I am really glad that winter is over. How about you? I mean, there are some things that are really fun about winter like sitting around the fireplace, watching movies with the family and drinking hot cocoa. However, all that hibernating can lead to a whole lot of work in the spring.
Many of us do a lot of spring cleaning when the season rolls around but we also have to worry about how winter’s effect on our bodies. All of that sitting and eating… well, it isn’t awesome for the waistline. So, I know many people that are looking for great tips to get their weight loss started. So, for those of you fighting the battle of the bulge this spring, I have compiled a list of weight loss tips to hopefully help you on your journey.
Spring Weight Loss Tips
Spring Weight Loss Tips #1 – Work In The Garden – Gardening can be a lot of work. It also makes your yard and home look really pretty. Between replacing mulch, fertilizing trees, planting fruits and veggies and tending to the flowers, gardening can really burn a lot of calories.
Spring Weight Loss Tips #2 – Spring Cleaning – Cleaning the blinds, stairs, lights, cabinets, etc, can be very labor intensive. There are many people who like to give their home and epic clean in the spring and then maintain the rest of the year.
Spring Weight Loss Tips #3 – Pretty Up Your Home – For some reason, spring feels to me like the right time to paint. Our daughter just painted our bedroom and hall a couple weeks ago and it looks fabulous. There is nothing like the smell of clean paint to get you in the mood to do more around the house.
Spring Weight Loss Tips #4 – Join A Team – Play a sport. There are so many teams accepting signups in the spring that it should be easy to find something to sign up for. Our rec center has several sports to choose from in the spring, so it’s easy to find something for the whole family.
Spring Weight Loss Tips #5 – Drink Plenty Of Water – Safety first. Before you do any of these activities, make sure that you drink plenty of water. Also, continue to do so during and after the activity. Also, try to do as many of these activities in the early morning hours or late evening hours, if possible, as they can be the coolest parts of the day. If you feel dizzy or tires, take a break.
Spring Weight Loss Tips #6 – Weight Loss Programs – If you would like a jump start on your weight loss, try a weight loss program. No one wants to stop eating real food and a weight loss center, like Herbal Magic, can help you learn how to eat right for you.

I was on vacation last week and ate TERRIBLE. I am back to eating clean this week, though!
Wonderful tips. I have been working in the garden and doing a bit of spring cleaning. I have guest coming to stay this week. I always feel better when spring arrives. It has to do with getting out and exercising.
Great tips here for weight loss. I would love to join at team. It's one way to have a great time, get a good workout in and not even realize it. I try my best to drink water throughout the day. It really helps!
Spring cleaning has already begun at our house, and I must say it does get you active after a long winter of couch, bed, and couch again.
I love the winter, but I love how spring makes you feel like getting up and doing stuff, and naturally burning off a few pounds in the process.
Drinking only water is the first step to weight loss!
I was surprised how hard it was to drink all the water one needs in a day. Way harder than you would think
Drinking enough water is the hardest part for me! I really need to be better about it.
Great tips. I never drink as much water as I should. Maybe now that the weather is getting warmer I'll be better about it.
I have been doing very good with drinking my water. lol I hope I can keep it up!
You can do it! I am rooting for you. :)
I will be doing the spring cleaning and drinking water.
