• At the Lake: If you are an able swimmer, there is no better way to burn calories than by taking a vigorous dip.
• At the State Park: State parks were made for calorie burning activities! Take a hike that matches your fitness level, or bring your bike for an all-day adventure.
• At the Beach: Be a beachcomber for the day as you walk along the water. After your walk start a game of volleyball or Frisbee on the shore.

• Your Best Bet: If you want a refreshing caffeine boost look no further than an iced coffee. It is just as refreshing as any cold beverage and it contains less than 20 calories (even the Venti.)
• Frappuccino Fix: If you have to have a frappuccino, then order a tall Light Blended Frappuccino without whip. This contains 140 calories and 1.5 grams of fat. Way less fat than a regular frappuccino.
• Lose the Whip: If you are standing up right now you may want to sit down for this one. The average plop of whipped cream on a blended coffee beverage contains 13 grams of fat! Do I even need to say more?
• Your Worst Bet: If you are wondering just how detrimental a coffee beverage can be to your weight loss effort then let me introduce the Venti Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino Blended Creme with whipped cream. This beverage weighs in at 720 calories and 25 grams of fat. Yikes! That's like losing the benefits from an entire week of working out.

• When you dine out cut back your portion by splitting an entrée with a friend. Most restaurants will be happy to do this for you and your friend will benefit from the cut in calories too.
• Chisel down your breakfast calories by exchanging your breakfast sandwich or eggs and pancakes for a refreshing cup of yogurt.
• Who said soup was only good in winter? Soups (ones that are not cream based) make a satisfying and filling dinner with fewer calories than your typical fare.

For dinner tonight use a small plate instead of a full sized dinner plate. It sounds simple, but you will actually eat less off a small plate than you would a full sized plate. This is a great way to encourage smaller portion sizes without feeling like you are being deprived.
