After consuming my weight in frozen yogurt, it feels so good to be back from my cruise and back to LOSE IT! I missed you guys. Saw alot of good numbers on the scale this week. Keep it up guys...
Rather than bore you with all the details, here are just some of the highlights from this week.
quote by one of my favorite lose it pals..."I can't get skinny if I'm stuffing my face everyday with treats"
And since the holidays are coming up, I thought that went along perfectly with what we were talking about :)
Here are some thanksgiving tips...
-Make sure you eat breakfast...some people like to think if they starve themselves all day till the big meal that that will somehow help. You must get your metabolism going, but maybe just eat a lighter meal and small snack.
-It's not always possible to control the ingredients in your meal on this special holiday. BUT you CAN control your portion size.
-Make your favorite holiday food healthier...use low fat cream cheese in your cheesecake, try vegetarian stuffing, make your own cranberry sauce. The internet is FULL of ideas on making things lighter and BETTER FOR US
-Cut your gravy portion. this could literally save you HUNDREDS of calories!
-Drink Water, if your wanting to save enough room in your calorie budget for pie than make sure you are choosing water instead of soda or other drinks. This is always a lose it! rule for me. Drinking water is ALWAYS the best way to go.
-Snack on whole foods. This time of year there are always alot of munchies around. Make sure you keep those carrot sticks and apple slices close by. If you want a mindless snack atleast go for things that are good for you and wont add alot of calories.
Have a GREAT holiday!! Remember, that apple pie has a TON of sugar and fat :) (more than we all thought)
