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 5

Summer Fitness – Day 5

Yesterday was the 5th day of my new summer healthy/fitness routine. I am proud that I am sticking to the exercise, but I really blew it with the food.  Well, it could have been worse, but it wasn’t up to par. I started my day off with a bowl of Special K – so I started it doing ok, but then lunch time came around and my niece was here so I needed a quick and … Read entire article »

20 Second Fitness Day 2

20 Second Fitness Day 2

Yesterday was my second day of 20 Second Fitness.  I completed the warmup day 2 workout.  It was a little longer, 5 minutes, but I though the exercise was still easily manageable.  It was kind of tricky though because we did the 4 minutes of workout and then had to start it again.  Unfortunately, we procrastinated and didn’t do it until late so I didn’t feel like turning on the Wii Fit for a weigh … Read entire article »

Cinch!

Cinch!

With the new year comes so many resolutions to eat better, exercise more, and lose weight, and I’m not oblivious to those resolutions.  The goal here at Southern Girl Reviews is to be 2 sizes smaller come June 1.  Yep.  And I’m bound and determined to do it.

South Beach – Week 1

I’ve completed one week of the South Beach diet. I haven’t been too impressed – had lost 2 pounds at day 5 (haven’t weighed today). But those 2 pounds are not going to slow me down. I am bound and determined and will stick to the plan. I have been really diligent and not cheated except for Saturday. It was awful.  I learned that traveling and South Beach = YUCKY Situation.  We went on a six hour trip (each way) and our stops were all at convenient stores. And I could find very little besides water at these stores that met with the Phase 1 requirements. After not eating at the first 2 stops, I was starving by the 3rd stop.  There was a Burger King in this store and I … Read entire article »

Swim Suit Season Around the Corner

Swimsuit season is just around the corner and it seems everyone is looking for a way to achieve some quick weight loss. The current method at my house – jumping on the trampoline. We haven’t been on scales to see the results, but we know we ache after an hour of jumping…and if you hurt, you must be accomplishing something right? Also in our house, we are uping our water intaking. Can’t wait for summer!! … 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 »

Illness = Exhaustion = Weight Gain

When I actually had the flu, I did avoid eating almost anything, but then there’s been the weeks of exhaustion afterwards.  That has resulted in me exercising even less than normally.  And less movement means more weight.  I’ve got two options – fight it with some of the best weight loss supplements out there or find ways to be more healthy.  I’ve started taking a multivitamin every morning, drinking less soda and more water and juice.  I think it’s working. I’m almost caught up and back on top of things at work and today I started the email battle. Baby steps I guess? … Read entire article »
