Aunt Claudia's Pretty Good Diet Tips

So now, Aunt Claudia is ready is venture into "Diet Land" ...

and here are the Pretty Good Diet Tips

she has learned over the years:

No need to feel yucky anymore! She sets her mind to better habits.

Oh why did I eat that entire box of chocolates and the butter cookies?

1) The internet can be a great source for healthy food plans and sensible exercise programs!

Just pick one that fits your lifestyle.

Who knew there were so many programs out there?

2) Find some new hobbies to take up your time - or rediscover some old favorites:

Now let's see, knit one, purl two, skip one...

Dance is always fun and good to get you moving!

♫♪ You put your front paw in ♪♫ You take your front paw out ♫♪

♪ You put your front paw in and you shake it all about ♪♫

Or take up music - it soothes the soul...
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

3) Make new friends. Step outside your circle!

So your name is Bunny? My name is Tiger - nice to meet you!

And remember - good friends will stick with you through (ahem) thick and thin!

4) Start an exercise program.

I'll catch you (pant-pant) I'll catch you (gasp) I'll catch you...

Swimming is good!

Who said felines don't like water? Just don't call it the dog paddle, please!

Try exercising with a good friend.
How many calories do you figure we've burned so far?

5) Start a healthy, sensible eating program:

Get lots of low fat dairy...

Direct from the source. Can't get any fresher than that!

Include plenty of fresh fruits...
Are any of these chicken flavored?

And lots of good veggies!

Wait - I think my friend Bunny would like these much better!

And try to get at least two servings of fish a week.

Now that's more like it!

6) Make an effort to get outside at least once every day.

Hmmm, very interesting...too many (pe)e-mails to count...

Take your human for a nice long walk, it's good for them, too!

Come on, let's go
Even a nice nap in the sunshine counts!

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz**YAWN**zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Of course, before making any changes in your lifestyle habits,

be sure to consult with your medical professional!



And remember ~ L♥ve yourself no matter what!!!

Aunt Claudia Gets Ready to Diet...

Okay, It's been a lo-o-o-ng Holiday Season...and now it's time to start fresh in the New Year. Aunt Claudia gathers her thoughts and reviews the recent past...
Oh hold on to your hats - some of it ain't pretty!

Now how the heck is it that the first time back on those scales is so shocking? HOW much?!? Where did all those extra numbers come from? OMGosh!!

This thing must be broken!

Guess she will have to visit the Ghost of Recent Christmas Past ~

Uh-oh, this could get ugly!

But there's gotta be a reason this huge thing keeps following behind her,

Oomph! Everything is SUCH a struggle! Don't remember the window being this high!

and NOTHING seems to fit anymore!

I swear I could squeeze into this at Halloween - no, really!

So there were too many times of over-indulgence...

What? I heard it was good to the last drop!

...and a few too many sweets...

Hey, it was going to thrown away! Waste not want not I always say!

..and maybe a wee too much wine!

It helps me sleep better! Realllly!

Seems that her diet got overloaded with carbs ~

Those carbs just seem to trap me up!

~ and she never got enough exercise!

I told you, the wine reallly helps me sleep!

Trapped! In a cycle of bad habits and poor diet! What can a girl do?

I gotta get outta here! Help!

Now she's just plain MAD at herself !

Boy, am I MAD!! Spittin' mad!!

But there's a solution - she needs to make a deal with herself and get on with it ~
