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!

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!

Make it happen Mondays: Weigh in Day!!
Hey everyone! Welcome to Mom's for Losers first video diary post! I hope you keep coming back and supporting me to get to my goals and to yours!
I hate Mondays, but I love Mondays...its a love hate relationship for sure! I hate them because how can you beat Sundays? Really, there is no comparison. AND.. because I have to weigh myself. Not that I have been bad... it's just that battle of being patient enough to see your goals come to fruition thing. I love Mondays though, because I get to see my goals come true and I feel good starting another week chalk full of challenges! Yipee!
In this post I will... well, just watch it! Oh, and if I seem a little lack luster today, I apologize. I'm not feeling the best!
So, set some goals with me and comment below to tell me what your goals are for this week so we can help each other out, k?
Tune in on Wednesday for Mom's for Losers' "The Good, the Bad and the Nasty" segment! It's short, sweet and fun so you can get through the rest of the week!
Enjoy and take care of yourself!

Wednesday: The Good, the bad and the Nasty!!
Happy Wednesday to everyone! The weekend is almost here! Yay! Yay! Yay!
I'm happy to announce Mom's for Losers' first "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE Nasty" segment!! I will post a new video every Wednesday to show you 2 good (usually something I use myself), 1bad and 1 nasty thing that relates to health and fitness.
I thought of this idea a while ago when I was walking through the grocery store and found something so nasty (and I'm afraid I have eaten it before) and almost lost it! I will be posting what that item is next Wednesday. I want to take a picture of it first. If I had one, it would be the nasty thing this week! Eeew!
Enjoy and take care of yourself!
Smiles!
Janea
