74 calorie Hot Chocolate recipe

When I need I chocolate fix!! This where I head to!

Generally I avoid anything that says fat free because it usually involves more sugar! But the no sugar added has 7 grams of sugar, and the fat free has 1g of sugar. Fat Free wins!

Sugar turns to fat..that is why I am concerned about that stuff.

This what I drink on a non-cheat day :D

74 calorie hot chocolate recipe

1 packet Kroger Fat Free Hot Chocolate 25 calories

1 TBSP of Coffeemate Sugar Free French Vanilla (Powder) 15 calories

1/4 cup of Mini Marshmallows 34 calories (optional)

8ounces of Hot water

Add hot chocolate and french vanilla to the bottom of the mug, then add hot water and stir. Then top with marshmallow if you like.

Without marshmallows calorie would total 40 calories :D

Just Do it...Thats my motto when I'm being lazy

When I'm feeling tired, stressed, sinus problems...and the thought of skipping hiking enters my mind. Then I think I'll regret it later, and if I Just Do it I will feel better.

 Research has proven the hiking relieves cramps, headaches, and sinus congestion. Also has psychological advantages as well, raising the happy hormones in our bodies to get rid of depression. All things my OBGYN, Nutritionist, and Pyschiatrist backed me up on. because I already believed that to be true.

Even when I'm sick I go hiking...okay strike that. There is limitation to that, anything problems below the neck stay home and rest. Anything above the neck go exercise. For me, I'm asthmatic and I cough all the time. So it has to be gunky cough to get me to stay home. As for Cramps, you know what I'm talking about ladies I still go hiking, because getting my blood pumping helps relieve them.  This information I got from the Noom App . I totally suggest downloading it it has interesting articles on it.

Also, schedule life around exercising. Come on if you have time to watch TV/DVR/Tivo or movies, you have time to exercise. That's what I realized. If I have time to sit on my butt, I have time to exercise. I have made the effort to put in the schedule  to exercise just do it.

So basically my dears, when I'm feeling lazy, or tired and it's time to exercise. Just do it!!

 

My Diet February 2013

Get your own  MCN Balance Plate (English Version)

What Diet Am I On? This one, calorie control diet. 

Servings:

 2 Dairy

 2 Protein

 2 Fruit 

5 Carbs

 5-7 Vegetables

 I originally started out with 1800 calorie diet, and now I'm 1430calories. It was a gradual change, that happened with every pound I lost. MyFitnessPal would adapt me down, when I change the pound loss goal. My Nutritionist says this good area to be at.

 Now, Protein is not just chicken, red meat, and Fish. It's Beans! Yep they are not considered a vegetable. 

 Carbs is just not tortilla, bread, its Corn!!! Corn isn't a Vegetable its grain.

 Glad I could clear that up for you, my nutritionist did for me. So those are the servings I try to hit, and the calories I try to meet every day. 

Now every 6th day I have a cheat day where I can go up to 1730 calories. That's 20% extra calories! It's letting my body know I'm not being starved, and it tells my body let the fat go! I like that. Don't you?
