Holiday Drinks

Admin — Tue, 15 Nov 2011 15:27:32 +0000

Dr. Weil says to avoid drinking too many eggnog drinks during the holidays because of the high calorie content.

Eggnog: Made with milk, cream, sugar and eggs, eggnog can pack up to 460 calories in an eight-ounce serving – not including calories from alcohol. Think of it as an indulgent dessert and limit yourself during the holidays; sip it slowly to savor the taste.

If you must have one of these drinks make sure it’s a small serving, and have only one :)

I finished my Extreme Body Fitness class and I’m pleased with the results. I lost seven inches overall!! Pretty good huh? The class was very hard but I’m going to start a new one next week so I’m looking to lose even more. I also still do the aquafit classes at least four days a week just to mix it up. I love the YMCA!!

Did you know the YMCA has free classes that you can attend when you’re a member? I’ve been going to the aqua-fit classes six days a week for the last 5 months and I love them!! Tomorrow I’m starting a new class called Extreme Body Fitness and I heard it’s really hard, two people actually threw up after their first class last time they had it so I’m kinda scared! I’ll let you know how it goes….

Hemp Milk

Admin — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:37:42 +0000

I finally tried Hemp milk and I really didn’t like it too much!I had it with some Fiber One cereal and each bite tasted worse and worse, I thought I was gonna be sick by the time I got to the last bite!! I wanted to give it another try though so the next day I tried it with a nutrition shake and it wasn’t bad. So I guess it depends on what you eat it with. That’s just my opinion, try it for yourself and see how you like it and let me know.

Wen Hair Care Products

Admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 19:07:58 +0000

I was watching the commercial on TV about Wen hair products and I was blown away with all the testimonials of these folks that use the Wen hair care.

It’s a shampoo and conditioner in one and it looks like their hair in the commercial is really shinny and manageable. Also they were saying that it’s the best hair treatment especially when you always color your hair.

Many times your hair will get damaged and Wen hair products will help to make your hair look great again. You can also search on YouTube and find some great Wen hair care reviews so you can be confident before you even consider purchasing Wen hair care or Wen hair care products.

Jamaica is Edible

Admin — Thu, 06 May 2010 20:13:35 +0000

A Hibiscus flower that you can make into tea is also edible. I had no idea!! I saw them at Trader Joes and they kinda taste like a fruit roll up. The one from Trader Joes has cane sugar in it so I just use the flowers to make tea then I let them dry out a bit and we eat them for snacks. Without sugar they are a little tart but just as I said in another post about the tea they are full of Vitamin C, it controls high blood pressure, helps with digestive problems,
and improves circulatory disorders. So it’s a good healthy little snack.
