***Wanted Helpful Tips***

What I’m looking for on this thread are tips of things you’ve done or used to make your dieting or exercising efforts easier for example:

I use zip lock mini bags to make snack packs in portion sizes that fit into my individual diet plan and calorie allotments. They may consist of home made trail mix, vegetables, fruit slices, Beef Jerky, nuts etc… I don’t like to spend everyday in the kitchen and find if I have them already portioned out I can grab one quickly or keep a few in my bag which means I’m less likely to hit the drive thru.

Or since I get tired of just plain water and to much crystal light gives me a headache I put True lemon,True lime or True Orange packets in my water (you can find them at most grocery stores by the splenda)

And when I’m feeling tired and need a pick me up but don’t want to use caffeine I reach for a packet of what’s called Emer’gen-C , it comes in a variety of flavors, I like Cranberry, Orange and Tropical, it has 1000mg of vitamin C and others along with minerals. The ones I use have only 18 calories and 3.9g of carbs. I keep extras in my gym bag, purse and car. The product is by Alacer Corp and you can find them at most health food stores or go on line to TheVitaminShoppe.com and key in Alacer to see all the options (they have decent prices) It really does help wake you up and get you going especially on those long days at work or before or after a workout.

So what have you found helpful for you?
