Shake to Lose Weight

Never know what to eat that is healthy and will help you lose weight? Neither did I til a few years ago, but this book has totally changed me and the things I eat.

Here is the secret–a chocolate peanut butter shake! I eat it everyday that I can for lunch. It is a chocolate peanut butter shake that contains protein (I use chocolate or vanilla), milk, cocoa, peanut butter, and fructose. All “normal” foods, as I call them, that can be found in most households (except the fructose which can be found a local health food stores or places that have bulk foods).

Just put everything in a Magic Bullet, add ice and blend away. You can make just one serving for yourself and it is really easy clean up. It is soooo easy and soooo good–not like those gross protein shakes you have to choke down! I eat this everyday and I actually look forward to it!

Check out this book at amazon.com and get yourself prepared to lose weight! And right now you can get free 2-day shipping by signing up for amazon prime (free 1 month trial).

Walk Yourself Ready for Summer

The weather is warming up and that can only mean one thing for exercise enthusiasts…finally, we can do some workouts outside!!! After months and months of only having the option to go to the gym to workout, it is so refreshing to change it up and do some workouts outside. Running, walking, biking, hiking, swimming, waterskiing, etc, are all great outdoor activities that will get your heart rate up and help you burn calories. Utilize these few months where the days are warm but not too hot yet. You won’t regret getting outside and smelling the flowers that are starting to pop up.

Here are a few things you can use to help maximize your outdoor exercise.

Get yourself a pedometer to track how far you have walked, how many calories you’ve burned, and how many steps you’ve taken. This helps you to track your progress and motivates you to do more.

This particular pedometer has:

a unique dual sensor technology so it can be carried in your pocket or bag
accurately measures your steps, as well as aerobic steps and minutes, measures calorie consumption during your workout, as well as the distance you’ve traveled
an easy-to-read LCD display
comes with a detachable belt holder and security strap

Have you tried the Shape Ups from Sketchers? They are a shoe that is designed to help you shape up while you walk.

Shape Ups are also designed to:

promote weight loss
strengthen the back
firm calf and buttock muscles
reduce cellulite and tone your thighs
increase cardiovascular health
improve posture
reduce stress on knee and ankle joints

To find out more of the product features go here. So get yourself some new shoes and get out and go walking. You will feel yourself getting more tone and burning more calories with the Skechers Shape Ups.

Make sure you aren’t leaving the house to go exercising without water. You need to stay hydrated–especially as the days begin to get hot. Get yourself a good water bottle–and not one of those disposable ones you buy at the grocery store.

This particular water bottle from CamelBak:

easy sipping, no spilling and BPA FREE
quick flip close – folds flush and stays clean when not in use.
one hand usage – just flip up the Big Bite Valve and sip. No tipping required.
adapts to other bottles – -standard cap size allows our lid to fit other bottles

For more product specification go here.

So make the commitment today to get yourself outside and exercise while it’s nice weather!

Change What You Wear

Whether you’ve been on your weight loss program for awhile or just starting, it’s important that you consider getting rid of that old wardrobe and buying new clothes that show off your progress. The great thing about doing this is that even though we don’t feel like we’re losing a lot people around us will see the slightest changes if we are wearing clothes that fit our bodies better. And the nice thing about people noticing is that our confidence and commitment increase with each new compliment. Don’t go out and buy a bunch of new things because chances are we’re not at our goal weight yet. So buy a couple shirts and a couple pairs of jeans and see how it goes for you.

If you are struggling with what to buy use these tips:

Buy vintage cut or style sweaters or shirts. This style will show off your arms and chest but will usually hang loose at the waist.
Buy dark colors
Vertical stripe clothing is a great way to look and feel slimmer and it also stretches you out making you feel taller.
Guys buy boot cut jeans and girls buy jeans that show your curves but don’t feel like you’re running out of oxygen, also girls wearing guy cut jeans are in right now so try that as long as there not way bagging in the butt.
Girls buy light cardigan sweaters or Boucle to make you look and feel sexy without showing many curves. V-necks, scoops, and off the shoulder styles are great ideas of what’s “in” right now.

You’re going to have to get out of your comfort zone a bit on this so go ahead and be brave. Take someone with you that has a sense of style and will be honest with you on how you look.

Keep at it!

Work Off Weight at Work

Are you one who sits all day at a computer either for work or for play? Doesn’t it make you feel lazy? Do you feel yourself hunching over for the rest of the day? Living in this age of technology most of us use a computer everyday–some for just a short amount of time and others for periods of 5 hours or longer.

Regardless of how long we spend on the computer or at a desk each day, it always seems to take its toll on our bodies–mostly our core and our backs. Now you can get a great workout in while at the office or at home–by using a chair made out of a big ball. Sound like fun? It is.

It used to be recommended to sit on a stability ball to help your core muscles stay engaged all day while you try and balance yourself on it. Now the stability ball has improved to an actual chair. So now you can roll on wheels and the ball at the same time. Talk about a balancing act. This balance ball chair is great for any workspace or home office. It helps strengthen your back and your core muscles while you sit. It relieves tension in your back and improves spinal alignment so that you feel more comfortable while sitting. The ball is removable so it can be used for other stability ball exercises that can be found in this Fat to Firm Fitness Ball Workout for Dummies. There are different sizes of stability balls and you choose one based on your height.

This particular balance ball chair is created for people 5′-5′11″ with a 300lb maximum and comes in 4 different colors. Regular stability balls
come in a variety of sizes and colors as well. Make sure you get one that is best suited for your height so that you get the best results. Now you have no more excuses as to why you don’t have great abs!

hCG to Lose Weight?

What is hCG and why does everyone keep talking about it?

Here is a brief overview of it. It is a hormone that is present in pregnant women

You can inject it, rub it, or take drops under the tongue. You don’t need a prescription for it.

You do have to be on a very strict diet when taking this hormone–only 550 calories a day! Doesn’t sound like very much does it. So how is this a good way to lose weight if you are essentially starving yourself? What it does is mobilizes the fat in the body and the body uses that as calories and energy and the fat melts away. People who have taken it say that they don’t ever feel hungry during the day even though they are only eating 550 calories.

Sounds too good to be true, right? Fat melting away? Not ever hungry? Well it might be to good to be true. Just like any diet it is not guaranteed for everyone. Even though it is safe for men and women it has NOT been approved by the FDA because it hasn’t been fully tested.

side effects may include headaches, blood clots, and depression–all of which are printed on the side of the bottle.

Like any other dietary supplement, consult your physician before taking any medicine to help you lose weight.

Any one taken it? Did it work for you?

Inexpensive Workout Equipment

Too busy to make it to the gym today? Try getting a workout in at home. And I don’t mean putting in one of those old 70’s workout videos either. They are way too long and and really outdated.

Take control of your own workout and get yourself some basic workout equipment so that when you are too busy or too tired to make it to the gym you can pull out your workout equipment and get in a powerful but short workout. Whether you’re just beginning or you’ve been working out for awhile, these pieces of equipment are a must in order to have success in either losing weight or keeping the weight off.

This equipment includes:

- A Swiss (exercise) ball

- Exercise bands (preferably different weights)

- Medicine Ball (6 or 8 lbs)

- Jump Rope

If your day gets too busy and you’re unable to make it to the gym then having these things in our home will give you the chance to still get a great workout at home. When buying these items look for ones that include workouts with them that way you have workouts that require them.

This workout equipment is fairly inexpensive but priceless when it comes to those days we can’t make it to the gym.
