Read and count

Did you know that not all Kombucha, protein bars, or other snacks are equal even in the same brand. For instance Synergy’s Trilogy has less sugar grams than other varieties so I opt for that one when I drink a Kombucha. My nutrition chiropractor said for me to only drink the ones with 2 grams of sugar or less.

Trilogy-2 grams

Guava Goddess-7 grams

 

Also, protein bars or snack bars, read each label, certain flavors are less sugary and have less carbs so just because you read one and it seems super high don’t think you can’t have any of them. I read them all and chose one that has less carbs.

Same with soy or maltitol in bars. Some in the same line of bars have more or less or even none of these ingredients where others do, so read all of them and find one that might work for you where others in that brand will not.

 

Did I or didn’t I?

If you frequently forget if you have taken a pill or not, you can turn the bottle upside down after you take it let yourself know you have in fact taken the pill. Later in the day just put it back to normal. The next dosing time, do the same thing. Or sometimes I will set it on top of another item so when I see it, my memory is jogged that I took it that morning (or evening).

Keep track of what and when you wear something

Most of us can wear our work shirts or blouses at least twice before washing so here are a couple trips to keep your life simple and easy.

 

If you have worn a shirt before you can turn it inside out and hang it back up that way you know it’s been worn at least once before and you will want to wash it this time rather than hang it back up.

 

Once you wear a shirt, when you hang it back up, hang it up inside out. You know it’s been worn once and this time you may want to wash it after.

Another way to keep from wearing the same shirt twice in one week is to move the ones you wear to the back and that allows ones not worn to move closer to the front keeping you from accidentally grabbing the same shirt again.

Keep it cold

Try this to keep your almond milk, coconut milk or protein shakes cold longer..just set it still in the container down in  your Yeti. If the container is small enough you could probably use the Yeti lid and stick the straw through it.
