Fitness Apps for Your Phone or Tablets

HI EVERYONE!

Sorry I have been absent for so long!  I hope everyone is having a great day! 

During my tooth and jaw dilemma I ignored my New Year’s resolution or goal to become more active.  Shame on me.  But I have a new found resolve thanks to my new phone app.  In the summer and fall I used my FitBit bracelet but after a few months I couldn’t get it to charge anymore.  But it helped me learn the walking distance or routine I needed to do to attain eight to ten thousand steps.

Now, I have an app that came with my new Iphone 6 plus.  I really love this phone.  I never fell in love with my Iphone 5 by the way.  Loved the 4.  I digress.  I was talking about the health app.  It tracks my steps and miles.  You do have to carry it with you but don’t we all carry our phones with us anyway?  In the summer I will have to find something to wear that has a pocket.  For now I am wearing a jacket or coat because the weather has been crazy!  Brrrr….  Below I have taken a screen shot of one day I walked 6422 steps.  It will tell you the steps you took for the day and the distance.  It also breaks it up by the week and by the month.  

 


 It even registers my jumps on my Urban Rebounder!

There are many, many fitness apps out there now.  Check the out if you want to have something that motivates you to move more.

 Thank you for taking the time to read my blogs. 

I really appreciate it.

Are Organics Worth It? My Fresh Market Haul

Are Organics Worth It?  My Fresh Market Haul

Hi Everyone!

I see others do these hauls, so I thought I would do one too.  I love to shop at our Fresh Market store here in Lafayette.  It is my 

"happy place".

I buy almost all my meat from this store because they have a large selection of grass fed, non antibiotic meats.  Here is a picture of the artwork with sausage.  They made a pig display.

They also have a large selection of organic produce.

I was on an antibiotic for what they thought was an abscessed tooth.  Antibiotics destroy both good and bad bacteria in your gut so I bought some probiotic drinks and some sauerkraut to try to build up the good bacteria again.

Are Organics Worth It?

HI EVERYONE!

I hope you are having a wonderful day! 

In this picture I am wearing Spanx Black Leggings from Dillards. 

The Black lace top is from Crackle Barrel Country Store and Restaurant.  They didn’t have a medium so I bought a large.  I probably should have returned it.  But it is lovely so I will try to make it work.  Because it is on the large side I wore another top underneath.

I have a long lace camisole underneath that I purchased from Target.  It is extremely long and this is the first time I am wearing it because of that.  It is also a racer back style. 

My black ankle boots are from DSW and the brand is Impo.  I have spoke about these on my YouTube channel.  They are so comfortable I could actually run in them if my life were in danger. 

I have a tooth that is giving me problems.  I have to go to an endodontist to have an old root canal reworked.  They will drill through my crown to get to the problem.  Sounds terrifying!  I am not looking forward to it but I don’t want this pain either.   I am on an antibiotic and my appointment isn't until next week.  Eek.

I have been trying to stay focused on some of my resolutions or goals for this year.  I do walk in the evenings if I get home in time or if the weather allows.  I need to read my Bible more than just in church.  I also need to concentrate on eating more vegetables.  How are you doing?  Comment below if you wish to chit chat.

Number Twelve of My 14 Favorites from 2014

Number Twelve of My 14 Favorites from 2014

Hi Everyone! 

 Everyone was challenged on YouTube by Nathalie, TheBeautyDiva to come up with their favorite 14 items of 2014.  Most of mine were not makeup since I had just started my channel and had already talked about all my favorite makeup items.  So I decided to come up with a list of items that I used every day or that I would quickly replace if lost or broken.

I thought I would make a daily blog of each item one by one.

#12.  Bragg’s Liquid Aminos

My number twelve favorite item for 2014 is Bragg’s Amino Acids.  For my health a few years ago, I had to give up soy sauce (all fermented foods).  I also had to give up gluten.  My dietician recommended Amino Acids as a substitute. 

I also use it instead of salt.  I stir fry my meat and add vegetables.  I like to eat a lot of Asian Foods.  I spray the Amino Acids on AFTER I finish cooking.  
It seems to lose the flavor if I try to cook with it.

Here is a link to the website for more information:

http://bragg.com/products/bragg-liquid-aminos-soy-alternative.html

 Our Bragg Liquid Aminos are made from health-giving soybeans and purified water. NON-GMO PROJECT VERIFIED & GLUTEN-FREE, they are an excellent,healthy, gourmet replacement for Tamari and Soy Sauce. No alcohol, not fermented or heated, Bragg Liquid Aminos Seasoning adds taste delights to most foods.

If you have made a New Year’s Resolution to improve your health, please read about these Amino Acids.

Thank you for taking the time to read my blogs.  

I really appreciate it.

Have Fun On This Road of Life!!

#2.  AeroPilates

My second favorite item for 2014 was my AeroPilates Machine.  I have had it for several years now.  When I first received it I was about 35 pounds heavier.  Since you have to “pull” your own weight it was much more difficult for me then.  Now, I am accustomed to using it but I still “feel” the workout each time.  And if I do the workout every day I really feel like my muscles are toned and stretched at the same time.  It is especially good for the core muscles. 

I prop mine up against a wall of my extra bedroom so it doesn't take up much space at all when not in use.

I highly recommend getting this machine or any machine that you will be inspired to use every day.  I bought my AeroPilates from QVC. I did not buy the most expensive version.  I started with this one and told myself I can always trade up at a later date.  But this one is still going strong.

Have Fun On This Road of Life!!

God Bless,
