Jane
as Barbarella
|
On
January 1st, 2002, you probably vowed that "from this
day forth, I am going to kick bad habits, go on a diet and
start working out with Jane!"
If we were persistent and used exceptional good will power,
you are probably in a very good state of health and moving
your way to a body like Barbarella's (or
Pygar's!)!
So why ruin it now? As we have heard from many viewers,
its not the pausing the diet, its the getting back on track
that is the problem.

Committing
your ideas to paper is probably the best way to
make a plan, it brings it to life. Write down
what days you will be off healthy eating and not
working out - and stick to it! You may split the
time; break for holiday and go back on the healthy
life style, then take another day on new year's
eve.
Many people, and I for one, find that eating a
lot for the first time after being on a long healthy
eating plan is a huge shock to the system. And
can result in feeling sluggish and not wanting
to do much exercise (as if that wasn't enough,
it is winter, when our body
naturally slows down)

| Please
go easy on your break. Even if you justify eating
your forth slice of pie, try to remember how long
to took to burn off every calorie! There are 3,500
calories in one pound of fat, and unless Santa
is bringing you a spare figure or a Jane Fonda
Workout tape, remember it all has to be burnt
off come January!
Don't let your guard down either, alcohol increases
the appetite and reduces will power. If you have
wine with a meal, dry diluting it with club soda
Quick calorie facts to remember...
1 Gram of fat: 9 Cals
1 Gram of Alcohol: 7 Cals
1 Gram of Protein: 4 Cals
1 Gram of Carbohydrates: 4 Cals |

Your
metabolism can take three days to start slowing
down after you've stopped exercising. So if you
are planning a long break (or any thing over three
days), you might want to try going for a walk
each day, which keeps the metabolism ticking over.
You could try Jane
Fonda's Walkout
or use this walking opportunity to spend some
time with your family, and lose weight at the
same time! |

Chocolate
Cheese Cake
Preparation:25 minutes
*
Cooking: 1 hour * Serves: 8
| In
addition to the preparation and cooking times, allow
at lease 1 hour and 15 minutes for the cake to cool
before serving. This cake satisfies even the most
serious "chocoholic". The chocolate makes
the cake sweeter than plain versions, but it is still
not so sweet that fans of the more tangy cheesecakes
won't enjoy it
