Healthy Weight Loss

cara · 04-11-2012, 10:06 PM

My exercise plans have been put to the side momentarily while I rest my knee, which has decided to hurt in a very bad way. I think I was doing too much too hard and the snowshoeing adventure (the first one) really did me in. I'll get better, but in the meantime, OW!

Good luck, all!

Snowshoeing is on my bucketlist...I'm impressed! Rest up, I hope you feel better very soon! Knee pain blows!

Recently I posted that I had suddenly gained three pounds. Well, my period started the very next morning!!

I have to keep reminding myself:

Hormones make weight patterns go wacky
The trajectory of weight loss often goes like this: - 2 + 1 - 2 +1 etc.

Have a beautiful weekend!

hear on my local news channel this morning how red wine helps assist to lose weight for WOMEN...wtf?? I was totally blown away by the promotion of use of alcohol to lose weight...at the end of the segment they said "it has something to do with the grapes and how they assist in keeping fat cells from developing"

personally i cannot drink wine due to the sulfates and becoming or being an alcoholic no thank you

What i clearly misunderstood here was why they just didn't promote grapes???

reaching my goal one pound at a time from the inside out.

I like grapes thus i will be researching the greatness of them sometime today whilst bored at work im sure.

Coffee has high antioxidants and nutrients. It can be healthy minus the milk, sugar, artificial sweeteners, and cream.

Coffee at the coffee shop can add you 400 calories in one coffee. Ask for it unsweetened and then add your own stevia.

Instead of sugar try organic maple syrup, stevia, or real full-fat organic cream, coconut milk, cinnamon, or organic unsweet cocoa powder for added flavor and sweetener. Black is always best. :P

I think someone asked about this.. Coconut milk is loaded with super healthy saturated fats called medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are known to boost your immune system and your metabolism!

Challenge for the weekend: Try a healthy alternative and something new with your coffee!

Have a happy Friday the 13th healthies and a wonderful weekend!
