on so easily.

4. Is the door of your refrigerator laden with soft drinks?
Toss them out and buy a case of water. Not only is water more
refreshing in the warm weather, it has no calories and your body
needs six to eight glasses of water a day to function properly.

5. Store those heavy winter moisturizers and revamp your skin
care routine. Use a mask to remove dead winter skin cells and
make sure you have a deep cleanser, exfoliating treatment, toner
and light moisturizer to complete you warm weather skin care
routine.

With a bit of attention to your everyday lifestyle and some
spring cleaning, your winter woes will melt away and you'll be
ready to face summer looking and feeling your best!
