Tips and tricks to try today:
PUMP IT UP
• Step, jog or march in place 30 minutes while watching TV. Better yet, take a stroll after dinner instead of turning on the tube.
• Get off the bus or train a few stops from your destination and walk the rest of the way there.
EAT WITH YOUR HEAD
• Restaurants dish way more food than you need- split an entrée with a friend or family member.
• When eating on the run, reach for fruit or nuts instead of chips or candy.
