We all know that more than presents come during the holidays. After all of the treats, sweets, and cocktails, we all need some advice for burning off the holiday pudge.

Here are some tips for burning off that extra fat in 2019.

1. Go to a low-carb diet.

After the holidays, spend a few weeks avoiding bread and other carbs. I know, it's hard. However, it's essential for burning off those holiday calories. Skip the rice, bread, and cookies and you'll be good to go.

Instead, opt for green-based meals or eliminate the starch from your favorite meals, like the tortilla from a taco or the bun from a burger.

2. Go to the gym at least a few times a week.

Whether you are a gym addict or just go every now and then, this is the time to kick it into full gear. Go for at least an hour, and make sure to capitalize on cardio exercises like the treadmill and elliptical. Don't carry any laziness into 2019.

3. Lay off the drinks.

You had your fair share, so now is the time to take a few weeks away from alcohol. Alcohol usually has a lot of calories and carbs, but even if you drink light, it can still work up an appetite, so take some time off. It'll be good for you - and your liver.

I hope you had a happy holiday and have an even happier New Year. Here's to a great 2019!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
