Queenie and the Bean Sprouts 2008-06-07 14:56:00 See Queenie
’s sprouter. See Queenie’s sprouter grow delicious fresh sprouts. See Queenie happy and healthy.
This is my sprouter. I purchased it for 19 dollars on Amazon. I had no idea at the time, how addicting this nice little appliance was going to be for me. Otherwise, I would have purchased 2 or 3 of them. This handy little gadget grows me three different types of sprouts, fresh Read more:Sprouts
Portion Control 2008-06-09 10:04:00 I know I have talked about portion control, but I’m going to talk about it again in depth… Why? Because it is one of the most important aspects of losing weight.
I got on my scale this morning again - and yes, I realize that it is only 3 days after I got on last time - but I have been feeling great lately… I’ve been doing everything right, I walked Friday, Saturday, and toda Read more:Control

Tips For Exercising In Hot Weather 2008-06-11 15:14:00 As you may already be aware of, most of the country is going through a serious heat wave. For 4 days at least it has been 100 or more here in North Carolina just as it has been in other parts as well. Today we’re having a cool down at 92! Considering it is so hot I figured I’d remind you all how important it is to take precautions when exercising outside. For those of y Read more:Exercising
Making YOU matter 2008-06-12 10:02:00 Sometimes, trying to be healthy is hard work. Especially when your family isn’t behind your efforts. By the grace of all things wonderful, I don’t have that issue. I have full support. But I know that most of you are on your own. To me, that sucks. You are busting your butt to improve yourself. It’s not an easy task. You need to put yourself first. Especially when it comes to your health. So Read more:matter
Happy Friday the 13th 2008-06-13 13:57:00 Today is Friday
the 13th. Superstitious day for some. Not for me. I wasn’t even scared to get on the scale. That has to do with the way I have been feeling lately. I got the skinny happening. I just FEEL it. This week has been part of a LONG series of weeks for me too. Just lots of stressful things. This week, the only working out I did was my TKD classes twice and then the mattress rumba with m Read more:Happy

Bread 101 2008-06-16 13:14:00 As I sit here eating my bagel I have to contemplate my love of bread. I do indeed love bread - no question about it. Rye, pumpernickel, Italian, heck I even love Texas Toast. The only kind of bread I don’t love is Whole Grain - exactly the type I should be eating. So I went on a search to see what I can find out about the other types of breads I eat, how healthy they are Read more:Bread
It’s All About the Choices 2008-06-17 11:55:00 So I am setting on my couch last night, after TKD class. I am glued to the TV. Yes, I know, being a couch potato but still...I JUST exercised. It was chill time. There is but one good thing that comes from this “chill time” for me. My brain gets to relax.
Last night, it only happened for a second though because I saw a thought provoking commercial on the tube. It was the latest Subway comme
Friends and Weight Loss 2008-06-18 13:34:01 Yesterday I watched a repeat of Rachael Ray about a woman who had gastric bypass surgery, lost 200 or so pounds and in the meantime lost all of her friends and family.
It may sound far fetched but as I was researching it I found that it is actually quite common. I remember when I was on phen-fen way way way back when and I lost 80 pounds, I indeed lost my friends. Most people Read more:Friends

The Health Benefits of Cantaloupe 2008-06-23 12:58:00 There is no doubt about it - I love me some cantaloupe There is nothing better than digging into a nice juicy cantaloupe that is perfectly ripe. In fact, I was just eating some! Which brings me to this post. I know cantaloupe is good for me, but I didn’t realize how good until I did a little research. First of all, I had no idea that the cantaloupe is also called a musk Read more:Health

Write it Down 2008-06-21 13:15:00 I have read about several diet programs since I began my health journey in October of 2007. The one consistent with almost every single plan is that they encourage the use of a food journal. A simple place that you write down EVERY. SINGLE. THING. THAT. YOU. PUT. IN. YOUR. MOUTH. It seems tedious. Really. I mean, does that stick of gum really need to be recorded? Its only what? 50 calories? Read more:Write
Weigh In Friday! 2008-06-20 10:08:00 Well I weighed myself early again just so I could post this before Shelah woke up and freaked out that there was no post - she does that when she loses weight and there is no one to tell
So I weighed myself on Thursday instead of Friday
and found that I lost another 1.2 pounds. Not the big number of last week but considering I had 2 good weeks in a row I wasn’t expecting huge amounts.&n Read more:Weigh
Is it Burn Out or a Really Big Wall? 2008-06-19 11:54:00 No matter what it is...I am fricken tired of it. It’s frustrating and pissing me off to no end. I hit 168. I am thrilled to be there. Really I am but I have been here for three weeks....AGAIN! And it sucks. I am determined to get past this wall though. In my hunting for my own “cure”, I found some fun stuff for you all.
First off, recognize that you have indeed lost some weight. Say you w
Guest Post by Dr. Andersen 2008-07-05 09:24:01 Here is the 2nd in a guest series post by Dr. Wayne Andersen as he talks about his habits of health. It’s a good one!
No exercise for the first three weeks of the program? Huh?
Yes it is true. In my upcoming book, “Habits of Health,” there is no exercise program for the first three weeks of the program. Why? Because most people fall into two groups: those who e Read more:Guest
Well, I Had Good Intentions 2008-07-03 13:39:00 I really did. I had this nice post in my head that I was going to write. Something about grilling ideas since tomorrow is like the biggest BBQue day on the planet. But then...I stepped on my scale. I haven’t been on my scale in a week. That was a hard thing for me. Normally, I get out of bed, go take care of pee pee business and then hop on the scale. This week, I said that I wasn’t going to d
Ugh - The Eating Continues 2008-07-02 07:08:00 Honestly, I don’t know what the heck is wrong with me. I’ve been eating like a pig… just 2 weeks ago I was rejoicing in dropping 12 pounds almost and tonight I was laying on my couch eating an entire tub of spice drops - a TUB I say… you know the ones that have like 1000 spice drops in it? Yep, ate it. My neighbor gave it to me as a little token of appreciation for helpin
Ready For The Beach Yet? 2008-06-30 19:50:02 Say the word “bikini” and most of us will still cringe with fear. It’s okay, we’re all scared, and if you weren’t one of those people who faithfully stuck to their resolution of getting in shape this year, you can still survive the harsh conditions of those intimidating environments… the beach, or pool, or party. Following this workout plan will not only make you comfortable in that ho Read more:Beach
The Killer Tomatoes 2008-06-28 23:49:00 My great state was put on the list of states that have been affected by the recent salmonella outbreak. We weren’t just put on the list once...but twice. They had Florida on the list, then took us off the list only to turn around a day later and put us right back on the list. I did not worry about this outbreak for my family though. Because the tomatoes that we use are vine ripes. They weren’t Read more:Killer

Weigh-In Day! 2008-06-27 16:01:00 Oh man, I almost slept through weigh-in day again! I swear I need to get on a better schedule because this waking up at noon is killing me! Anyhow, hope you all lost lots and lots of weight. I have no idea what I lost - In fact I just jumped on the scale real quick and weighed myself (you know, all swollen from sleep and everything) but it still looks like I gained which is a tot Read more:Weigh
Fat Girl Therapy 2008-06-26 09:58:00 No big words of advice today. Nothing to lecture anyone about. Just me, sharing something fun with all of my wicked pals. Tuesday, I did something very therapeutic. I would recommend that anyone who has lost more then say....10 pounds do it too. I cleaned out my closet. I tossed all of my fat clothes. All of the yoga pants, the XXL tshirts the elastic waisted work out pants that covered my fat bod Read more:Therapy

Energy that Even I Can Deal with Drinking 2008-06-24 12:22:00 I am almost embarrassed to mention the fact that I used to be an energy drink addict. I would down probably 3 a day at least. That alone doesn’t sound so bad other than at the time, I was drinking one that had just come on the market and boasted to have the most “energy” ingredients. (Caffeine was twice that of Red Bull) I worked for that company so my supply was plenty and I felt that I was Read more:Energy

Éclairs, pies, and brownies - Oh MY! 2008-07-21 15:59:00 I just got this in my email box so I had to share - because quite frankly for some of us, it is the story of our lives
After starting a new diet I altered my drive to work to avoid passing my favorite bakery. I accidentally drove by the bakery this morning and as I approached, there in the window were a host of goodies.
I felt this was no accident, so I prayed ... “Lord, it Read more:brownies
Oh How I Love Granola 2008-07-19 12:14:00 Granola is quickly becoming one of my favorite things. I have it at all times of the day and night. Sometimes, when I need something sweet, or salty...it takes care of both. I stopped buying granola bars about 2 months ago though. I now make my own. It’s easy breezy and because I love it so much, I am going to share my secret recipe with all of you. Hope you enjoy.

Weigh In Friday! 2008-07-18 09:11:00 Hi everyone! Well, I weighed in on Thursday instead because I knew I had a mom’s night in and didn’t dare weigh in the morning after that! Too much beer, chips and stuff I really shouldn’t eat but as of Thursday morning I weighed in at 2.1 pounds less than I did last week.... I’m finally back to losing again We’ll see how long that lasts, but I think it’ll be good for n Read more:Weigh

The Yolk on Eggs 2008-07-17 11:39:01 As I sat this morning, eating my eggs (yes, I do still eat them on occasion), it got me thinking....How bad are these things for me? There have been some recent studies that have shown eggs to be a viable part of weight loss success in women. There have also been studies that have shown that you should eat the yolks. Some showing that you shouldn’t. It all leaves a Queenie quite confused about e

Square One 2008-07-15 10:01:00 I am finding myself back at square one. Not literally waaaaay back to the beginning but....umm..I didn’t weigh in on Friday for a reason. I spent all of last week nursing an injury that kept me from working out. I was pissy and whiny because I got slowed down by said injury and well, that lovely poundage dump that I made two weeks ago....yeah um...I ate it back in my friend’s birthday cake and Read more:Square
Fat Camps Back in Style 2008-07-14 13:00:00 When you think of “fat camps” you mostly think of lots of overweight teens getting off a bus in the middle of a forest where they learn how to exercise, eat right, and socialize with their peers. But not so anymore.
Now fat camps for adults are all the rage. It is most likely due to NBC’s Biggest Loser that people are more apt to go and search for adult fat camps that gi Read more:Style
