Congratulations Courtney B.
Pretty soon many people that have started their New Years resolutions start giving up. I haven't done great yet, but I am not giving up. I remember making the resolution three years ago to get healthy and I did it....So I know I can do it again! It is just time to really get serious about it and get motivated.
I was planning on following the 30 day guide from "Get Off the Couch Potato" by Kathi Casey, but I was a couch potato this week. I only exercised twice all week. So I am starting over again this week and WILL do it this time. My husband also reminded me to get back using the Wii and doing my hula hooping again. (you know while he sits and watches me wiggle my butt lol) So I think I am going to challenge myself to do that again...I think I am going to aim for once a day. I need to tighten up on my diet also. I slacked off over the weekend. So this week I am going to actually weight myself and get going.
Mamavation Blogging Carnival question: What are your latest healthy food discoveries?
This week mamavation is sponsored by The Chia Co. One thing I actually have been doing lately is adding Chia to my oatmeal. I let it soak in a little warm milk first while my oatmeal is cooking. It gives it another texture and flavor to my oatmeal. I like sweetening my oatmeal by adding in a little dried cranberries. This is the only way I have tried it...so if anyone has any other recipes let me know.
One other thing I do like is orange juice this time of year. The family starts getting colds, and to me OJ something that is comforting and good way to fight them. On the same hand I shouldn't drink so much calories. So I was happy when I was asked to try out Trop50.

I haven't tried it yet, but will be soon. Tropicana Trop50 is just 50 calories per 8 ounce serving.
Each 8-ounce glass of Trop50 squeezes in a full day’s supply of vitamin C and is also a good source of antioxidant vitamin E. Sounds like a good option to me!

ReplyDeleteI am going to have to try Chia. Everyone seems to love it. I would fuss at you to get off the couch, but I know what it is like when you just need to do that. Tomorrow is another day!!
