morning all =)

The weather is shinning bright so it's a great day to get out and do some kind of exercise: walk around, go swiming at a beach or a pool, bike ride if you have a bike. I woke up this morning and usually I will have a glass of soda to start my day but instead, I chose water. that is so much better for you. just a quick little change I did to start my day right. Now, my goal today is to drink just water . when you are trying to lose weight, water is the best thing because it helps cleans out toxins in your body and you don't want them to stay. the suggested amount you should be drinking is 6-8 glasses a day but you can always drink water. there is no limit to how much you drink.
I will try to commit to write a little each morning to help you get started through the day. Today, just focus on you and what you put into your body, make sure it's healthy. Have fruit , for snacks, and then also you could have vegetable and a fat free dip. That is what I am going to have later. I got myself carrots and celery sticks with fat free ranch dip. Just don't have too much of the dip.
Here is an example of 1500 calorie diet :
Fruits- 1.5cups( all types of Fruits)
Vegetables-2cups( all types of veggies)
Dairy-2cups( stick skim milk and reduced fat cheese)
Grains(-5oz,1 slice of bread=1oz)
Protein-5-6oz(1serving =deck of cards, try 2-3servings a day)

IF you are gluten free like I am, you can have gluten free bread, gluten free english muffins.

I hope this helps you all today. take time to take care of you. Let me know how you did. I will do the same. Lauren
