Weight loss for pre-empty nester women who don't like working out
Losing weight seems so daunting, doesn’t it — especially if you’ve tried in the past and not succeeded? You are busy and don’t have time to radically change the way you are living life now.
Here’s the good news: I’ve found 5 easy things to do to help you lose weight without being overwhelmed. Best of all, you can start doing them right away. Do these 5 things this week and you will see results!
Eat Off A Smaller Plate
One of the tricks I learned years ago was to use salad plate instead of a dinner plate. It makes you feel like you are eating more than you are and helps you keep your portion size where it needs to be. Just make sure you don’t go for seconds.
No Eating After 6pm
Your body needs to digest your food. So the earlier you eat dinner, the better. Can’t eat before 6pm? Then after 6pm will be your “NO CARB ZONE.” No carbohydrates after 6pm and you are golden!
Grab A Rotisserie Chicken At The Supermarket
“Fail to plan, plan to fail” is the meal preparation mantra. Sometimes that can be hard with a busy schedule. You end up eating out or relying on processed “convenience” foods. I’ve found that a rotisserie chicken is my biggest weapon in the meal planning battle. Buy a rotisserie chicken and shred the meat. Place in snack-size baggies and place in the freezer. Then, thaw it when you need a quick meal. I add it to gluten-free pasta and pesto, I make chicken tacos with corn tortillas, and even put it on my salad for lunch.
Drink Water First Thing In The Morning & 30 Minutes Before Eating
Wake up and ready to grab coffee? Your body is actually dehydrated and is craving WATER. Drink at least 8 ounces of water before grabbing your morning cup of joe and see the difference. Also, to avoid overeating, drink 10 or more ounces of water 30 minutes before you eat. Not only will you be full, you will also digest your food better than if you drink water during your meal.
Buy Baby Carrots And Cucumbers
These are your secret snacking weapons! Always have them in your refrigerator so that when you feel like grabbing potato chips or other snack foods, you can grab your baby carrots or cucumbers instead. You may not actually be hungry — you may actually just be bored.
Making these slight, simple adjustments can make a huge difference in the way you feel and look. It’s all about baby steps on the journey to a healthier you!

My confession...
Cardio + strength + endurance + flexibility at the same time!
There was a recent post in my neighborhood Facebook group that read: In search of a unicorn: Remote, work-from-home, part-time job Make my own hours Not MLM Not cold calling I've done Door Dash before but don't want to put any more wear/tear on my car. I'm an efficient typist. I have 13+ years of self-taught graphic design (Photoshop & Illustrator) experience. I'm tech-savvy, creative, and I learn quickly. Any ideas? It made me wonder why Network Marketing/MLM jobs get such a bad rap? I get it, I used to avoid the lady at my church who always wanted me to have a home party for her. And, I said “no” to all the people who introduced me to their opportunities. A few bad apples might have left a bad taste in your mouth too. However, I remember reading a book about Mary Kay Ash when I was in elementary school. The business she created allowed her to be present for her kids while also building a business. That was something I always desired. And the business model she created also made sense. It was a lot of people coming together to do a little which compounded into something big. As a stay at home mom, I was getting tired of being strapped financially and I wanted some play money. I didn’t want to work outside of the home because my kids were my priority and I wanted to be fully available to them. I was approached by my BFF about a business. At first, I said no and began to avoid her like the lady at my church. But, then I started to become curious about the business opportunity. I’d seen how well the products worked for my BFF and her husband. And, I remembered Mary Kay Ash’s network marketing business. This business opportunity wasn’t selling makeup, pills, or a face cream but a lifestyle change that would create a ripple effect for those who used the products. It was what I personally needed for my health and it made sense. I can tell you the truth about network marketing. It is the best business model I have found for women who want to work their own hours, has a small start-up cost, and allows them to leverage their time by working as a team. It takes hard work, diligence, and being coachable. You are the type who isn’t afraid to try something new and wants to create a ripple effect that can make an impact on generations to come. Let’s make a lasting impact together. More information about how you can join me in changing lives can be found here .
