Chunky Dunker’s!

Good evening!

Welcome to another lovely evening of Chunky Dunker’s!

Chunky Dunkers is a weekly weight loss/get fit support group that meet here online every Wednesday evening to get the opportunity to comment, and cheer each other as you each go through your journey to get fit and healthy!!! We will discuss hints, tips, and ideas on losing weight, staying motivated, and achieving your fitness goals, whether that is to lose 5 pounds, to do 10 sit-ups, or just incorporate some healthy habits into your daily life!!

As always, everyone and anyone is welcome to join us, so please feel free to chime in on our conversation in the comment section above, or you are welcome to quietly follow along, whichever you prefer. I look forward to hearing about all of your successes!

This week, I thought I would share 10 swaps that will help make you get fit goals a little bit easier…

1. Swap out your daily snack with a piece of your favorite fruit.  Save calories and guilt.
2. Swap one of your daily side dishes for a veggie. Every little but helps.
3. Swap your high carb breakfast with eggs. The protein with stick with you longer helping you feel full longer.
4. Swap out pretzels and chips for some unsalted nuts. These are chock full of good-for-you-fats.
5. Swap one meal each day with a huge salad, loaded with colorful veggies, lean protein, a handful of nuts and maybe some beans.
6. Swap solid fats like butter or shortening, with olive or canola oil. Your heart will thank you for it!
7. Swap red meat for more lean cuts of meat like chicken/turkey breast, and fish.
8. Stop drinking your calories. Water is your friend.
9. When you first wake up in the morning, spend at least 5 minutes doing some gentle stretches to wake up your body.
10. Spend at least 1/2 an hour outside EVERY day. Fresh air, sunshine, and exercise will all help you feel more relaxed, and it will help you use up any extra calories you might be holding onto.

I hope that these 10 ideas help you, I know that I don’t always stick to these, but I think I will make a concerted effort to follow all 10 of these for the next 7 days. I will let you know how it goes!

Have a FABULOUS evening! 🙂
