Spring Cleaning For More Effective Weight Loss By Ryan Cote At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

The arrival of spring is often marked by spring cleaning rituals as we attempt to rid our homes of all the junk we accumulated over the winter months while we were hanging out indoors. The warm weather inspires us to get outdoors and do some serious spring cleaning. Spring cleaning should also apply to your lifestyle to encourage you to get rid of stuff that doesn't work well anymore.

Is all that cold weather comfort food really going to make your body ready for shorts and tank tops? Will sitting on the sofa get rid of extra body fat to improve your appearance in that summer swimsuit? Because the answers to those questions are clearly no, there is no time like the present to spring clean your refrigerator and life.

Here are five suggestions...

1. Go through your refrigerator, freezer and cupboards and throw out all that fattening comfort food you noshed on during winter evenings in front of the fire.

2. Take a trip to the grocery store and buy all those fresh fruits and vegetables that are available in the produce section. Better yet, indulge yourself with a visit to a farm or fruit market - buying the freshest produce available adds to its allure.

3. Get off the couch. Take a walk, ride your bike or simply pop in a new fitness DVD and get started. Exercise can be simple and doesn't require a lot of time or equipment. Just shut off that television show for a half hour - get up and do it! Your body will thank you later when you slide those jeans on so easily.

4. Is the door of your refrigerator laden with soft drinks? Toss them out and buy a case of water. Not only is water more refreshing in the warm weather, it has no calories and your body needs six to eight glasses of water a day to function properly.

5. Store those heavy winter moisturizers and revamp your skin care routine. Use a mask to remove dead winter skin cells and make sure you have a deep cleanser, exfoliating treatment, toner and light moisturizer to complete you warm weather skin care routine.

With a bit of attention to your everyday lifestyle and some spring cleaning, your winter woes will melt away and you'll be ready to face summer looking and feeling your best!
