Have you taken up belly dancing yet??

SP Bragg — Wed, 25 Oct 2006 14:39:46 +0000

I’m getting bored with the stair climbing and thought that I would dig out some of my exercise videos to see if anything grabbed my attention. Well, I went back to something that I haven’t done in a while… belly dancing. No, it’s not going to get the heart pumping, but it will concentrate your efforts on the waistline. And even better, it’s fun. If I get bored with something I’m quick to move on. That’s what I like about exercise videos. When you get tired of the same old routine, you replace it with something new, and I have a closet full of videos to choose from. If you have to exercise, you might as well make it fun!

Adding Inches to the Waistline

With all the situps that I’m doing, I think that I have it under control, but this little chopping board should make it that much easier. I had no idea that this even existed!!

Now is this cool or what. Slide your food into the circle and it actually weighs your food for you!

Did you know…

“Carrots are one of the best sources of carotene which is a strong antioxidant. But carrots also contain other phenolic compounds that are antioxidants. Many people do not realize that numerous phenolic compounds are located in the skin of fruit and vegetables, many of which are removed by peeling prior to processing.

Is it worth the effort to try to get your kids, or yourself for that matter, to eat spinach? Absolutely. Eating spinach will help you meet your daily need for a number of nutrients, including calcium, iron, folate and vitamin A… And that’s just for starters. And just in case you can’t stand it cooked (like me) it makes a kick ass salad! Who needs lettuce??

And then there is broccolli. It’s not as bad as I expected. And then when I saw what it could do for you, I was convinced. This is right up there with miracle foods.

Note to self… eat more veggies even if you are sick to death of them! You will grow to be a very old lady with gorgeous skin!

*Today’s Project – Hit a Bucket of Balls

Head for the closest driving range and hit a bucket of balls. It’s de-stressing and a great workout for your waistline.

I come from a long line of golfers, but for some reason the game just never appealed to me. But hitting a bucket of balls, now that just sounds like fun. And if I can whittle off a few inches and have fun at the same time… I’m all for it!

Watching the Calories

Fruit juice is good for you right?? Well, it isn’t so good for your waistline. While it’s definitely better than a sugary soda, there is still a lot of sugar in a glass of juice. Just stop for a moment and think about how many pieces of fruit had to be squeezed for just one glass. So, there is not only a lot of sugar, but some extra calories too. But there is a way around it.

Mix 1/4 of a glass of your favorite juice ( I like cranberry but it will work with any juice) and then top it up with soda water. It is amazingly refreshing on a hot day and a lot less sweet.

*And if you are worried that you aren’t getting enough vitamins, choose a piece of raw fruit instead.
