Walk Today at Lunch

Been walking at lunch the 2-3 times a week for the past three weeks now. It's been such a nice change and helps to break up the day. Today we walk to the reserve, equalling 5700 steps round trip :-) Yesterday we walked down to SIO, so beautiful.

Eat Clean- Something New To Check Out

Something new to check out and a great way to change up the way we eat. I tried some of the recipes and love them, especially the guilt free pancakes.

Searching For Low Fat

Happy Monday Morning! We are just over a week away from Thanksgiving and I'm on the hunt for a low fat cheesecake recipe. In my search for a low fat recipe I happen to find this really cool site called RecipeGirl.com, http://www.recipegirl.com/. I'm looking forward to exploring this site and finding some new low fat recipes. So far I've seen that the recipes not only include the calorie count but how much the food is in Weight Watcher points. Score!

Getting Clolse to the Holidays

It's getting close to the holidays and it's time to not overeat. It will be a hard task but I know it can be done. I wanted to share a new workout I'm going to try. This workout is currently offered at Taekwondo studio I train at. It's called Warrior X Fit, http://www.warriorxfit.com/ , I'm so excited to try it out. This workout is something you can do at home too. Hoping this will help with my training and fisical fitness test. The Taekwondo studio I train at is http://www.churchsmartialarts.com/ , the kettlebells (http://www.kbinstructor.com/) workout on Wednesday night is one of my favorite classes.

Throughout the holidays my goal is to find low fat recipes or turn my current recipes into low fat recipes. This is something my family will love.

Coffee Roasting

Hi to all my coffee loving friends!

I hope all of you are enjoying your Friday and looking forward to the weekend. As most of you know my dad and I love to roast our own coffee beans, yummy! I wanted to share the site where my dad and I get our beans from and where we go the coffee roaster.

Please visit http://sweetmarias.com/ . We have the iRoast2 from sweetmarias http://sweetmarias.com/prod.hearthwareiRoast2.shtml .

Once you start roasting your own coffee beans you'll never go back! It's the best!

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Water Bottles

Happy Monday!
I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. I got to hang out with a good friend on Sunday and we were talking water bottles. I don't know about you but I'm ready to make the switch from throwing away and using plastic water bottles and finding a good reusable water bottle.

Here are some environmentaly friendly water bottles I've discovered.

Organic Face Products & Sunscreen

Good Moring! My sister Jane sent a couple of links to me in regards to organic face products and sunscreen.

Jane gets her face moisturizer from http://www.healthfoodemporium.com/. She uses items from the Miessence line, it is certified in Australia as being organic. They also have makeup, lotions, body care, etc.

Thank you Jane for the information :-)
