When I prepare lunch and dinner, I always plan my vegetable first. Then I add my protein and last my pasta, bread or rice. I find I feel more satisfied with my plate. It's heaping! Vegetables are a "0" points value so I can eat all I want.
We've always been taught that its important to get our water in each day! I used to hate plain water. I'd drink diet soda, flavored water or juice. While all of these are considered a fluid, water is the best for you.
I participated in a Wellness Program at work that required I drink at least 64 ounces of water and only "water" a day. I found this awesome water bottle at Walmart. Warning: People may stare at you though! It is quite a huge water bottle. The best and most shocked looks are when I'm driving down the road and drinking out of it! It makes me laugh!
No more counting the glasses of water. I just know this needs to be gone by the end of the day!! I don't mind plain water anymore. I've found I like plain, room temperature water these days. It quenches my thirst better than a Diet Coke.
Since I sit at a desk for most of the day, I try to find at least 5 minutes each hour to get up and run errands up and down the stairs. This is one of the tips Weight Watchers recommends.
When I get home from work, I always fit at least 30 minutes into my busy schedule. I will either do my Leslie Sansone or take a walk. If the weather is bad outside, I've even been known to go to Lowe's or Home Depot and walk the isles on my lunch break before I get off work to make sure I get my steps in.
I know for a fact that these 3 things combined have made my weight loss on Friday very successful. I feel fantastic, too!
