Beat the Itchy Pest!

Mon, 27 Sep 2010 21:30:54 -0500

Not everything I blog about it pretty, but it is interesting and I hope helpful!

I love Shape magazine, they always know what issues we need more info or help on. Anyone who has kids in school right now knows all to well about the worry and anxiety associated with the Lice outbreak in our schools. What you may not know is more than 12 million ppl get this disgusting bug every year. Here’s what you can do if your child does bring home this nasty pest.

Pull your hair back into a tight bun while doing the week long treatment on your child, which consists of pulling & combing the lice & their eggs, out of your child’s hair.

Never use the same comb on anyone else’s hair that is used on the scalp with lice,

Wash your sheets, pillow cases, comforters, etcin HOT water.

To stay safe spray some cinnamon or peppermint oil on hats, coats, & scarves, to repel, even kill, the lice, and protect your child & yourself.

Remember, Lice CANNOT jump or fly, & will die in a few days if not on a scalp.

Brain Food!

Not only can spinach & leafy greens strengthen your muscles but they can fuel up your brain too! Women who took in Vitamin E from these foods were less likely to get Dementia later in life. So don’t forget to fill up on your spinach, Peanut Butter, & Avocado. You will have more energy and feel better:)

Need new Fit Kicks????

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 21:41:06 -0500

Ever wonder when your fit kicks need to be replaced, and then if they do what shoes to buy? It really is a lot of pressure, I know because I just went on the search. First off, running shoes should be replaced between 350-550 miles, and for those of you who wear your shoes for more aerobic type training, replace them every 5-7 months. Now for shoe shopping. While on the hunt, I tried on about every shoe on the shelf. I was looking for something with really good shock absorption, something that felt really comfortable with a good fit, and lets face it~ they had to be cute. I finally decided on a shoe that made my feet feel like they died and went to heaven. The Reebok RunTone. This shoe actually feels like your stepping on clouds! It absorbs impact perfectly during a run/cardio workout. Plus, RunTones are so light and comfortable, you wont want to take them off. On top of all that, with the balance ball technology, RunTones help tone and strenghthen leg muscles. What more could you ask for? Try them for yourself, you wont be disappointed!

Autumn Vegetarian Chili

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 20:42:00 -0500

Yummy Chili thats wonderful with the cool seasons approaching, and best of all is so fast, ready in about 10-15 minutes from stove to table

1 Bag Meatless Crumbles

2 Cans Low Sodium Tomato Juice

1 to 2 cans Rotel

2 Cans Chili Beans

1 Packet Chili Seasoning

Directions

Heat a saute pan and add bag of meatless crumbles. Break up the crumbles and brown. While crumbles are browning add tomato juice, Rotel, and chili beans into a kettle and heat to boiling then simmer. When the crumbles are browned, add a little water to the pan and mix in the chili seasoning packet. Stir until well mixed then add to kettle. Stir let sit on medium for about 5 minutes and presto, delicious and flavorful chili. Great for these fall nights and winter days:)

TIP~If you like noodles with your chili, just boil while preparing the chili and add to individual servings. Don’t mix in with Chili however, it wont store as well in the fridge.~

To buy organic or not to buy organic, that is the ?

Tue, 29 Jun 2010 22:27:08 -0500

In todays world there is organic everything, cleaner, chips, juice, even toilet paper,lol. Where does it end and what do we NEED to buy organic, for our health and the health of our familes. When it comes to fruits and vegetables, most of us would buy organic if we knew which items needed to be organic to be safe and healthy. Well here is some info to make shopping for your health a little easier…

The Clean Fifteen: Onions, Avocados, Sweet corn, Pineapples, Mango, Sweet peas, Asparagus, Kiwi, Cabbage,Eggplant, Cantaloupe, Watermelon, Grapefruit, Sweet potatoes, Sweet onions-the USDA has said that these fruits and veggies are safe to consume non organic….

The Dirty Dozen list:Apples, Cherries, Grapes, imported (Chili)Nectarines, Peaches, Pears, Raspberries, Strawberries, Bell peppers, Celery (Highest you may be injesting up to 67 pesticides) Potatoes, and Spinach-these are the fruits and veggies that contain the highest amounts of pesticides when they are not grown organic!!!

Fiber Filler

Fri, 18 Jun 2010 16:08:06 -0500

Hey all, a little tip for these summer months, now that we can get ample amounts of fruit & veggies in most areas of the country! Fiber is an amazing thing to increase in your diet. Weight Watchers has this all figured out, for those of you who are unfamiliar with WW points system, its simply that if your food item has increased fiber content it can bring the point value down, example 50 calories=1 point…a sandwich has 300 calories, so therefore 6 points, but wait the fiber count is 7, now that same sandwich has 4-5 points. Ok so now that we have established fiber rocks, it keep us full so much longer, helps regularity, and reduces tummy puff! Set a goal for yourself to eat 25 grams of filling fiber each day! Where to get it? Try some of these delicious fresh unsuspecting choices

1 Large Tomato=2 grams, 1 Red Bell Pepper=3 grams, 1 Peach=3 grams, 1 Ear of corn=3 grams, 1 Cup Blueberries=4 grams, & 1 Cup Raspberries=8 grams.

Come Back From The Binge;)

Tue, 15 Jun 2010 21:31:08 -0500

Its not the end of the world, but it can feel like it. So you went off the deep end and stuffed it all in, everything you could find, maybe its healthy or maybe its not, too much food is still too much. Don’t freak though, here’s a five step trick from Shape Magazines weight loss coach, that I had to share.

1) Do a reality check~As full as you feel, it still takes 3,500 EXTRA calories to gain 1 pound.

2) Drink Water~When a binge happens, drink 8-10 glasses of water to flush all the sodium thats causing you to puff & water helps you feel thinner

3) Don’t quit eating~Starving yourself to make up for the feast you’ve just downed not only slows your metabolism but prompts another binge later

4) Fill up on your Fiber~Eating too many wrong things can make your body constipate. Fuel up on fiber to keep your system running clean and bloating down

5) Sweat it off & out~Work off as many extra calories as possible but just simply extending your workout by 15 minutes or parking farther from work.

Negative Calories

Fri, 11 Jun 2010 15:38:24 -0500

So is there any truth in some foods have negative calories, like Celery? Nope, sorry peeps, but the answer is NO! However, some foods take more energy to digest and metabolize. These foods are usually low-cal & High Fiber. That means the fiber will fill you up, but your calories will be low. So when you get full on fiber from low calorie foods, you will most likely lose weight because your not eating high calorie snacks and meals.

Working out @ home;)

Thu, 10 Jun 2010 22:12:14 -0500

I hear a lot, I only have the option/time to workout at home, YUCK! What? working out at home is amazing. You save money, can make your own schedule, and change your life. PPl are constantly making excuses, I find it easy to fall into that pit too, but STOP. There are so many options for at home workouts that will change your life and your body. In this economy its easy to drop that gym membership to save money, but that doesnt mean stop working out. That is that last thing you should ever do. Exercise helps prevent and treat depression, and gaining weight only makes us feel worse. So follow these steps to succeed at @ home workouts and check out beach body for help.

1) Find what will motivate you to get your butt off the sofa

2) Put on your workout cloths before anything, this way you know working out is next on your list after your “chores” are through

3) Find a buddy to keep you accountable. A friend you can call to say what did you do today or a beach body coach who will keep you motivated and accountable
