First of all, thank you Suzanne for the very nice comment yesterday...for those of you who did not read the comment, Suzanne was very complimentary about the daily blog and said that she could almost hear my Nuuu Yooork accent voice in her head saying the things I am writing...and that is EXACTLY what I want to do (minus the annoying accent), which is to get into my patients' heads daily with stuff to think about...because once again, if we stop thinking about issues, we go automatically back to old behaviors and the weight starts going back on.
It has been very hot outside and during the warm/hot months we tend to drink lots more fluids. Some fluids overtly are harmful to our weight loss efforts....non-diet coke, pepsi, beer, etc. As we ingest these drinks we know full well that they will impact on our weight loss efforts. However, have you seen the caloric count on a large glass of ornage juice??? Cranberry or other fruit juices??? VERY HIGH!!! Water, flavored waters such as Propel (grape is my favorite and they are now a corporate sponsor...laughing...teasing!!) Please get used to checking the nutritional labels on every drink that you take in other than plain water and if the caloric count is not 20 or below, switch to a different drink. At Starbucks or any other coffee place that sells the iced drinks, be careful of the calorie count...ask them what is the amount of calories that are in the drink you are ordering. Paying attention to these "small" details can really add up!

Starbucks also has all of their nutrition facts online. And don't forget that you can get their shaken iced teas (hold the sugar) for zero calories! Try the Passion, it's my favorite. =)
