Summer Fitness – Day 6

Summer Fitness – Day 6

Yesterday was back on track for fitness and a little better eating habits. Let’s start with my food: I started another morning with a bowl of Special K. I’d rather have eggs, but that would require a trip to the grocery store. LOL   For lunch, I had a chocolate Slim Fast shake. For a mid day snack, I had a bowl of sugar-free jello.  And we finished out uur day with dinner -  we had baked … Read entire article »

Summer Fitness – Day 4

Summer Fitness – Day 4

Yesterday was the 4th day of my workout regiment.  I overslept and did not do my morning mile walk.  By the time I woke up, we had to rush to get to our daily appointment.  Oops. I did start my day reasonably healthy food wise though. I had a bowl of plain Special K for breakfast to reduce the calories.  When I went to pick up Cameron from her summer activity program, they were celebrating the … Read entire article »

South Beach Day #1

South Beach Day #1

Not long ago when in one of my favorite online places, we were discussing weight loss and Laura, one of the members, mentioned that she had recently started the South Beach Diet.  She was so motivated that I had to find out more.  Luckily she is a blogger so I was able to read her progress at Got Chocolate and thought, I can do this, and I HAVE to do something. I went to Amazon and … Read entire article »

Holidays Means Weight Gain?

In my world, Thanksgiving is the beginning of eating, eating, and more eating..between faculty parties, family get togethers, PTSO feeding us, and friend get togethers, it seems that every time I turn around is a super duper meal. And I don’t turn away good food – Nope, not me, NEVER!  This is the time of year when I bet search terms such as best way to lose belly fat ” probably grow mega in popularity. At least around here it does. I’m already planning to start a new exercise routine and maybe even a detox a couple days next week. Here’s to not gaining too much weight over the next month! … Read entire article »

When All Else Fails

When all else fails, do you turn to slimming pills? I haven’t decided yet. I’m against medication across the board really. I don’t even take Tylenol for headaches until they are unbearable. So taking medication for anything is hard for me, but then I keep looking at the lack of results of everything I’ve tried in the past and I’m not so confident anymore. I’m going to give these 10 Minute Workouts a try though before I decide on a new plan of attack. … Read entire article »

Review: Some Old Favorites With a Healthy Twist

We love our pancakes, waffles, and pasta so when I received a sample of two new Atkins’ products from Mom Central: Penne Pasta and All Purpose Baking Mix, I thought what a lucky choice for us to get to review. I have to admit to being one of those people with good intentions when it comes to our family diet, but then reality sets in, life gets busy, and we get back into our old habits. I will also try healthy or generic brands without hesitation, but if I can taste the difference, I frequently go immediately back to the brands I have bought for years. So anytime I can find a way to incorporate healthy without really making any changes to our routine and without noticing a taste … Read entire article »

Working and Exercise is WORKING!

In the last 2 weeks, I’ve lost 6 pounds.  I’m so excited.  The only down side to me routine….I’m exhausted ALL THE TIME at home so I’m getting little blogging and lesson plans done.   Today I took the day “off.”  Why? Because I had a teacher workshop to go to.  That’s kind of sad when going to a workshop in the summer is a day off, huh?  LOL  While I should have been paying attention today I was going through emails as they too had piled up OF COURSE and I had one on Stimerex ES. I had never heard of it so I went to check it out.  I usually am so tempted and interested in reading about any diet supplement, but this time even though I read a … Read entire article »

It’s Summer Time!!

Yep.  I’ve been not posting (I know, I know), but it’s now summer time.  Maybe it won’t be “officially” summer for 3 more weeks, but once school is out, we consider it summer at my house. I’ve had 2 pool naps since Friday – that’s summer!  We’ve cooked more outside than in – that’s summer!  Cameron is signed up for the summer reading program as well as dance and twirling – that’s summer.  The house is getting cleaned room by room, top to bottom – that ‘s summer, and I dn’t like my weight and have to do something about it – that’s summer.  I’ve been looking at some different exercise videos and I think I’ve got a plan for daily exercise … Read entire article »
