Get on Track to a Healthy Lifestyle

Being a mother isn’t always easy. Life calls on you to accomplish a lot in a small amount of time. Between obligations at home, work and everywhere in between, there isn’t always a lot of time left for you to focus on yourself. This hurts especially if you are trying to lose weight and have an overall healthier life. If you are serious about losing weight and becoming more healthy, there are a few tips that you can consider to help you along your way.
  • Designate Workout Time: If you are going to be serious about losing weight then you know that you need to dedicate some time in the gym. While life may be hectic, an easy way to keep your gym time is to schedule it in advance. Carve out an hour in your planner for the gym and treat it like an appointment that you have to keep. If you treat the gym like a business meeting you won’t be able to push it off for anything else.
  • Clean Up Your Diet: This may be more tricky than scheduling gym time, but if you want to see the pounds come off you will need to keep your diet clean. Increase your vegetable intake for a quick way to keep your weight down. Look for help from other sources too like Medifast. The important thing to consider is that you need to eliminate the processed foods that are packed with calories and other unhealthy ingredients.
  • Get A Friend: Accountability is always a huge part of losing weight so find a workout or nutrition friend that will help you along your journey. Not only will your partner know exactly what you are going through, but they will be able to help you along the way as well. It can be your friend or spouse, anyone who has the same goals that you do.
Losing weight is never easy, especially when life is constantly throwing new things your direction. By following a few simple steps, you will be able to commit to a weight loss plan and see you waistline shrink

Last week we tried out the fizzing sidewalk chalk- click here to read that review. This week it is liquid chalk spray.  They are a bit similar but yet different.  Here is how to make it: Supplies: 1 tsp. washable tempura paint 1 cup of hot water 1/2 cup of cornstarch squirt of dishwashing liquid 1 squirt bottle- I found them at the dollar store 1.  Add cornstarch to one cup of hot water whisking to mix so that there are no clumps. 2.  Add one teaspoon of washable tempura paint and a quirt of dishwashing liquid.  Mix well. 3.  Pour it into your squirt bottles and shake well. 4.  Go have fun!!!   This kept my daughters attention much longer the the fizzy chalk last week.  I also think this was easier to work with and just more fun in general.  I love seeing the chalk wet but then to see it dry.  I think it dried darker so it was fun to see the changes.  :)  Ready, Set, Go!  Have some fun! She is my little model... she kept saying "take my picture mom." She is like her

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!
