Lose 9lbs by Summer

We have most of April, all of May and June before we get to the beginning of July and hopefully some sunny weather to show off our gorgeous bodies.....

Lose 9lbs over the next 3 months and you can start July with a leaner fitter healthier body.. That's only 3lbs per month or 1.6 ozs per day over 90 days ....

To lose 1.6oz per day, you need to decrease calories by 349.97 per day (minimum)

Sitting still and consuming won't lose weight - quite the reverse. But just a very light amount of activity will boost your calorie burning power. You really don't have to invest the time, energy and space required to cycle or leap about the sitting room. After a tough day at work, we look for the feel-good stuff and high intensity physical exercise isn't always appealing.

Tap into your creative side, settle in your favourite armchair and take up a craft. Crafts need clean hands and most are incompatible with eating chocolate - ah ha moment!

knitting burns about 100 calories per hour. And while you're knitting, you really won't want to turn to the chocolate bar normally consumed through boredom. (at least 250 calories saved)

So here's an idea that's definitely worth going for:

**Don't buy the chocolate bars, relax and knit for an hour every evening.**

Result: After 90 days you will have a leaner, healthier body, and a huge collection of knitwear!

Of course I'm going to encourage you to join the Ekokid craze! The Ekokids bring the fun back into knitting and are perfect for beginners. Quick to make, very little expense and the children will be delighted. Enjoy that wonderful feel-good place when you've achieved a masterpiece. And all the while, stress, tension and those stubborn ounces are just melting away :-)

When you make your own eco-version of Barbie, you're also doing your bit for the environment of course. Less plastic must be a good thing. Choose your title from the Kindle books listed in the EKO Store - menu above (and remember you can borrow them free if you belong to the Kindle library)

Here's to a healthier body, mind and soul :-)

Happy Knitting!
