Simple steps Lynette! You got this!!! Log how much you weigh NOW and if you can... take your measurements so that you can see what you are about to make happen!!! =D
No more dairy! That alone will boost your weight loss. No cheese. No milk. No yougurt. No ice cream. NO DAIRY!
Increase your water intake... Aim for three to four bottles a day. (If you have to have something else with meals... opt for tea with NO sugar or CoKe ZeRo)
Work out 30/60 min a day for 5/6 days a week... (Even if you can only fit 15 min on any given day, DO it!!! Get a sweat in!!)
Finally, your grocery list:
Pam cooking spray
LOTS of chicken breasts
Cans of tuna
Mrs. Dash Seasoning
LOTS of lettuce
Cucumbers
Carrots
Sweet potatoes
Avocados
Lean ground beef
Any fish fillet(if you know how to cook it) I Don'T! o_O
EGGS
Onions
CoLoRfuLL Bell Peppers
Any fruit (Specially strawberries & Blueberries)
Asparagus
Celery
Snack foods...
Raw nut trail mix!
100 calorie Special K bars
(try to stick to only 1 snack a day)
Now... mix and match anything you want off this list for 3/5 small meals a day or 3 larger portion meals!
If you MuSt have pasta... only once a day and keep portion control! If you MuSt have rice... try to make it steamed and brown if possible(flavor it w/veggies)
Again, only once a day and remember portion control!!
