Easy Way to Reduce Calories 18%

Here is an article about eggs that I wanted to share for those of you that do have eggs or egg whites in your diet.

www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2010-04/epr-eef040210.php


No surprise that protein in the morning helps with hunger, just as fiber to keep you feeling full longer but 18% is a huge!

Also these tips about hard working eyes:

1. Don't forget to blink. People tend to blink less when working at a computer, blink more to prevent dryness and irritation.

2. Your eyes need exercise too. Every 20 minutes or so look at something far away. This relaxes the focusing muscles of the eyes.

3. Give yourself a break. Get up from the computer as often as you can, even if only to stretch and look around briefly.

I am still on my diet, doing pretty good so far. I hope to see some results by next week on week 3 as I am holding at 119-120lbs and feeling good but not "tight". My sugar cravings have consisted of Altoids mints, I think that's helping me out and a few chocolate Cheerios....is that bad??? Those darn things are great with coffee, just a handful really!

Lastly I also want to share this inspirational blog today from my good friend Oksana:

Eat what your supposed to, no MORE no less

Get your workouts in, STOP the excuses

NO EXCUSES I MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

3 Minutes Of Pleasure = CELLULITE!

Be strong, and stop the temptations! (I was pretty nice with this picture)

I have just about had enough of getting bombarded with temptations and guess what?

I AM NOT TAKING IT ANYMORE! Are you?

Nope, notta, NO EXCUSES I make it happen! Again someone is selling candy bars at the office and wants me to buy....stop the madness I love chocolate!

Well that's ok, because I won't do this I am on a MISSION POSSIBLE and my body is worth it. I have been blessed enough to workout hard everyday for the last 27 years. I have had a "perfect' body and a "skinny fat" body.

My biggest challenge is nutrition = the BIGGEST EQUATION.

I would not treat my car this way, heaven knows I treat that little red sports car like my baby. Premium gas, car washes, regular maintenance. But yet, I won't do this for me......NOT ANYMORE!

Although I may be a "small size" that does not mean I am as healthy as I could be or an image that I want to portray. If your caving in with a "this or that" reason in your head, your just fooling yourself and setting yourself up for the same ole results. INSANITY and I am NOT talking Shaun T. here!

NOT ME, and I want the same for you. Just do it, just ask yourself, is this 3 minutes of pleasure on my tongue worth the CELLULITE its creating? Pull up your big girl panties and get in the GAME!

JM is still kicking my butt this month here is my workout, oh and I did get my 30 minute incline walk in yesterday too. Had a healthy dinner and NO SWEETS!
