So for my last blog for this year I decided to share some of my favorite things. Hope you find it helpful and make sure to try some of these out!
These are a few of my favorite things..
Veggie Straws- These are a great substitute to French Fries. I eat these when we cook turkey burgers or when you only have time to throw together a quick sandwich. They are low in calories and a great snack!
Crystal Light Fiber- I have fallen in love with Crystal light drink packets. But especially with the fiber ones. It has a great flavor and making sure you have enough fiber in your diet is so important! But it's not always easy to know. Just drink 1-2 of these and you will notice a difference!
Greek Yogurt- I LOVE sour cream and love to cook with it- I now use this as a substitute and it's great! It is very similar in flavor and with a fraction of the calories. I also love the flavored kind as well. They make a great afternoon snack.
Fiber One Snack Bars- Sweet tooth anyone? This is the perfect snack for when you are craving a candy bar! It only has 90 calories and also packs in the fiber that your body needs. You can't go wrong with these..but remember...only have one!
Turkey Bacon- I am a sucker for bacon! What I love about turkey bacon is you can have two pieces and not feel bad about having them. The flavor to me is actually better than regular bacon. And it's only 70 calories for two pieces.
Egg Whites- First of all they are lower and calories and second of all...They are so much easier to cook. You just pour them into the pan and you are good to go!
Jillian Michael's Yoga 30 day shred video's- These videos are for all of you who say you don’t have time to work out… You have no excuse now. These videos are only 30 minutes long and have different levels. She has different videos out there as well. Pick one up and get ready to see results!!
Myfitnesspal.com- I can not stress enough on how much this website changed my life! If you are serious about losing weight you need to sign up for this now. It is completely free and completely worth it. This website and phone app will show you just how many calories you are really consuming. It is simple and easy to count your calories when you have an app like this. I have lost 35 pounds and my family and friends around me have lost over 150 pounds. IT WORKS!
There are so many other "favorite things" but this is all I have for now....I will try and add more as I think of them.
With the New Year coming up start thinking of lifestyle changes you are going to make. I already have mine... I'm going to join a running club for 2012 and push myself to get back into my running routine that I loved so much. I wish you all a Happy & Healthy New Year!
