Burning calories – daily exercises for the non-athletic

30 Mar

We all know that in order to lose weight we need to eat less or exercise more. I found this list of daily exercises for the non-athletic (that includes me!) with the number of calories burned. Calories can be burned by the hundreds by engaging in strenuous activities that do not require physical exercise. I’m sure athletes will also find some useful information that they weren’t aware of!

Daily Exercise for the Non-Athletic

Exercise                                                       Calories burned per hour
Beating around the bush                                             75
Jumping to conclusions                                              100
Climbing the walls                                                     150
Swallowing your pride                                                 50
Passing the buck                                                        25
Throwing your weight around (depending on your weight)      50-300
Dragging your heels                                                    100
Pushing your luck                                                         250
Making mountains out of molehills                              500
Hitting the nail on the head                                           50
Wading through paperwork                                        300
Bending over backwards                                               75
Jumping on the bandwagon                                        200
Balancing the books                                                      25
Running around in circles                                            350
Eating crow                                                                  225
Tooting your own horn                                                  25
Climbing the ladder of success                                   750
Pulling out the stops                                                      75
Adding fuel to the fire                                                  160
Wrapping it up at the day’s end                                    12

To which you may want to add your own favorite activities, including:
Opening a can of worms                                               50
Putting your foot in your mouth                                   300
Starting the ball rolling                                                   90
Going over the edge                                                     25
Picking up the pieces                                                  350
Let’s all get out there and burn some calories!

Dress Sense for your Body Shape

14 Mar

If you’re struggling to find clothes that suit you because your weight or your shape has changed – try and get hold of the “Trinny & Susannah programme; Undress The Nation”, (see the article “Discover Your Body Shape..” for more information) or have private consultations with an Image Consultant. You’ll save because you’re buying fewer items that all work well together. No more clothes that you never wear because; the colour doesn’t suit you, the fabric is wrong, the style doesn’t flatter your shape, or it only matches one other item in your wardrobe. It really is a good investment.

Catherine Bowen of Dress-Sense in Cape Town offers;

 

1.       Personal Image Consultations

“If you are looking for practical help with co-ordinating your style, this is an ideal service. The consultation includes an evaluation of the clothing needs your lifestyle dictates, a shape assessment to gauge which cuts of clothing will suit you best and personalised recommendations on what to wear, how to wear it, and why. This service is also recommended for brides looking for assistance with their wedding day look, and that of their bridesmaids”

2.      Wardrobe Consultations

“The wardrobe consultation assists clients frustrated with their style who are looking for a fresh, objective perspective on their existing wardrobe. During the consultation, each item in the wardrobe is reviewed. Unflattering or dated items are eliminated, alterations are arranged for pieces which need updating or better fit and gaps in your wardrobe are isolated. In addition, clients are offered practical advice on how to organise wardrobe space to maximise its functionality.”

3.      Shopping Consultations

“This form of consultation best suits clients looking for:

  • help in co-ordinating a look for a special occasion
  • a wardrobe update at the change of season
  • shopping assistance, whether to save time or to rework your look by adding carefully selected key items

 Clients either provide a shopping list, or use Dress Sense to help compile a list of essential items which need to be sourced. Additionally, Dress Sense offers assisted shopping. This service allows you to shop with fashion expert Catherine, who understands your look and can help you make the clothing and styling choices needed to revitalise your image”

Journaling

5 Mar

 

Ever since I read The Artists Way by Julia Cameron I started journaling – writing 3 “morning pages” a day. She uses it as a tool of creative recovery. After writing for a few months I gained insights into negative patterns of behaviour and thinking.

 What is journaling?

Journaling allows you to record your thoughts, feelings, emotions. It’s about writing without thinking… letting your hand move across the page without giving much thought to the content – writing whatever is in your mind…e.g. I hate writing, I really don’t know what I am supposed to write about. I haven’t done this since school and still don’t find it easy….etc etc.

 What are the rules?

There is only one rule and that is that you write…3 pages…every day….even if you think you have nothing to say. It is for your eyes only.

Why write?

Journaling is a way to track your emotions, habits and patterns of behaviour and provide you with insights…

Journaling a weight loss tool

I recommend using a journal as part of a weight loss programme to record insights, track patterns in behaviour and devise pro-active lifestyle changes. Journaling provides insight into the way you think. It allows you to get past your “inner critic” that little voice that keeps sabotaging your efforts to lose weight.

 Journaling turned out to be one of the key tools in my weight loss success which is why I insisted on including a journal in the weight loss kit I designed. For further information on the kit you can go to http://sandygoldberg.wordpress.com/2008/11/22/
