16. Clean Something Really Well Once a Week
Doesn’t matter if it’s your kitchen floor, the bathroom, the windows in one room, or your car, it’s these little things that matter. A 150 pound person will burn about 4 calories for every minute spent cleaning. So if you scrub that shower for 30 minutes, you could burn off 120 calories or more and have something clean and shiny to be proud of at the same time.
17. Wait for the Rumble
You might be surprised how often you eat out of boredom, frustration, or habit. Many people find that when they hear the horn on the lunch truck, they go eat whether they are hungry or not! If your stomach isn’t growling, you probably aren’t really hungry. Wait for the rumble, friends.
18. Walk 45 Minutes Instead of 30
Want to lose weight but don’t want to diet? Simply walking 45 minutes a day should be enough to make you drop pounds, even if you don’t change your eating habits. Duke University found that although 30 minutes of walking stopped most people from gaining weight, it’s the exercise beyond 30 minutes that resulted in weight loss and fat loss. You can burn 300 calories each day by walking briskly for 45 minutes. This means you could lose 30 pounds or more in a year without changing your eating habits.
19. Try to Get Most of Your Calories in Before Noon
Numerous studies have found that the more you eat in the morning, the less you will eat in the evening. You also have time during the day to burn off those early morning calories than you probably will those early evening calories. Follow the old adage that says you should eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper.
20. Get Your Mantra On
This works for many people. Your subconscious is listening to every word you say, (and it believes you) so even if you don’t believe it, say it anyway. Whatever works for you. You can make short term mantras, such as “I won’t order ice cream for dessert” or long term mantras like “I know I can run a marathon in June” or “It’s easy for me to lose weight.” Keep repeating them and before you know it, they will come true.
