Eat your way to a thinner you!On The Fast Metabolism Diet you’re going to eat a lot, and still lose weight. What you’re not going to do is count a single calorie or fat gram. Instead, you’re going to rotate what you’re eating throughout each week according to a simple and proven plan carefully designed to induce precise physiological changes that will set your metabolism on fire.

• PHASE ONE (Monday-Tuesday): Lots of carbs and fruits
• PHASE TWO (Wednesday-Thursday): Lots of proteins and veggies
• PHASE THREE (Friday-Saturday-Sunday): All of the above, plus healthy fats and oils
• Repeat for four weeks!

Each Phase focuses on different whole, healthy foods to calm your adrenal glands, reduce stress on your liver, and feed your thyroid so it can produce the hormones T3 and T4, the superstars of a fast metabolism. You’ll reduce stress, too—and as a result, put the damper on the belly-fat hormone, cortisol. By keeping your metabolism guessing, you’ll get it working faster. This isn’t just a theory; it’s the results-based product of Haylie Pomroy’s successful programs. It’s worked for celebrities, for athletes and for people with chronic illnesses who need to lose weight, doctor’s orders. Now it’s going to work for you!

                             My personal thoughts:
At first i wasn't sure about this book. Most health and diet books i have read in the past have been boring and hard to understand. Haylie really breaks everything down and explains why we need to eat this and stay away from that. (I will never eat wheat and corn again! )
This isn't your normal restricted, calorie counting diet. You are given the do's and dont's, a list of foods you can eat as well as recipes and also a map of what your meals should look like for each phase (and what exercises too!) . She is really positive and motivating throughout the book. I love when she said that DIET stands for: Did i eat today as in:
Did i eat every three to four hours?
Did i eat within half hour of waking today?
Did i eat according to my phase today?
Did i eat enough complex carbohydrates?

I see dieting a whole new way now and I'm happy i was given this experience by shespeaks to be one of the first to read it.

feb update!

Hello!!
I am sorry I haven't been updating everyday like I planned to do. I was actually blogging last week or the week before? ( I cant remember I've been so busy!) My son ended up getting sick and throwing up and once he was over that I had to pick him up from school because he had a bad stomach bug then I was sick. So here i am now.
Ive actually lost 5 pounds since i started my work outs which I'm so happy ! :)

Some NSV's from this week that i want to share:
1. Saturday i made 2 dozen cupcakes. I ate two then gave away the rest.
2. Today i made some blueberry and triple berry muffins. I tried one of each for breakfast and gave away the rest.

how i look trying to do push-ups

how i feel.




Thanks for reading and don't forget to drink your water!

Day 2:Balance (1-6-13)

Today is day two of my workout journey. Balance is such a difficult thing for me! Those who know me know that i am the most UN-balanced (is that even a word?) person! Seriously i cannot walk with out tripping,falling or running into something! ha ha

So today's struggle was balance with my lunges and Cris-cross squats ( I don't know the proper name. You Cris cross your legs one in front one in back and squat holding your weights out to your side) Yes, i make up my own names for things when I cant remember :) These things kick my butt!

Also I found a really good recipe on pinterest for apples.



Today I would like to introduce you to the most awesome raw apple snack ever. First a disclaimer, I am not liable if you decide to eat this apple snack every day for the rest of your life. A huge bowl of this apple snack was eaten by a group in minutes – it really is that good. And the best part? It takes only 3 fruits and 2 minutes prep to make

What’s even better about this snack is the healthy nutrition! You are eating a full apple plus the amazing juice of an orange and lemon. Think of the vitamins, minerals and antioxidants and most of all…think of the children! This is a perfect after-school snack because it takes a minute to make and will give the kids an energy boost to do their homework and exercise

Raw Apple Snack Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1-2 apples – select a sweet apple like Fuji or Gala (I used Fuji)
• 1 medium orange
• 1 medium lemon

Prep:

• Juice lemon and orange into a small bowl
• Slice the apple into thin slices (see image below)
• Place slices into juice bowl and make sure the juice is all over the apple slices
• Place bowl in fridge for 30minutes-2 hours

Remove from fridge, serve and enjoy! Warning: contents are addicting!
Optional: you can use a green apple in place of one of the other apples to give the plate some contrast for your guests. The green apples (e.g. granny smith) will make the snack even more tart and should explode of awesomeness when you and your guests enjoy!

(the blog where i found the recipe: http://www.letstalkfitness.com/raw-apple-snack )

I would use half a lemon, it was too strong for me

What is your favorite snack?

Hello!  So.. where have I been? .... Where do I start? Last year was crazy!!! My son started school for the first time (kindergarten) We were sick continuously up until Christmas. I guess we weren't use to being exposed to so many germs.



I have been back on track eating healthy and recently started working out. I did forget to blog about my progress because  have been tracking my journey through a web site I am a mod for.

I will be posting my  past journals onto here then ill update daily (hopefully) maybe Ill even share some healthy recipes also.




For all of my viewers/readers? I want to say thank you and I will be more active! :)
