I made this for a friends welcome home party. super cute. 

Every day this week I have had dreams of hot celebrities… (Russell Brand more then once.) Sweep me off my feet and tell me how great I look, that they can really see my 6pack coming along nicely, or how toned my calfs look. Does this count as a good single that I am crazy?

Just look at him all sexy like eating healthy food.. this folks is porn to me. lol

I didn’t get a chance to weigh in this week, but nothing will stop me from going next week. I do feel lighter though if that counts. 

On a funny/brighter note… My little brother (k so he is 23 not so little) watched that TV show american ninja. He now works out with me everyday to become a Canadian Ninja. I have a running buddy yay!

Keep Your Spice Rack Full

It is a great idea to make sure your pantry is jam packed with a variety of herbs, spices, and seasonings. It is a great way to add additional flavour without additional calories! 

This summer… herb garden. 

This was a hard one for me to learn to love. But after changing my eating habbits I have changed my taste buds. This is one of the most yummy leafs in my opinion. 

I don’t drink milk, so I learned to love this veggie as a calcium supplement. Almost 10% of spinach is calcuim. However because of its chemical make up the body can only absorb roughly 5% of that 10. So eat lots! 

It is also a great thing for people with iron deficiency. It is a great source of vitamens, magnessium, antioxidants, protein and folic acid.

And as Popeye had taught us all its a power food that will make your biceps huge! 

I don’t really have much to say about last week. My life wasn’t to thrilling. I did survive girls weekend without gaining so that was good. We had a really great time. 

I didn’t make it to my ww meeting this week. I had a planning meeting for a Girl Guide camp I am going on it 2 weeks. 

 minus today and add weekend. 

I did send out a lot of emails asking people to send me their Project Positive photos and so far no reply. PLLLLLEEEASSSE HHHHEEELLLPPP ME!

Out Smart the Label

Please read EVERYTHING. Marketing companies don’t care about our well being they care about our wallets. Just because something says healthy doesn’t mean it is. If a product has the Weight Watchers logo on it it DOES NOT mean that it is endorsed by WW. It means a company bought the rights to calculate points. They food is still jam packed with saturated fats and sodium. 

A supplement will not give you abs, a drink will not turn you into an athlete and an energy bar will not make you run faster… hard work will.

Let’s get smart!

Everything you usually make for burritos or tacos…. go here for ideas  http://thewritebite.tumblr.com/post/8864783416/fast-food-at-home-burritos 
10 inch whole wheat tortillas.

Ok so this is super simple, but super cute and fun. 

Take your tortilla and place it over an upside down bowl… microwave for about 3 minutes. (might need more depending on desired crunchy-ness!) Then it will look somewhat like this…

Fill it up and yummy. 

So cute right?

Everywhere you read it says drink water… but do you really know why?? 

Top Reasons to drink water:
1. Weight loss - Washes away the by-products of fat breakdown. It keeps sodium and salt retention to a minimum, and it helps with curbing your appetite.
2. Headache Remedy - Dehydration is a big cause to aches and pains
3. Pretty Skin
4. Your more productive
5. Smiles and mood improvement - a hydrated body is a happy one 
6. Less injury - Water lubes your joints and muscles that reduces the amount of sprains you will get.
7. Helps you stay regular
8. Flushes harmful toxins
9. Keeps your hormones more balanced
10. Regulation of body temperature. 

Women should be getting 9 glassed a day and men 13. Bottoms up folks

oh yah its zero points lol

Adding a new segment to my blog! Eat this Not that! Every Saturday I will have some restaurant/fast food/coffee shop where I will find somthing to shock you!

This saturdays will be a drink this not that… Starbucks.

A Venti White Chocolate Mocha is worse then a Quarter Pounder with Cheese from McDonald’s.  Here are the nutritional facts.

Calories 550 
Total Fat 18g 
Sodium 350mg
Total Carbohydrate 89g
Dietary Fiber 0g
Protein7g

That is 15 weight watchers points plus… Yikes! If you take off the whip and get it non fat milk you are at 11. Still waaay more then I would like to drink.

A good replacement for a blended drink would be Non Fat Mocha Frappuccino.For a Venti serving it is 5 points. Good for a cool summer treat!

*Side note while reading the menu I just discovered that Starbucks makes chai frapp. Um I may be using some of my weekly fun points to sample that!

Question: what does 13 hour days 5 days a week get you…SICK

Argh. I feel like poop. But this week lots of good things happened. 

1. Our new business is up and running, our first job was today. yay
2. Its mothers day on Sunday that always means super yummy food.
3. I stayed the exact same weight this week, and my new ww buddy was down! Success. 
4. I tired on an xs shirt at Walmart and it was too big.
5. I am going camping with my lovely girly friends this weekend. All of us are weight watchers or healthy people so it will be great fun.

Have a great weekend everyone!

The following is exactly how I feel

Best idea ever!!

We make this for mothers day every year… so what a perfect week to put this up.

All you need is two things. 1 can of crushed pineapple and 1 can of angel food cake.

Mix it together and bake it a can pan at 350 for 15-20 minutes. I serve with Cool-Whip.

Your house will still smell good if you burn it too!! Not that I am speaking from experience or anything….
