Eating Out? Make Your Own Lemonade!!!

Members Were Sparked

I keep a small box of Truvia (stevia plant all natural sweetener) in my purse, and an individual packet of Truvia in my wallet. When I eat out, rather than order the sugary lemonades offered on the menu ( which are usually made by mixing lemonade syrup and water), I order a large glass of water and lemon wedges. Then I squeeze the lemon wedges and add Truvia to my water - VOILA! I have made my own healthy, served-to-taste lemonade! (and I saved money!)

Minute Maid Light Lemonade & Cherry Limeade with ICE....0 sugar, 5 calories. So next time you get thirsty? Check that out OR Fuze Slenderize 10 calories 1g sugar, or Lifewater, check to see what the sugar is in it. So other than coffee or tea, those are great options.

Motivation

I have become my own motivator. When it comes to eating I will tell myself NO I WILL NOT EAT ______ and usually I won't. I was so tempted to eat some French Fries my husband bought on a late Saturday night but instead I decided not to because it wouldn't be worth it. I also tell myself to go further on my work outs. I find my own motivation sometimes better than other people trying to motivate me.
