Stay hydrated with 3 easy recipes

Hello my beautiful friends! I have talked about the importance of water in previous posts & how I keep up with my water intake. Believe me i'm not perfect with water intake there's days where I forget or just not too interested in drinking plain boring water. This is why I love to plan ahead and purchase 3 ingredients that make delicious infused water. All you need is berries, lemon & cucumbers. If you guys haven't had infused water you are missing out, it will make your water have so much flavor & it just feels so refreshing.
There are great benefits of having infused waters as well. The biggest benefit I have seen is just since it looks pretty & it has a taste I actually tend to drink it more thru out my day. I would love to share with you guys how you can mix & match these ingredients and make different combinations with great benefits. You can defiantly get fancier than this but this is what works for me because its easy to make, with ingredients that I tend to have at home already





We have berries with lemon
Lemon with cucumber &
cucumber with berries

 & I think my favorite part was how different they taste by mixing them with a different ingredient. Ofcourse the 4th option could be to do one with the 3 ingredients. All you need is to cut up slices of cucumbers & lemon, and a handful of berries (I used frozen).

Cucumber
 - Flushes toxins
- Fights inflammation
-Aids digestion

Limes
-Flushes toxins
-aids digestion
-boosts the immune system
-Rejuvenates skin

Berries
-Rich in antioxidants
- & also fight inflammation & flushes toxins

As you can see they tend to have very similar benefits so mixing them together its great for your body. Now no excuses, Drink your water.

-Stay hydrated
xoxo karla.

    I really like the idea of adding fruits to the water. Now, I can't wait for my strawberries to fruit so I can make these asap.

What I ate on 21 day fix

  Hello my beautiful friends!   Today is officially day 2 on 21 day fix, am I skinny yet? Okay no but today I felt amazing. Day 1 was a struggle to be honest I feel like I did not space out my meals correctly yesterday but today felt like a successful day. My tip for you guys if you are on the program or looking into starting it is really taking a look at the list of foods that you can eat. Day number one I had too many of the foods from the bottom which to me is the reason why I felt so hungry thru out the day. The more nutrients and fiber your foods have the better you will feel.   I guess I started with thinking I could only have salads but lettuce was being used as one of my veggies and since it doesn't have much nutrients it doesn't keep you full. Today I added broccoli, tomatoes and bell peppers instead and felt well thru out the day & had great energy.   Okay guys so I tried to keep it simple and I will be eating the same foods for the next few days

Today its actually day 11 for me so on Monday I will be completing week 2!   I just wanted to update you guys on how its been going for me. I have to start by saying this program is amazing, I have learned so much about portion control & seeing food in a different way. I promise every time I see someone's plate I think about what portions it is & what container it belongs in.   The first two days I think were hard for me. I felt a bit hungry & lost through out the day. I was not enjoying the foods that I was eating much & I was having too much salads. By now I've been feeling so much better, I'm adapting very well to my portions that sometimes its hard to finish eating all the containers that I need to eat.   So here's 11 things I've learned on my 21 day fix journey !   FYI. My diet consists of 3 green contain

Hello my beautiful friends!!! Healthy can have different meanings to different people. I would love to share what it means to me & the goals that I have in mind for my fitness journey. I strive for a healthy balance on a daily basis, which means to me eating healthy foods & whole foods about 80% of the time & having pizza & a donut on some other days. I love food, and I feel like I'm still in my journey to having a better relationship with food. I have a huge appetite like really I could eat a torta & a burrito and will still ask what's for dessert? this is the reason why I choose to eat bigger portions of healthier & whole foods.
