I want to start this out with Happy Canada Day!! (July 1st) and Happy Fourth of July!!! My game is starting with two celebrations days!! The game name says it all, I believe, Valerie's Smokin' July days, http://diet.bt/fdAKz1.
I want to give and receive support as we celebrate the important days in our countries. there will be bar-b-ques, parties, good food and drinks. I truly believe we can celebrate with out doing ourselves in. It just takes a little planning. There will be temptations everywhere, not just during these celebrations but every day. It will be easier to have that beer, eat the ice cream or even just sit on the deck or by the lake, river, ocean and not move. I would like to challenge you as we start these July days. Find something that is fun to do. Walk in the evening, play ball with your kids (fur babies and two legged ones). Find your honey and plan a light evening meal.
Bar-b-que is good, grilled meat tastes amazing, add a green salad and some sweet juicy melon for desert. mmmmm watermelon after having a grilled burger, sounds amazing. The watch factor is the dressings on the burger and salad but even an oil based dressing is fine, just a light amount. This is the key, think light and small portion sizes. Ice cream is even allowed, 1/2 c is a serving, count it as a dairy and you are good, add some fresh fruit (think strawberries and blueberries) and you have a great snack. REMEMBER SNACK!! lol it is all about taste, enjoy what you have in front of you and get the kids or neighbour hood involved in a water fight!!
Enjoy summer, let your inner child out and rule the day!! Enjoy your celebrations! it is about fun and finding ways to not let the boredom get in the way.
Join me for July and lets make those days smoke! fire up the grill, turn on the sprinklers. There is no excuse for just sitting. get out swim, wake board, water ski, hike, whatever your little heart desires. Time to get smokin' hot!!
remember Valerie's Smokin' July days, http://diet.bt/fdAKz1. This will include support, recipe ideas, smoking grills and amazing summer fun ideas!!
HAPPY JULY CELEBRATIONS!!!!
