Resisted Mr.Softee On A Hot Day!

What a hot day today. I went shopping for new clothes today felt good to buy them smaller each time I shop. Saw the ice cream truck out side of the store, Mr.Softee. Yumm! I was so tempted to buy a vanilla ice cream cone with sprinkles, somthing I would of eating in the pass, but I did resisted. Went home and had one of my 25 calories ice pop instead.   CHECK OUT MY BLOG LET ME KNOW IF ITS HELPFUL TO YOU.. http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/ :smile2:

Morning walk!

It's time for my walk. I need to get it in before the heat comes. It's now 6:00 AM. For the past month and a half I have been walking daily, and now I am up to 3 miles. It has helped me with toning up my legs. I find after my morning workout, I have lots of energy for the day - it keeps me positive.   I have a lot of toning to do. One of my biggest fears is losing so much weight and having my skin stretch out so badly that I will have all that hanging skin that is common with this weight loss.   With the lap band, working out is a big key, and I know a lot of us are not used to it. I was not always this size - I was a size 12 for many years, and a fitness junkie. But as I gained weight, I lost the energy and the will to want to work out.   So with the loss of 80 pounds, I got back the motivation to get back into fitness and health. In the past, I have joined gyms, but like most, I stopped going. Now, what I've done is come up with, and incorporate many exercises I can do from home and get the same results as if I were in the gym. In this economy, where things are so hard for so many of us, we try to save money where we can - but it does not mean I have to skimp on my health - hence I started my home exercise routine.   You can check out my blog, with some more information on this and what I do to help deal with the sagging skin.   Check out this site: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/ :thumbup:

Recipe Of The Day! Crock Pot Jambalaya

I made this for a pot luck party this weekend. All my friends gobbled it up and asked for the recipe! Instead of using chicken, I used turkey sausage. You can use both chicken and sausage if you like. I also doubled the Cayenne pepper and the tabasco sauce depends on your family's taste. So easy to make and easy to throw together... PERFECTO! ENJOY!   Makes 6 servings Prep Time: 10 mins Total Time: 6 HOURS   325 Calories Per Serving   CHECK OUT MY BLOG FOR MORE INFO ON THIS RECIPE AND SO MANY MORE:thumbup: http://life-after-lap-band.blogspot.com/

Recipe Of The Day! 5 Summer Cocktails-Guilt-Free

Learn how to cut the calories in your favorite drink. Going to a Garden Party or a BBQ or just a Evening out. Tropical cocktails are a rite of summer—delicious and refreshing. The problem is, the calories can push your diet over the edge. To counter this, I come up with some less-indulgent versions of classic seasonal favorites. Enjoy!   Margarita It’s tempting to pick up a bottle of store-bought frozen margarita mix, but that’s where most of the 325 calories lie. Instead, just get tequila, limes for fresh-squeezed lime juice and some Triple Sec to make your own version. Calories saved: 153per 6 ounces.   Mojito Sugar adds to the taste of this Cuban specialty, helping release the mint flavor. It also adds to the 145-calorie count. Instead, use a sugar substitute, like stevia, which contains virtually no calories, yet works to enhance the mint’s flavor during the muddling process. Calories saved: 80 per 6 ounces.   Cosmopolitan This cranberry-flavored cocktail is pretty to look at, but full of empty calories. Lower the count of this 130-calorie drink by using diet cranberry juice. Then grab a bottle of Ty Ku Soju, an Asian spirit that is a great alternative to vodka and contains only 68 calories per 1.5 ounces. Calories saved: 65 per 4 ounces.   Strawberry Daiquiri Don’t be fooled—just because it’s named after a fruit doesn’t mean this drink is healthy. Just like with margaritas, the pre-made mixes are packed with sugar, leaving you with a drink that can peak at 350 calories. Make your own with fresh strawberries (if they’re not sweet enough add more sweetness with a sugar substitute) and definitely skip the whipped cream topping. Calories saved 215 per 8 ounces.   Piña Colada The queen of summer drinks, the piña colada can max out at over 650 calories! Substitute Coco López Cream of Coconut Lite for the coconut cream and coconut milk. Combine it with pineapple juice, sparkling water and a little rum, and you can satisfy both your sweet tooth and your diet. Calories saved: 475 per 8 ounces.   SO ENJOY THE SUMMER GUILT-FREE!
