A new year, a new you! We hear that phrase all the time as we are all getting ready for the new year ahead. The problem is, a lot of times our diet and fitness goals are often not met because we give up so quickly. One of the reasons for this is that people say it’s simply too hard for them to keep up a healthy lifestyle. To prevent this from happening again this new year, you need to surround yourself and fill your kitchen with things that will help you achieve your goals as seamlessly as possible.
When a bottle of wine is opened, a lot of us start acting like there are no calories in wine. The problem is, our bodies don’t think that way.
This wine glass helps us track how much we are drinking and how that translates into calories. Let’s be honest though – if you are drinking 10 ounces of wine, you either have a great reason to be drinking that much or you’re having a cheat day.
