Stay occupied

I never get a chance to get bored because I'm always on the go, working, doing activities with the kids or running them to somewhere they have to be or spending time with family and friends so I rarely have idle time but when I do it drives me crazy! One reason is because I instantly want to eat. It's satisfying and it fills in blank time. It's the worse thing you can do, never eat out of boredom. You'll always chose the wrong foods and you'll always eat too much! If it's that bad for me I'll start cleaning. Throw some clothes in the wash or start vacuuming, scrub the toilets if you have to! Just think you'll have a lean body and a clean house too, what more could you ask for? Don't underestimate the power of cleaning too, it burns calories. Have you ever tried to scrub soap scum. I don't have these guns for nothing! Also you can create some more family time. Put the candy bar down and play a family game or a watch movie. The best thing to do is exercise. Hop on the floor and do some crunches, lift some hand weights while you watch your favorite TV shows. The next time your Saturday night plans fall through or the rain ruins your outdoor plans, instead of plooping on the couch with a half gallon of ice cream get active and get moving, the scale will thank you!
