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...
