Fun Fact: Bump The Beef

Burger BummerTo live 'til the cows come home, designate Beef Free Days.Women who eat less than 4ounces of red meat weekly survive longer than those who eat more. Saturated fats & high cooking temps-which produce cancer- causing compounds-may be to blame...I think I'll have a little chicken & fish more often:)August 2009, Self Magazine

Work-Out Plan

Still tryna get your six-pack on but don't have the funds for a gym membership. Here are 3 recession friendly ways, (are we still even in a recession? lol), to stay in shape...& They're All Free! With assistance from a few nearby sources, you'll be well on your way to being fit. Pace yourself & try to keep up!

*Dust off your library card. Borrow exercise DVDS from your library. Try them out at home... Buy any you love!
*You & a friend utilize your neighborhood park. If your not a fan of the parks in your area, look for nice parks, in nicer neighborhoods. Create a routine that consists of stretching, exercising, running or walking. You can motivate each other when you feel like giving up, like Cam & I use to do when we were on our workout tip.

By your self or with a friend tune into one of cable's fitness-all-the-time station. They feature a variety of aerobics routine's. You can't get bored

Some of y'all are already addicted to the Wii...so try out Wii fitness

GET IT RIGHT AND GET IT TIGHT FOR '09 LADIES

For most women a new year means a new gym membership. You go to the gym for about a month or two and begin to slack around February or March. Workouts are extremely important, but your diet is also. How do you leave the gym and then go get a cheese burger from McDonald’s? We want and need to improve our bodies, no matter what size we are, and we need to also improve our mentality. If we are not mentally ready to get in shape, then we are not going to be motivated to eat right and workout.

Yeah we want to look good in our bathing suits and find the “perfect fit” Seven jeans but its going to take more then just the gym. We need to be mentally ready and we need to be disciplined!
