Weight Loss Weapons

Here are a few of my favorite new "weight loss weapons":

1) I always keep a pair of sneakers and a change of workout clothes in my trunk...that way I'm always prepared to go for a walk or hit the gym!

2) Instead of using a Hidden Valley Ranch packet and adding mayo and milk to make a dip, use cottage cheese! Mix the ranch packet and cup or so of low-fat cottage cheese in a blender, adding a little bit of milk if necessary to thin it out a bit. It's perfect for veggies, crackers or chips, and tastes just like the real thing!

3) My mom got me hooked on this water bottle from Target:

It has a sliding top on it that a straw pops out of. I have 4 of them, one in light pink, dark pink, green and black...and I love them! I carry them with me everywhere, and I fill them up to the 24oz line with water then add my Lipton Tea packets, shake, and drink! The design is mess free, and it helps me drink more water during the day! plus they are only $10, can't beat that.
