Be Festive with your Shakeology :-)

Top Tips for Sticking with your Diet while Enjoying your Picnic 

1. If bringing a dish to a picnic make sure it's a healthy one to share!

2.  Pay attention to your portions.  Don't scoop your sides any bigger than a baseball.  

Your meat portion should not be larger than a cell phone. 

When pouring dressing use only a tablespoon which is approximately the size of your thumb.  

3.  Fill up on your veggies first!  Always crunch veggies instead of chips!

4. Eat lean meat.  Stick with lean beef burgers, chicken, fish or tofu.

5.  Limit yourself to one cup total of starchy carbs like potatoes, pasta, or bean salad.

6.  Stay active!  After eating, move around.  Go run around the yard with some kids at the picnic or play some volleyball.  Burn and sweat off those calories!

7.  Drink plenty of water!  Lots of times we confuse being thirsty with being hungry.  Make sure your consuming adequate water especially while being outdoors.  It helps to carry a water bottle around with you to sip.  

Are you Drinking Enough H2O???

We've all heard that you need to drink your 8 glasses of water a day.  Make sure you are drinking 8 + glasses on days like today when its SUPER HOT, especially if you are spending extended periods of time out in the sun.  Did you know that some of our HABITS can actually cause more dehydration and cancel out the water we are taking in?  

Start with your 8 glasses.

Now do you drink COFFEE??   If so, subtract one glass of water for every cup of coffee you are drinking.  

Do you drink tea- other than an herbal tea?  If so, subtract 1/2 cup of water for every cup of tea.  FYI- Green tea is NOT an herbal tea unless it is specified on the label.  

Do you drink soda with caffeine?  Subtract a glass of water for every 10-12 ounces of soda you consume.

Do you drink alcohol?  That's right - subtract another cup of water from your 8 for every drink of hard liquor.  

Do you exercise regularly for one hour or more?  If you do and you should be, subtract at least 2 cups of water for even moderate to light exercise from your magic number of 8.  The longer and more intensely you work out the more water you are going to need to consume.  

Bet you never even considered some of these things!  So re-evaluate yourself:  Are you REALLY drinking ENOUGH WATER?!?
