Fix 'em Fridays! : Happy 5th Anniversary!

Hi!

I am so excited about this recipe for ya'll! It is oh so scrumptious and not too bad for you! I was pretty amazed at how simple this recipe is too! I was super excited to post this because not only is it super good, but I made it for my anniversary dessert! Wahoo! I plan to put a little (and when I say a little, I mean a little!) ice cream on the side with some whip cream on top to make a true dessert!

I think I'm a pretty lucky lady to have such a great guy in my life. He is my mastermind, but I take the credit. He is my wheat to my bread and the vitamins to my fruit. Without him, I am simply incomplete.

I hope you enjoy this special video!

Happy Valentines Day too! Yay!

Smile and take care of yourself!

Make it happen Mondays... or not make it happen....

Smile! And take care of yourself!

What a week!!

Oh. My. Goodness! I am so glad another week has come because last week sucked big time!!! I did a terrible job at keeping with my goals and that "special friend" came to visit which is never any fun.

I was going through my video for last monday and it was close to 20 minutes long.. that's WAY too long for ME to watch much less everyone else. I know your time is precious so I opted out on last week's video. I need to find a faster way to talk about everything I want to talk about.

Anywho, how are you all doing? Are you making any improvements on goals? Did you accomplish what you set out to do last week? I would love to hear what worked and didn't because I need a little pick me up!! hahaha!! I feel like I've moved past the first month and am losing sight of my goal! Yikes! i don't want to do that!

Tomorrow's Make it happen Monday video will be up so tune in tomorrow!

Smile! And take care of yourself!

TOPIC SPECIAL : Know your NUMBERS!!

Ever wonder why you can't lose weight? Or lose it consistently? Well, have I got a video for you! I'll be sharing how I personally count and keep track of all my numbers to get healthy, consistent long lasting results! This is a bit of a meaty post, so don't feel bad if you have to stop it, come back to it and take some notes... its good for ya, I promise!!

Now Youtube is being retarded and not letting me upload the video on the blog..sorry!

Check out the video here:       http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-HybVcDoP0

The Numbers: 

1. Current weight

2. BMR (basal metabolic rate) & BMI (Body Mass Index)

3. Total calories to eat/day (current weight x 7)

4. Total calories burned/day

5. H2O to consume (your current weight divided by 3)

6. 3,500 = 1 POUND

Examples:

There are 3 types of results depending on what numbers are in the equation. These aren't real numbers, I'm just trying to keep it simple. Basically, if you eat more than you burn, you gain (1). If you eat the same amount as you burn you stay the same or maintain (2) and if you eat less than you burn, you lose (3).

Here are the examples:

a. 3,000 (calories in) - 1,500 (Calories out) = 1,500 calories gained

b. 3,000 (calories in) - 3,000 (calories out) = 0 calories gained

c. 1,500 (calories in) - 3,000 (calories out) = 1,500 calories lost

If you aren't concerned about how many lbs you want to lose in a week, just know that you have to burn more calories than you eat to lose weight.

DOES THIS MAKE ANY SENSE?!?!?! Leave some comment love and tell me what you think!

The good, the bad and the Nasty: episode 2

First I wanted to share one of my inspirational quotes I have taped to my kitchen cupboard to start the day off..

"You're stomach shouldn't be your waste basket"

I really love these segments because I am constantly finding things I love that I want to share with ya'll! The nasty one is just the tip of the iceberg as far as nasty is concerned! Seriously, the quote above is so true!

Smile! And take care of yourself!
