THERESA: I'm already noticing with the cool weather that I'm not as motivated to do weight training, because who cares how ripped my shoulders are once I'm back into bulky sweaters... And we're getting into major holiday snacking season, starting with Halloween and continuing straight through to Valentine's Day. Any advice to share? Maybe Jenice can tell me where to buy sexy tight long-sleeved tops so I'll stay motivated to stay fit...
JENICE: Well, arms may not be bare right now, but clothes are pretty body concious this season. Baggy is so out - unless you're into hip hop. If you go into the stores, you'll see how form fitting everything is right now - unless you're shopping at some place like Chicos. Those hot, new T-shirts by C&C California show off slim taut torsos and even stay tucked in your low-rise pants. You can find those at Knit Wit on Walnut Street. And don't forget Express. They've got some terrific flat-front pants - but they don't look good if your belly's pooching out. And that's something to think about when you're reaching for the potato chips....
THERESA: Thanks, Jenice! This is vain to say, but one cool thing about being in better shape than I was a year ago is that I don't HAVE to limit myself to places like Chico's anymore...
BARBARA: The best time to give in to your weakness is around lunchtime because you can burn it off during the rest of the day. I have a sweet tooth, so I sometimes allow myself meringues after lunch. You can eat 5 for 100 calories. They make me feel like I'm treating myself but I'm not pigging out.Try not to snack at all after 8 p.m. It turns to fat. Also, I find it helps if you eat less carbs at night. So try to skip the potatoes and pasta at dinner. As for fitted tops, try the (I'm not kidding) Victoria Secret catalogue. They have tops (and bodysuits) in a variety of colors and the prices are reasonable.
APRIL: One way I control weekend snacking impulses is to give in...sort of. I make one giant pot of soup, or a great dip or hummus with pitas mid to late morning on a Sunday, and as long as it's healthy, we can pick on it all day guilt-free.
JENICE: Now, I could be wrong about this. But if I want to eat something, I just go ahead and eat it. In moderation. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll go crazy. Thank goodness for those little, snack size chocolate bars!
LAURIE: One tactic I use year-round to cut down on nighttime snacking is to brush my teeth. It fools me into thinking I'm done eating for the night. Personally, I tend to gain weight in the summer because I love ice cream.
My problem, year round, is snack machines. So I stopped carrying cash and change on me, except when I knew I would need it, such as coffee with friends. This has helped enormously.
Posted by: Hallie on November 13, 2003 06:24 PMThat's a great suggestion. It's been important for me to resist grazing through snacks people offer at work. M&Ms. Chips. Cookies. Once you start paying attention, you realize those mindless handfuls of calories really add up!
Posted by: Theresa on November 13, 2003 06:52 PMIf I eat a light breakfast and lunch, I am less likely to eat snacks during the day. However, something goes completely wild with me after dinner. I crave goodies like ice cream before bed. The worst time of the day to snack!
Posted by: Brenda on November 15, 2003 05:34 PMYou know, air-popped popcorn is a pretty healthy, low-calorie after-dinner snack, especially if you go easy on the butter. It won't satisfy a sweet tooth, of course, but it's filling, gives me something to munch on when I'm watching TV, and five cups have only about 100 calories.
Also, I can sometimes talk myself into subbing low-fat, lite yogurt with fruit when I'm craving a dish of ice cream-- also a calorie bargain.
