Should We Wii?

 
So the hubs and I have been contemplating getting a Nintendo Wii since last year. For Christmas we don’t buy each other gifts, we just choose one thing for the house or for ourselves to splurge on. It was a really tight race between a new digital video camera and a Wii. Capturing our son’s precious […]

I think we all know by now all the harmful effects of drinking too much soda. How can we not, new researches come out like every year about the “dangers” of carbonated, caffeinated and sugared drinks. As for myself, I like drinking diet Pepsi or […]

Try iVillage’s Snack Swapper

Being a problogger means grabbing snack to munch on whenever you can, while in front of the computer working. That’s another habit I need to cut back on besides sugar. Chocolate Truffles, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Chocolate Chip Cookies, etc, are my enemies. I should stick with gum since you actually […]

Healthy Yogurt, Healthy Cheese

Have you noticed the competition between the special “digestive aid” yogurts and cheese? I’m baffled. I’ve always turned to yogurt to help tummy upsets, but Activia itself has always seemed suspiciously gimmicky and when I saw that there plain yogurt had flavoring added to it, I wouldn’t touch the stuff.
However, probiotics are something that I’m […]

Healthy Snacking.

As I have to wipe the Cheeto dust off my fingers to type this post, I realize that this does not really fit my post title of Healthy Snacking. LOL. In all honesty, my 16 year old was just putting away a bag of Cheetos when two dropped on the counter and somehow (mysteriously) they […]

When the Running Gets Rough. . .

On My New Goal of the Week
My one goal of the week? Saving my feet! I hate that “running burn” that I get at the gym (yes, even when speed-walking). Sometimes I want to blast my way through a workout and my feet just. hurt. Plus ladies can have problems with their feet and ankles, […]

Free At Last

To say this past week has been hectic is an understatement. Our little bug was sick and I finally, FINALLY logged in my last week at my 9-5 proper desk job. Needless to say, getting in any sort of real exercise was just not going to happen. How much weight have I lost so far? […]

Backpacking for Fitness

We are slowly digging ourselves out from the snow here in the Midwest. I found myself unable to drive anywhere and out of milk yesterday. My only other option? Well I could walk I guess…in three feet of snow…with a toddler. Even though he is walking now, letting him walk with me was just not […]

Weight Watcher Points, Progresso Soups and Other Weight Loss Notes

I’m really digging the Weight Watchers Points plan. I’m not a meetings person, but I bought the material on eBay and researched weight loss sites and forums for inspiration.
What I love most about this plan is how I can eat whatever I want as long as I stay within my point limit. 24 […]

Online Food Diaries.

A health insurance plan that I was on a few years ago had a great program to track you daily caloric intake and exercise. Unfortunately, when we changed insurance carriers, I could no longer access this service. I remember that I liked using it, and it was a great tool in helping me lose some […]
