A Foodies Life

Bodybugg

 

Ok so really there is so much exciting stuff to report about.  I've just not had a lot of time.  Above you see a horrible picture of the display for a bodybugg.  Have you heard about the bodybugg?  It's this incredible little device that you put on your arm and it counts all the calories you burn each day.  Then you go on their website and put your food into a journal so it creates a calorie deficit for you.  You've probably seen it on The Biggest Loser before, that's where I heard about it.  My goal is to lose 35 lbs before I go on vacation in May.  I'm all ready down about 5 and it's only been a week and a half! 

Also, have you noticed the Twitter feed?  Even if you don't get a post like this you will get a feed from me on Twitter....I've heard people talking about it but now that I know you can use it on the website I've added it.  It's kinda of goofy but hopefully it will keep me in touch with you all more often.  So come back and take a look throughout the day!  I hopefully will have even more news for you all later, it will make Susan very happy. 

I gotta run, chat later!

Amaranth

So I haven't been writing on the blog a lot lately because I've been focusing on my diet.  I've added a lot of beans and whole grains and pretty much taken meat out of it.  This is a bowl of Amaranth and berries that I had for breakfast today.  Amaranth is one of those whole grains that is great for you.  It's got protein, antioxidants and all that good stuff.  So give it a shot and I'll start writing more.

Another New Years

Well here it is.....we are six days into the new year!  I'm thankful that the holiday season is over and it's time to get on with life.  I've made a couple of resolutions that are the normal ones. 

1.  Quit Smoking

2.  Exercise more

3.  Eat better

4.  Write more on this blog and a book. 

I haven't smoked a cigarette since last Wednesday night so I'm confident I'll be ok with that one.  Although it's tough everyday.  Yesterday I worked 13 hours on my feet and when I came home I just wanted to have a drink and smoke.  I even went over to a friends house and they were chain smoking in front of me and I almost lost it.  But I hung in there! 

I really feel like I have to focus on the not smoking for a week or two before I jump something else in there.  I am starting small things like walking to the office and watching what I eat a little bit. 

As for writing I'm going to have to start scheduling it into my day.  I've signed up for another writing class that starts tomorrow, I have the concept just have to get the story that's been living in me out on paper. 

So that's it!  I'm off to work!  What are your resolutions?
