Sweaty & Sassy: Your body is a product of your lifestyle.:

sweatnsass:

On a daily basis, in my current work environment, I encounter people who want to do nothing but complain about the way that they are and yet do nothing to change it. They ‘accept’ that this is the way nature intended their body to be. How very wrong they are. Nature doesn’t force feed you coffee…

Healthy is fabulous: These "Healthy Foods" are High In Sugar:

healthyisfabulous:

Whole-grain cereal and English muffins don’t scream sweet, yet these and other seemingly healthful foods can be sugar minefields. “During the fat-free craze of the ’80s and ’90s, manufacturers removed fat from packaged foods and replaced it with sugar to make up for the lack of taste,” Farrell…

creatinghealth:

Stay away from high glycemic foods. Foods that carry high glycemic loads are more likely to make you hungry faster. The foods will cause an increase in your blood sugar which then starts a cycle of the body releasing insulin to aid in the rise in blood sugar and insulin also helps to store the excess sugar as fat. The body will then become low in blood sugar and you will be hungry again. A study out of University of Massachusetts found that those who ate foods high on the glycemic scale weighed significantly more than those who did not.

slimsophomore:

I was really shocked when I found out that my favorite sandwich that took 2 minutes to make contained 1/4 of my daily calorie intake; 500 calories! But by switching out the ingredients, it almost cuts the calorie intake in half and you can hardly tell by how it tastes!

Need to remember this! Unfortunately for me I love PB&J!

Just saying, white bread only has 70 calories per slice. Which would make the first one 440. Still a lot, but lower.

Zest Article: Four fast ways to shape up…

Lunges, Squats, Running & Stomach Crunches they say…

…let’s be honest, there is no ‘fast’ answer to anything, but I have to agree that lunges really do make you feel the difference quite suddenly. I’ve always said that lunges are a girl’s best friend.

I’m redefining their suggestions as follows:

always use hand weights when you do your lunges.

squat with hand weights or use the machines at the gym to add even more weight to your squats.

speed intervals will get your fitness level up, burn more fat and won’t take as much time out of your day.

forget crunches. I’d replace this suggestion with core stability exercises with a fitness ball.

the path to fitness and happiness: Yoga progress, feeling stronger:

healthyfitandfree:

I have been doing yoga for about 2 months now, and I have already felt a difference.

I feel much more relaxed. Stronger. More flexible.

Because it works on your physical and emotional states. It allows your mind to reconnect with your body and how you are…

Why Almonds are Amazing

THEY’VE GOT…

* protein and fiber to fill

* vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant

* magnesium, a mineral your body needs to:

—> produce energy

—> build and maintain muscle tissue

—> regulate blood sugar (helps to curb cravings which will in turn prevent overeating and eventually weight gain)

AND!

* an interesting ability to block calories!

“Research indicates that the composition of their cell walls may help reduce the absorption of all of their fat, making them an extra-lean nut.” [Medical News Today]

HOW MUCH TO EAT?

* An ounce a day (about 23 almonds)

* That’s approximately 160 calories

* An empty Altoids tin will hold the perfect amount!
