Counting Calories

So do you find it hard to count your calories? OMG I have found the answer for you. Do you have a smart phone? If not that is a discussion for later date. However, if you do have an Iphone or other devices download an app called Myfitnesspal. It is free an amazing. I put in my weight goal, and it gave me a daily calorie intake goal. Not sure how many calories in your meal? not a problem. All you have to do is type in your restaurant and it will pull up the menu, find your meal and hit add to dairy. Not sure how many calories you burned on your workout? again not a problem key what you did and for how long and it will tell you what you burned..

Go forth and lose weight!!

Almost there

I am almost there.. Almost where? Where I was intended to be. I am excited to see things unfold. I am more dedicated now than I have ever been. The boutique is coming together. The weight loss challenge is going well, and my home life is blessed. So when I say I am almost there that means I can see God's plan for my life manifesting, so I am going to continue to ride this wave out...

Peace and Blessings......

Just a few items to look forward to from the Boutique....

Healthly Living

So I have to say that I am loving my life right now. I am happy about my weight loss process. I have lost 17lbs thus far and this is how:

1. I eliminated all the fatty foods from my life. No more Junk foods. No more Fast Foods. I have cook almost everyday and when I haven't cooked I have managed to eat healthy. Eating out is not as hard as I thought it would be.  I order what my heart desires however, without all the extra trimmings. One condiment, no cheeses, no desserts, and no soda.

2. I cleaned out my refrigerator. I have tossed out all the sweets, cheeses, trans fat butters, whole milks, eggs, and meats with fats. I have opted to have egg whites, berries, non fat yogurts, non fat cheese, more green vegetables, soy milk, lean beef, lean turkey, fruits, and brown rice.  No more juices because of all the sugar, instead I bought a water 20oz water bottle, that I carry to work, working out, and around the house.

3. I work out at least three days a week for at least 45mins. I start off with stretching for five minutes. Then I do 15mins on the bike, 30min or the treadmill, and 50-100 crunches. I have recently increased the incline through out my workouts, as well as I added 5lbs weights to my ankles.

All these things are helping me get to my 50lb goal by July!!!   Side note: a glass of wine a week can't hurt.... :)
