Weight loss doesn't sound or feel like a laughing matter.
Considering that laughter also produces natural endorphins, those "feel good" brain chemicals that lower your blood pressure, decrease your stress and improve your mood, you have nothing to lose, except maybe a little weight and stress, right? And if that doesn't sound like a bargain, at least you can laugh your way through a daily square of chocolate and even the score.

Butter nut Squash Soup
-
Butter nut Squash Soup
-
- Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook the onion, garlic, and thyme in the hot butter until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and chicken stock; bring to a simmer and cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble the bouillon into the soup; season with cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper; remove from heat.
- Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a kitchen towel and carefully start the blender using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a serving bowl. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup in the pot. Enjoy! Super Supper!

Calories hide every where, did you know?
Beverages often contain calories you don't think about ...
Liquid calories can add up quickly (especially alcoholic beverages). Alcohol contains nearly as many calories per gram as fat (7 calories versus 9 calories). Alcohol also tends to lower our inhibitions which opens the door to over indulging on high calorie foods. An especially high calorie alcoholic drink, popular during the holiday season, is eggnog. One cup of alcoholic eggnog is approximately 400 calories (not including the whipping cream)!
- 80 calories – White wine (4 ounces)
- 85 calories – Red wine (4 ounces)
- 100 calories – Light beer (12 ounces)
- 120 calories – Wine cooler (8 ounces)
- 150 calories – Gin and tonic (4 ounces)
- 160 calories – Beer (12 ounces)
- 205 calories – Eggnog, alcoholic (4 ounces)
- 225 calories – Daiquiri (4 ounces)
- 262 calories – Pina colada (4 ounces)
- 270 calories – Margarita (4 ounces)

How do you know if you’re getting enough sleep?
| GET Enough ZZZZ"S |
It’s interesting that most people consider sleep a passive activity. They believe that while they’re sleeping, nothing is happening. Actually, the opposite is true—sleep is an active process. While you’re sleeping, your body manages its repair systems, regenerative mechanisms and vast array of immune functions—and these are just a few of the physical activities it performs while you slumber. That’s why sleep and rest are vitally restorative acts for your body.
But how do you know if you’re getting enough sleep? There’s a very simple way to know: Do you feel rested when you wake up in the morning? If you’re getting enough good, solid sleep, you should feel mentally sharp, aware, and full of focus and concentration when you wake up. Sleep gives you energy. On the days you don't get enough perhaps you need more vitamins and minerals, Get that here: GET Energe!
Quality of sleep is important, too. If you sleep for eight hours but toss and turn the whole time, you will feel it the next day. You’ll be tired and fatigued, making every task more difficult. When you’re rested, your mind is clear and your judgment is better.

Diet Failure Reasons
Five reasons why you can’t stick to your diet …
and how to fix them .
information provided from By Susan B.
Diet failure reason #1: You eat for reasons other than hunger.
Emotional eaters turn to food when they’re feeling depressed, angry or stressed. If they start on a diet and deprive themselves of the emotional comfort of food, you can imagine what happens … they just get more depressed, angry and stressed. If you find yourself eating when you’re not really physically hungry, you’ll want to work on finding other ways to make yourself feel better.Easy diet fix: When you get ‘emotional’ and feel the need to eat, take a moment to stop and simply acknowledge what it is that you’re feeling. Rather than ‘stuffing down’ the negative feeling with food, just let it be. It might help to write down how you’re feeling, or to call a friend and talk it out. You can also tell yourself that you’ll wait 5 or 10 minutes before giving in – chances are you’ll get busy doing something else and forget about eating altogether. And exercise is one of the best mood-lifters around. Instead of drowning your sorrows with sweets, put on your shoes and go take a walk, or get down on the floor and stretch instead.
Diet failure reason #2: It doesn’t fit your lifestyle.
I’ve said it before, but it’s worth repeating: when you say you’re going “on a diet” it implies that, at some point, you’ll be going “off your diet”. This often happens when people try to adopt a diet plan that just doesn’t fit with their lifestyle. Maybe it calls for a lot of food preparation and you just don’t like to cook, or don’t have time. Maybe there are too many restrictions – so you quickly get bored, or you can’t find anything you can eat when you go out with friends or family.Easy diet fix: Rather than trying the latest “diet”, focus on making lifestyle changes for the long term. If you don’t have time to cook or don’t enjoy it, seek out recipes that are quick and easy, and learn your way around a restaurant menu so that you can always find something that works for you.
Diet failure reason #3: Your expectations aren’t realistic.
Once you’ve made the decision to “go on a diet”, you may have high expectations for your weight loss – especially if you find yourself making a lot of sacrifices. But if you expect to lose more than you can safely achieve over a period of time, you’re just setting yourself up for failure. And if you expect that you’re going to follow your new diet to the letter, you’ll probably abandon the whole thing as soon as you make a slip and ‘cheat’.Easy diet fix: First, recognize that a safe and reasonable rate of weight loss is about 1-2 pounds (up to about a kilogram) per week. And recognize, too, that when you’re working to establishing healthy new habits, it’s natural to slip once in a while. Rather than letting that diet slip turn into a diet fail – and giving up altogether – try to learn from your mistakes and allow some time for the new habits to get established.
Diet failure reason #4: You don’t change your environment.
Your environment has a big effect on your eating. Think about what you keep in your refrigerator, freezer and cupboards at home, the snacks you have stashed in your desk, the burger places you pass on your commute every day. There are temptations all around you, and if you don’t take charge of your environment, it’s just too easy to give in.Easy diet fix: Clear tempting, high-calorie foods out of your house and replace them with healthier items. Rather than a jar of candy on your desk or a bag of cookies on your kitchen counter, put out some fresh fruit or protein snack bars. Cut up some fresh veggies and put them in a highly visible spot in your refrigerator where they’ll be the first things you see. Stock your freezer and pantry with healthy staples so that you always have what you need to put together a healthy meal. And if you can’t drive past your favorite fast food restaurant without taking a detour into the drive-through, find another route.
Diet failure reason #5: You don’t eat regular meals and snacks.
Too often, people think the quickest way to weight loss is to just eat as little as possible. So, they skip meals and snacks – which leaves them hungry, tired and cranky … and craving sugar and caffeine to get them through the day. Skipping meals and snacks usually doesn’t help you lose weight, because you’re likely to just eat more at your next meal.Easy diet fix: Work on establishing a regular eating pattern that will keep you from getting overly hungry. In general, people feel the need to eat about every 3-4 hours during the day, which means that most people need – at a minimum – three meals and a snack in the afternoon. When you know you’re going to eat every few hours, it makes it easier to control your portions at each meal and snack, too. You can teach yourself to eat just enough to hold you until the next time you plan to eat. And make sure that each meal and snack provides some low-fat protein to help keep your hunger under control.

The difference between Greek yogurt and regular yogurt?
Just what is the difference between Greek yogurt and regular yogurt?
Both types of yogurt come from milk that has had healthy bacteria added, causing it to ferment.
During this process, yogurt thickens and takes on a slightly tangy taste. Yogurt is then strained with a cheesecloth, which allows the liquid whey part of milk to drain off. Regular yogurt is strained twice, while Greek yogurt is strained three times to remove more whey (resulting in a thicker consistency at the end of this process).
This additional third straining step is what makes Greek yogurt different from regular yogurt in several important ways. Greek yogurt contains less whey, lactose, calcium, sodium and sugar than regular yogurt. A single serving of Greek yogurt averages around 50 milligrams of sodium -- that's about half the sodium contained in most brands of regular yogurt. Greek yogurt also contains roughly half the carbs as regular yogurt -- 5 to 8 grams per serving compared with 13 to 17 grams in regular yogurt.
Because more liquid gets eliminated in the additional straining, producers need more milk to produce one cup of Greek yogurt than they require to produce one cup of regular yogurt. Consequently, Greek yogurt has more protein than regular yogurt, because it is more concentrated.
Greek yogurt actually contains almost double the protein of regular yogurt. Eight ounces (one cup) of Greek yogurt has about 17 grams of protein, compared to the 11 grams that regular yogurt provides. That's almost about one-third of the USDA's recommended daily intake of protein for women and one-fourth of the daily recommended protein intake for men, This makes Greek yogurt a great option for anyone trying to sneak in a little more protein into their diet.
I enjoy vanilla with pineapple!!! Try black cherry in any variety another fav. of mine~!!!!:)
Also, because of its high protein content, Greek yogurt will help you stay full longer, which is key if you are trying to lose weight or maintain it!!!

The Facts On Figs
We love super foods and all the fun information that comes with them. Figs don't get a lot of press these days (the Goji berry and Mangosteen seem to rank equally as trending fave's of the day), so we'd like to share some quick facts about this ancient and noble fruit :
• Some believe that it was a fig that was actually the fruit in the Garden of Eden with Adam and Eve, not an apple.
• The fig tree is a symbol of fertility and abundance.
• Fig trees have no blossoms on their branches…the blossom is inside of the fruit! Tiny flowers produce the little seeds that give figs their signature texture.
• In Roman times, figs were considered to be restorative, increasing one’s strength, and keeping the elderly more youthful looking.
• The early Olympic athletes ate figs as a training food. Figs were even presented as laurels to Olympic winners, becoming the first “medal”.
• Figs first appeared commercially in 1892 with Fig Newtons cookies.
• Figs naturally hold in moisture in baked goods, keeping them fresher for longer.
• There is more calcium in a half cup of figs that in a half cup of milk.
• Important source of carbohydrates, potassium, manganese, and dietary fiber
• High in enzymes, which aid in digestion
• Packed with antioxidants

Exercise. there I said it... everyone needs this...
You know you need to exercise.
I know you need to exercise.
Add it to your daily to-do list and do something active every day. Little bits add up...
If you stretch before breakfast for a minute, then write it down. If you walk to the end of your street, then write it down.
You’re more likely to exercise if you hold yourself accountable and after five days you’ll have at least five minutes of exercise to show for it. You can then see the evidence on paper!
You might not be at the top of the mountain yet but you can see you’ve made a start! One step ahead of where you were before!!

motivation
Through all of the stories of great successes, it’s the men and women who found their motivation and consistently used it as their main drive to reach success.
Motivation and excitement about your vision, your ambition, your goal, give you energy and an ability to do what others can, but won’t do. If you’re motivated, you work longer hours, but are also more productive and focused in those hours you work. Being plugged into personal motivation just l15 minutes a day is life changing, start today if you don't do something already. If your interested in earning an income from your Home, and changing people's health for the better, check it out here: work from HOME. Join my team; I am always looking for highly motivated go getters, who have a desire to succeed!
Try something small, to take steps towards a better, more successful you.:)
Don’t try and fill your day with too much. Sure, you’d like to get a lot accomplished, but there should be 3 (only 3) important tasks that NEED to be accomplished. Focus on these first. When they’re completed, and only when they’re completed, are you allowed to move on to other things.
What ends up happening is they get overwhelmed, which crushes their motivation, and nothing gets done.

Are you eating your fiber? I know people don't always like it....
Dietary Fiber requirements
Dietary Fiber Facts
What happens when Dietary Fiber intake is too high?
What happens when Dietary Fiber intake is too low?
Which foods are high in Dietary Fiber?
High fiber foods are unrefined grains, like whole wheat, bran, corn, oats, and brown rice, dried beans (black beans, black-eyed peas, chickpeas, etc.), lentils, split peas and whole dried peas, and fibrous fruits and vegetables, like berries, prunes, dried fruits, apples, broccoli, green, and potatoes with skins. "Purified fiber" may also be taken as a supplement. Oat bran, wheat bran, psyllium husk powder, and pectin are examples of purified fibers. There should be no need for purified fibers if the diet contains a wide variety of high fiber foods VISIT me at Facebook <Facebook/NUTRIE4U> or at my site for more infomration on my Nutrie products !!!Thursday, August 8, 2013
Nutrition Before, During and After Exercise
Nutrition before, during and after exercise has significant effects on human performance. A pre-event meal keeps the athlete from feeling hungry before and during the event, and it maintains optimal blood glucose levels for working muscles
Carbohydrate feedings just prior to exercise can help restore suboptimal liver glycogen stores, which could result, for example, after an overnight fast. Allowing for personal preferences and habits, the pre - event meal should be high in carbohydrate, low in fat and fiber and easily digested. Get your Fuel HERE!!!

Ways to burn those calories this Summer!
www.kristine.automaticbody.com
Happy summer! We hope that everyone is enjoying the sun and keeping
active! If you’re finding it difficult to think of things you can do to
keep your heart rate up during the long hot days, a couple of
suggestions.Check out our Top 5 Ways To Sweat In Summer 2013:
1) Swimming! This is why you can never say it’s too hot to workout. There is always a community pool, or a lake, river, or ocean for you to jump in and get the blood flowing. Did you know that you can burn over 600 calories in an hour swimming?
2) Hiking. Take a buddy with you into a cool and shaded trail, or wear a wide-brimmed hat and soak in the sun on a rocky path. Either way, there is sure to be hiking options wherever you live and it’s a great way to relieve stress and reconnect with Nature while shedding the pounds. A can of Energé to get you to the top of the peak might not be a bad idea either!
3) Paddle boating. Didn’t think of paddle boating as exercise? Take one out for an hour and see how your thighs and glutes feel! Not only is paddle boating fun and social (since you have to take a buddy to paddle with), it’s an amazing workout for your lower body.
4) Rollerblading. It’s just like ice-skating without being cold! If you don’t know how to rollerblade, strap on some knee and elbow pads and give it a shot. You can burn up to 800 calories an hour
5) Badminton. This is a cheap and super fun way to spend time with your friends and family in a park or in your backyard, burning up to 550 calories in a hour! Get your rackets, a can of Fuel and watch the birdies fly!

Protein~~~ Are you eating enough?
Wednesday, July 24, 2013
WE have CHOICES everyday in life!
Have you really thought about what your goals are?
To get where you want to go, it helps to have a plan. Take time and be precise in what you want. The more clearly defined your goal is, the easier it will be to attain. When writing goals, many authors, trainers, and coaches suggest using the SMART goals acronym: This is something to remind yourself of....each decision made...
S: specific and simple
M: measurable and meaningful
A: achievable and as if now (present tense)
R: realistic and responsible
T: tangible and timed
Be specific in what you want. If you write down, "I want to lose weight," that isn't very specific.
Write a paragraph or two describing exactly why you absolutely must attain your goal. Writing a SMART goal might read, "It is now July 2013 and I weigh 150 pounds, by September 2013 I will weigh 140 pounds", this is as detailed or more as it should be to bring results!!!
Choosing the correct product to aid in this goal is equally as important, check out Products that work here: http://www.kristine.automaticbody.com
