Work out

Holy crow! I did the crunch bootcamp workout last night and didn't think anything of it as I was doing it... Today I am super sore! But it feels amazing ... I've been keeping very close track of my diet and trying to track my movement as well, shoveling, vaccuuming, the workout, driving... Everything.... It helps to compare the intake with the out put.... Tonight for dinner we had baked turkey meatballs with steamed broccoli and whole wheat penne with homemade cheese sauce... Made with nonfat milk, 1/3 fat cream cheese, and sharp cheddar... I hope you all have a safe and blessed evening, stay warm and shake your booty! Lol

New year new you

I have to admit I have slacked off way more than I even realized... I have started tracking my food again and have surprised myself at how much I have slacked on my eating habits.... So, it is time for diligence and detox.... I've been working out every day again, I have even been running every couple of days for two weeks now, which feels amazing... I hope you all are making progress with your goals and if you have any questions let me know! :-)

Metabolism

Well, I can tell my metabolism is reved back up into high gear, I'm back to working out every day, eating clean healthy food (and tons of it cause I'm starving all the time) but that tells me I'm doing something right and as long as I keep the calories that are going in clean healthy and balanced with what I'm burning I'm going to push past this plateau in no time! So what changes have you made to your routine?

Trying something new

Alright, I'm going to try using the Blogger app on my phone, there aren't any pretty colors though... Anyway, aside from me trying a new app, I suggest you try a new workout, or a new route on your walk, if you're used to walking hills, find a route that is flat and work on speed, if you're used to walking on flat ground, find some hills and work on strength.... If you're used to doing nothing but cardiovascular then work on strength and toning... Also, try something new when it comes to eating, find a new recipe online or in a recipe book... Or if you have something specific in mind that you would like to try and need help modifying let me know and I will help you figure it out. Happy eating!

holidays are almost over!!

well ladies and gentlemen, the holiday season is almost over and life can get on as usual. the good news is, i have not gained any weight this season. the bad news is, i think it is only because i was puking for a whole day lol one more holiday to get through, i hope you all have your fruits and veggies with you or set out at your party, lots of water available to drink and if you choose to have any alcohol look up some lo cal recipes on skinnygirl.com or hungrygirl.com also, a wonderful alternative to the greasy munchies that will be all over the house this weekend, pop some popcorn on the stove or in an air popper, spray a bit of olive oil on it and sprinkle with your favorite herbs and spices, this is my favorite snack no matter what time of day or season... so tell me, how have you all be fairing with beating the holiday bulge? 

HOLIDAZE....

how ya'll doin? it has been a chaotic few weeks for me and just trying to keep my head screwed on so it doesnt fly off into the cosmos... my uncle sent me a link to an amazing website with tons of recipe modifications for all our holiday favorites, keep in mind the modifications does not mean they are a free food, it just means that you can eat one with out feeling extremely guilty about it... i hope you are all staying active and sane through the holiday season and in a week and a half we can all start fresh with a new year!

K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid)

here is an article on some simple exercises you could do to help tighten your mid section and get your heart rate up, and get your endocrine system working. being stagnant for too long creates a build up of toxins in your glands. do this 3 days a week and progress as it states, with some walking/running/dancing on the between days and you will start seeing and feeling amazing differences in your energy levels and body shape! you may have to push yourself to put forth the effort in the beginning, but i know from experience that you will reach a point where you crave the endorphins that come with exercise, it is very addicting...
