Well if you have been following my post you will know that I have started a weight loss journey to get into better shape. I did not try to do everything at once I have been doing this for about 8 weeks now, and I have been trying to add baby steps each week.
week one: started to watch my calorie intake
week tw0: started exercising
week three: started to drink 4 glasses of water a day
week four: started to take 2 baby aspirin a week
week 5: started to change up my work out routine
week 6: ordered a bunch of books on dieting, and exercising from the Library
week 7: spring break!
and week 8 (drum roll -please!) I am starting to add 4 glasses of green tea to my diet a day.
Did you know that a Dutch study showed that drinking green tea helped individuals lose weight and inches around their stomach. A japan study also showed that drinking green tea helped in lowering LDL cholesterol-want to read more, check out these sites: Suite101, Livestrong, liftorlife.
So what are you drinking today? Do you have a favorite green tea you love to drink -if so please share!!

My 13yo loves tea so much that she had a teapot on her Christmas wish list. She got one and uses it often. I'm really not much of a tea drinker, but now I'm thinking I should take it up.
ReplyDeleteI do love my black coffee and it has health benefits, according to Dr. Oz. I'm not sure it helps with weight loss though.
Good for you and your new healthier lifestyle. I wish you the best!
Drinking water is awfully hard! But I have no choice. I had a kidney infection last week so I try to drink 4 or more glasses of water a day.
ReplyDeleteGood luck as you continue your life-changing habits!
My liquid intake:
ReplyDelete*Coffee w/ skim milk, cinnamon and 1 T of fat free hazelnut creamer - I measure it out each a.m. just to be sure I stay w/in the limit!
*Water, water, water
*Green Tea w/ a splash of heated up skim milk, a shot of honey & cinnamon - this is my go to drink mid-day (w/ caffeine) or decaf on the nights I'm hungry, but shouldn't have anything else to drink
