Top 10 Things To Do Instead Of Munching!






10. Go for a walk in the mall.
Wonderful way to get climate controlled exercise you don’t have to worry about it being to hot or too cold.

9. Read A Book… Or Magazine!
Reading is a very good way to utilize extra time and keep your mind free from thoughts of food.

8. Chat On The Phone.
Instead of picking up the chips and beer, pick up the phone and call someone you have not talked to in a while.

7. Go To The Gym!
I use the gym as an activity not a chore. Going to the gym is a wonderful motivator and keeps me focused on my goals. It is a tension breaker and stress reliever and keeps me around people with the same goals I have.

6. Take The Family To The Park
Going to the park is a very sneaky way to get in exercise and also get the family active without knowing they are doing something healthy. Most outdoor activities will require some sort of aerobic activity and help burn calories.

5. Start A Project
Starting projects is always a great way to keep your mind preoccupied with productive thoughts instead of snacking. I know when my mind is on completing tasks I never really think of food until it is way past the time I should have had meals. It is almost like an appetite suppressant for me.

4. Catch Up On House Work.
When I am at home I always try to get some extra house work done. Not only will this burn a few extra calories the pay off is always big. A clean house is always a nice to live in.

3. Go To The Book Store.
I don’t know about you, but I claim Barnes & Noble my second home. I love being in the atmosphere of intellectuals spending money wisely.

2. Ride Your Bike.
Brush the dust off your mobile 2 wheeler and get out the house. Just thinking about the cool breeze and fresh air blowing past me while on my bike makes smile. Not only is that a fantastic exercise but a great way to spend the day and see some sites. Highly recommend this to you guys to try.

1. Reading The Mr. Meltdown Blog!
This to is an aerobic activity (aerobic: the intake and exhalation of oxygen.)
