Cauliflower Licorice Root Tea Chick Peas Quinoa

Choose items from the menu that you know are balanced and would not be overdoing it. Salads, baked potato, maybe a steamed vegetable platter. You can always improvise. Get the burger not the fries. Don't eat the bread. Get the steak, don't eat the rice that comes with it. Drink the free water instead of getting soda. Get a…

His camera. Woo Hoo! :)

I craved ice cream for almost two weeks before I just decided to break down and have it and guess what, it was so worth it. Every now and again is not that bad.

That is so funny. A few days ago, I came across it for the first time and used a 30 kelttlebell class from Blender n Youtube. That was good too. Here is the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pDMOIlPLFE&list=FL7x0BU65HnL3ivSoarAJphQ

Today I am proud that I went to the store seeking to buy specific items which the store did not have available to me and I left the store without buying anything else. I actually stuck to the plan. Go me!!!

Wow! Tha tis a big change. You did great. I am so happy to see that the path a person chooses to take can really be beneficial in their lives as you have displayed. Very inspiring. Keep it up. You can do anything you put your heart to.

I find a lot of smoothie recipes on Pinterest and have made different smoothies based on those recipes. I pinned some of them on my board that you might like. Here is the link http://pinterest.com/musiqal1/smoothiediva/

I got rid of half of the things in my closet because suddenly my size 18 suits, dresses, pants, skirts and shirts no longer fit. So I went to the store to replace some of the things that no longer fit and I had fit into a 12 perfectly except for one sz 12 pair of pants that were on a deep discount which I couldn't help but…

I have a desk job doing data entry and also analyzing confidential information which pays the bills. But my dream job is to be on a large stage somewhere singing my heart out in front of a plethora of people who like what they hear so much they roo tme on and request for club owners and venue management to have me back. I…

MY nutritionist told me that I should try to aim to for a 1200 calorie diet which I try to maintain. It is not easy as I sometimes go over but some days I am under even with snacking. Protein is the one thing that will keep you full. I hardly eat rice, pasta and bread and have also been aiming for gluten free foods that do…

I was thinking that you have to be burnign a lot of caloris with kettlebells considering how much heavy breathing you do just after a few minutes into a kettlebell circuit. My air passages just opened up and it was like breathing like I never breathed before. I guess that must be a real true blessing on my heart huh? My…

I pass up eating out to avoid getting the things I want that will not help me to achieve my goals. So instead, I cook almost everything I eat. Ironically, I wanted shrimp so bad today for dinner and was so tempted to come home and fry some shrimp even though I had talapia for lunch. But instead, I came home and stuffed a…

I had a smoothie for breakfast which I have been trying to do more often now and I did not get hungry or really tempted for a snack. So I instead decided to have a cup of tea. It was more of a boredom at work thing than hungry. But I survived the day and I did well.

I think we all gained weight around the Christmas Holiday so don't feel alone in this. My mom always has a plethora of family over d=uring the holidays and cooks more food than is needed. Can you imagine eating dinner foods for breakfast and lunch and dinner just because it is there. That was me. But you know what, we all…

Almost as if you are about to sit, squat down as low as you can go but make sure to not let your knees to go above your feet when you are doing it. Sit back. Another option which I found to really and truly burn was to do squats with a kettlebell. I think I enjoy that most now.

You know, I have been cooking with Quinoa for about two months now and the experience gets better and better. It should not be nutty. IT is supposed to be boiled like rice until it is soft. But just the other day, I was in ShopRite and found Quinoa in a box with different flavors, They had oil and garlic, mushroom and…

A smile is always one of the sexiest curves on us woman and she is not afraid to flaunt it.

That is an awesome accomplishment though. You have really done a great thing. Good luck in reaching your goal. I know you will make it. God bless!

Since last week, I have been juicing almost every day and replacing a meal with it. I was concerned about it not kepeing me full too but I have to say it does. Depeds on the ingredients added I think. Protein is usually what sustains us. So add a good amount of protein to whatever you want to juice. This morning, I added…

I like them too but I am not an every day consumer of the C's because there are so many other great things to snack on. But you know what, when I first started my new lifestyle I have to say it wasn't by choice. My body was acting weird and I was gettign sick. I guess the most I've ever weighed in my life was starting to…

I just found a great recipe to make zucchini and I love them even more now. Zucchini chips is the name of the dish. You slice the zucchini up and put them in a plate. In a bowl, add 2 tbsp of low-fat milk and add garlic powder and salt to it. In another dish, add breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese. I like to use panko. Dip…

Yes! I heard the best way to eat them are raw. Use them to eat as a the leaves for yoru salad and add your tomoateos and other toppings to it. I am not the best at cookign them even though I love ocllards, but when I do cook them, I add a little salt and garlic and boil. Don't boil for too long htough because it will lose…

I was just wondering about htis because I went and did a search to find out how much you burn doinga kettlebell circuit. All the sites I visited says 400 calories per 20 minute workout. I did about 30 minutes. Is it really acurate to say that in 20 minutes, I burned 600 calories doing the circuit? The funny thing is, I…

I love salads. I like to add chick peas, black olives, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, roasted peppers and feta. I usually do not add meat to them and substitute with maybe fish, seafood, beans or nuts.

You look godd . . . now. (Made me wonder - oh so in other words, when I was a little bigger, I was an ogre?) Was nice to hear but makes you think you know.

I always love the name Maya for a girl. For a boy, Xavier.

I don't know. For me, singing always gets my emotions out. Most people do not believe that singing is an exercise but the vocal chords are a muscle. When I sing on stage, after one song, I sweat almost as much as i I were running for ten minutes. So crazy. But when I sing, I dance too, especially in performance mode.…

I agree. Working out requires dedication and how can you focus on your task at hand when your attention is everywhere else. Makes sense. Focus and then play later.
