Here’s an article on 10 Realistic Tips for a Healthy 2012

Over on Fit Mom in Training, she’s having a cool giveaway for 3 months access to GaiamTV.  Looks neat!  Ends Jan. 18th.

Enter to win the new book, Working Out Sucks! over on the Fit and Fun blog. They have 4 books to give away so chances are real good!  And their video is really cute too.

We are now 6 days in to the new year.  Even though I have been sick for all of it, I have kept with my food journal and my theme of fitness every day goals.  The goals I set for myself are some of the suggestions in the video below.

How to Jump Start Your Weight Loss Plan Part 1

It won’t be long before I’ll be jetting off to Oklahoma.  My stepdaughter is having her first baby!  While we are there though, I would love to try out the raw food restaurant Matthew Kenney, formerly 105 degrees.  Looks and sounds like an interesting experience.  Have you ever been there?

Oh and I made up a quick Mixed Berry Green Smoothie this morning to get some nutrients in my sick body lol  You’ll also find a video about eating clean that I shared on my Tumblr page from Cassey over at Blogilates. She is awesome!  Follow her!

That’s all for this Friday!  Hope you have a great weekend.

 

Here are some of my favorite finds for the week.  Enjoy!

Savory Style Breakfast recipe Must make that for breakfast ASAP

Story about how sweet potatoes led to weight loss

Snacking before bed? Here’s some ideas on what to eat.

Shared this one about body acceptance on my Facebook page this week.

Saved this one about designing a workout for your dream body but haven’t had a chance to read it yet.

Did you find anything interesting this week?

P.S. Kev and I are trying to win the beach blogger romance retreat with Marriott and would appreciate your votes.  You’ll have to LIKE their page first and then vote for Angie N.  You can do this daily through Sunday. Then they will chose 10 finalists and if we are chosen then we vote again from Aug. 3-17. THEN we find out the two winners.  Oh please let it be us!  You can even read the quick version of how we met. It’s a great story!

UPDATE: We made it to the Top 10 so you can now vote for Angie N every 24 hours until Aug. 17th.  We truly appreciate all the vote love!  And if we win, you all get to choose the activities we participate in when we go to one of their resorts.

 

Here are some of my favorite links that I came across this week……

Nelson over at The Breakfast Cook has a low carb cooking challenge this week. I have never done low carb so I don’t really know anything about it so check it out.

There are two healthy living/fitness conferences that I would love for Kevin (hubby) and I to attend one day.  There are mostly women attendees from what I have seen but I’m sure he wouldn’t mind. Ha! You might be familiar with the conferences Fit Bloggin ’11 & Healthy Living Summit.  They are both on my future wish list.  Speaking of them Healthy Living Summit is in CHICAGO this week and I couldn’t get a ticket because they sold out in like 12 MINUTES. Bummer!  Roni, the creator of Fit Bloggin is cool!  I have had the great pleasure of meeting her in Chicago a few years ago when a group was here for a Quaker sponsored event and they planned a blogger meet up.  Check these events out and I hope to meet you at one or both of them in the future!

Shelley over at My Journey to Fit has a great post on sports bras.  Perfect timing as I really need a few new ones and have no clue where to go.

One of my favorite blogger fitness inspirations is Tina from Carrots ‘N’ Cake. She just did a few videos for Fitness magazine recently and they are so cool.  You have to watch (scroll down a bit to see the videos but also be sure to enter your best tip for staying hydrated)!  This was all about 80′s fitness fads.

Did you find any great links/blog posts this week?  Feel free to link in the comments.

 

Today I just wanted to quickly share some of my favorite living healthy blog posts and sites that I found this week.  If you have come across any blog posts you would like to share feel free to link to them in your comments.

Jumpstart your Fitness

Great post that will get you thinking.  I have answered the 3 questions, what about you?

Q #1- I’m pretty much doing all I enjoy except running.  That I just haven’t been able to get into yet probably because of all the breathing issues I’m having but I’m still trying.  I am pretty sure that running won’t be MY THING but you never know.

Q #2- Best time a day for me to work out is in the afternoon and/or evening.

Q #3- I’m usually pretty good about this except for this past holiday weekend. Had good intentions of running but it never happened.  BUT got right back into working out when we returned home even though totally exhausted.

Let’s Move website

Just came across this website and it has a lot of great info on it. Check out the PSA’s too!

“Let’s Move will give parents the support they need, provide healthier food in schools, help our kids to be more physically active, and make healthy, affordable food available in every part of our country.”

One of my favorite fitness/foodie bloggers is Gina from The Fitnessista.  She got the new Turbo Fire workout that I have been looking at getting and did a quick video post to show some of the moves.  I definitely think I’ll be buying this one.  It seems to have some similar if not the same moves as Turbo Jam and we all know I LOVE Turbo Jam.

So there you have it, just a few links to share and I’m in the process of clearing out my Google reader of outdated blogs so I’m looking for new and fresh blogs about living healthy.  If you have any to recommend don’t forget to share in the comments.

Have a great weekend,

 

I just found out about the Daily Burn website on this blog post by Tim Ferriss and I’m happy I did. The daily burn website has so much to offer. It’s basically a place to track your fitness, weight loss, food intake and more.  There are groups (weight loss for women, Wii Fit, etc) and forums (Fitness & Exercise, General Health, Motivation and more) plus much more.

The Daily Burn reminds me of The Daily Plate where I have been a member of for quite some time but it seems easier to get around within the Daily Burn website.  There is no fee to sign up but they do offer an affordable PRO account that I might look into at some point.

The initial reason I decided to check it out is because of the food scanner iPhone App they introduced this week.  I am so addicted to my iPhone it’s crazy.  You have to read about the food scanner App because it sounds pretty cool.  The App is available for purchase through iTunes.  And the other App they have is for iGoogle which I’m going to play around with to see what it’s all about.

Daily Burn has a blog too!

Have you heard of the Daily Burn website?
