Fit Bit (iced coffee junkie)
Dear Kimberly,
I have been doing well
on my Wellness challenge sheet. I have
lost 3 pounds. I keep cheating with my
iced coffees. I just can’t seem to give
these up. Can I trade off something else
to keep them in my diet?
Sincerely,
Iced Coffee Junkie
Dear Iced Coffee Junkie,
When you tell me you need Iced Coffee the first thing I
wonder is; “are you getting enough sleep at night?” The fact you need a regular stimulant that is
high in calories suggests that you may be out of balance. Take a good look at your lifestyle and make
sure you are walking in God’s peace.
When we live, in to much stress many of us compensate with stimulants or
depressants. Remember to always, trust
God and walk in His peace.
If you really want to consume all those calories in one
small drink, then cut someplace else to avoid weight issues. Iced Coffees are empty calories without
nutritional value; so it is hard to justify cutting good nutrition for
them. If you feel you need them, cut
your starches and fats from the wellness challenge and that will be a solution
for weight control. Your best bet is to
drink water, black coffee or tea as your beverage choices. You can add lemon to your water for a little
something special without lots of calories.
Matthew 6:33 “But
seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.”
Be fit and be blessed,
Kimberly
