This was Monday
Newly motivated I woke up determined to walk or do something that would make me sweat for 30 minutes. From all my research, and it has been stated even in the article for the Prevention Weight loss Article along with dieting, you need to do some physical activity that makes you sweat for 30 minutes at least 3 times weekly but more like 5 or 6 times for best results. I am trying to do a exercise video but it is more challenging than I thought it would be.
Started off the day as normal glass of water, banana
Green drink which is basically my breakfast
glass of water with chia seeds
lunch was a modest plate of the left over pasta from the night before
apple I would have paired that with string cheese but I didn't have any, don't you hate that? you think something is in the frig. you go for it and someone has eaten it already? lol
dinner was chicken with salad and mixed veggies
no dessert but I had a glass of tea that was kind of sweat I mixed the PMS tea with a ginger tea and a peach detox tea and it was so hot I put ice in the tea so I drank it cold.
This is a new tea for me but it is delicious I will definitely be buying it again
I did not walk but I busted out my InMotion elliptical and used that for 20 minutes you can see that below and I did my stretching/yoga positions too.
This was a good day and easy to stick to my "plan"
Thanks for watching, and come back tomorrow!

8 Healthier Alternatives to Our Favorite Junk Foods user
User post: 8 Healthier Alternatives to Our Favorite Junk Foods
In case you weren't aware, Tuesday was National Junk Food Day. As if we really needed another excuse to binge on junk food to begin with.
The next time you are feeling the junk food munchie attack, consider these 8 healthier alternatives to the following junk food cravings all of us are susceptible to.
Craving a chocolate candy bar? Have a square of dark chocolate instead. Dark chocolate is said to lower blood pressure and is a potent antioxidant--qualities that are not found in milk chocolate or white chocolate. Plus, a simple, elegant square of dark chocolate lacks the caramel, oily peanuts, toffee bits and other not-so-healthy things that are found in most chocolate candy bars.
Craving ice cream? Have plain yogurt with fruits, honey and nuts on top. Go for non-frozen yogurt because the nutritional difference between ice cream and frozen yogurt isn't very big to begin with. Also, it is highly likely your body is just craving something cold and sweet--so make it extra-refreshing with some generous chunks of real fruit.
Craving chocolate chip cookies? Have granola bars instead. (I suggest a Fiber One bar) Chocolate chip cookies are full of sugar, hydrogenated oil, white flour and other chemicals that do plenty of damage to your nutritional intake. A granola bar, on the other hand, might actually give you some nutrients in addition to dispelling a little of the sweet tooth craving you are having. Make sure the granola bar you choose has no additives or preservatives.
Craving potato chips? Have kale chips, edamame, rice cakes, unsalted pretzels, or low-fat microwave popcorn instead. Maybe you just really want to aimlessly stuff your face with something and it doesn't necessarily have to be a bag of super-oily, super-unhealthy potato chips.
Craving sugary candy? Have dried fruit instead. They are sweet in a natural way that won't make you feel like you're going to wake up with a head full of cavities the next day. Try different dried fruits spiced in different flavors, and you will find that they have a more interesting and satisfying taste palette than a bag of Skittles.

Too Busy, Too Hot, Just More Excuses!
Well yet another Friday has come and gone, and I did not wiegh in.
I haven't been on the tread mill all week, I didn't even walk the dog this week.
It has been so hot here in California, even the dog just lays around! lol.
And, I have had pizza twice this week, and I ate a pint of ice cream last weekend! Yes, a pint, all by myself. But it's okay. Tomorrow is a new day right? As I type this blog entry, I am baking some chicken and we will be having rice and vegetables too. It's supposed to be a little cooler tomorrow, so I will make it a point to get on the tread mill, and I promised the dog I would walk him tonight.
My business is picking up and so my team is growing, which means I am doing a lot of training. So there again is another distraction (excuse) for me not exercising. But nothing interferes with my Leg Magic, I love that machine. Even one of my 10 year old's friend loves my Leg Magic. When he comes over he gets on it and uses it.
Other than those backtracks, I think I'm doing okay. I am still drinking plenty of water, and eating a lot of fruit, a lot of fruit. I wish I could live off fruit!
I went to the grocery store and I was amazed how easy it was for me to pass up the chip aisle, and I didn't even glance at the chocolates they put by the cash register to entice you to see which ones were on sale, ha! So, I know my attitude is changing towards healthier choices and I feel really good about that.
So stay tuned, this week I will be really focused. On August 1st I'm going to a Gumbo Party! And you know I am not holding back! lol So I will be focused on my eating and my workouts. Isn't that a shame, my whole motivation to be good this week, is so I can pig out on Saturday lol! Whatever works right?
Live blessed, not broke!

Foods That Save Lives?
On nutrition: Foods with function
By Barbara Quinn
What is a"functional" food? In Japan, its a food with a "specified health use." In Canada, it's a food with physiological benefits "beyond basic nutritional function." In the United States, its a great marketing tool with no legal definition.
All foods are functional at some level, according to a recent paper on the subject by the American Dietetic Association. "Functional foods" have been found to provide additional health benefits beyond their basic nutritional content. Many have been enriched, fortified or enhanced, such as calcium-enriched orange juice or omega-three fortified eggs.
Others are just regular foods that have been found to possess health-promoting substances. Here are a few of my favorites from registered dietitian David Grottos intriguing book, "101 Foods that could save your Life":
- Artichoke: Actually the immature flower of a thistle plant, artichokes are thought to be one of the world's oldest medicinal plants. Besides being a rich source of vitamin C, folate, and dietary fiber, artichokes contain substances that may ease an upset tummy and reduce the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
- Broccoli: A member of the cruciferous family that includes cabbage, cauliflower, kale, collard greens and brussels sprouts, broccoli contains a good many compounds with cancer-fighting properties. Broccoli is also rich in sulforaphane glucosinolate (dont try to say this at home, boys and girls) a potent antioxidant that has been shown to stop the growth of breast and prostate cancer cells.
- Chocolate: Dark chocolate contains natural substances called flavonoids that improve the health of blood vessels and can help lower blood pressure. Just dont feed it to your pets. Chocolate is toxic to dogs, cats, parrots and horses, reports Grotto.
- Coffee: Not so rich in nutrients, coffee redeems itself with "off the chart" antioxidant properties, says Grotto. Natural chemicals in coffee such as chlorogenic acids may help improve blood sugar control. And people who regularly drink coffee have a lower risk of type 2 diabetes, according to a review of several studies.
- Pecans. My favorite nut, pecans are rich in oleic acid, the same healthful fat found in olive oil. Researchers at New Mexico State University (my alma mater) found that pecans added to a heart healthy diet reduced bad LDL cholesterol more than a diet without them.
- Peppers. Chile "hot" comes from a group of phytochemicals called capsaicinoids, which act on pain receptors in the mouth and throat, says Grotto. Capsaicin applied topically as a cream has been found to be an effective treatment for painful arthritic hands.
- Romaine lettuce. Romaine contains more than five times more vitamin C than iceberg lettuce. It is also rich in lutein and zeaxanthin - substances that help fight macular degeneration in the eye. Romaine also contains salicylic acid, the same anti-inflammatory compound found in aspirin.
- Spinach. One of the richest sources of lutein - the pigment that helps protect the eyes from macular degeneration - spinach intake is also associated with a lower risk for developing cataracts. Glycolipids in spinach are powerful chemicals with properties that can fight the growth of cancer cells as well.
