Christmas Party Countdown Part 1


There are 8 weeks until Christmas and already the invitations to parties, reunions and annual get-togethers are rolling in. While it may be too soon to worry about what to wear, it is not too soon to start preparing yourself for the party season. If you are to avoid the sudden panic the night before your work’s Christmas ‘do’ when you realise that the zip of your trusty old little black dress just will not do up, then you need to step away from the Halloween goodies and get moving!

If you have a few pounds to shed before the party season begins then don’t panic. By making only a few changes to your lifestyle you could be the belle of the ball come Christmas!

Be realistic- you are not going to shed 5 stone before Christmas by drinking vinegar and having ice baths! Fad diets are difficult to stick to and can leave you feeling (and looking) worse than when you started. Yoyo dieting is one of the worst contributors to long-term weight gain. Eating healthily and getting more exercise really is the best way to maintain a healthy weight- sorry, but there really is no magic lotion or potion!

Before you start trying to lose weight, weigh yourself- it might not be as bad as you thought! Keeping track of how your weight changes can also help you track your progress and see the rewards of all your hard work! You can of course do this using a pen and notebook, but if you like to keep up to date with the latest gadgets and your smartphone is the centre of your life, then why not invest in a gadget to do all the hard work for you. The Fitbit Aria Wi-FiSmart Scale measures your weight, body fat percentage and body mass index (BMI) to provide a full picture of your weight trends. The Wi-Fi enabled scale lets you set goals, track your progress effortlessly, and stay motivated each and every day. Your stats automatically upload to your Fitbit dashboard where you can get a more comprehensive view of your health and fitness and track your eating and exercise habits so you can work out trends in your weight loss (or gain) and work out what really works for you!
