Yep. She's got a 4 mile one on the same DVD as the three mile walk and I'm telling you it's great too.
Again, Leslie Sansone tells you to slow down if you have to, to only keep up with her if you can. I like her because all of the people behind her aren't all gorgeous. They're beautiful but you know, they're average people. Nobody weights 100 pounds soaking wet. Not to say that some don't have a shape because they do. But it's really nice to see that some are just normal and have an average body. To me, that is just so real. Who needs to look at a Barbie wanna be while working out? Why, I think that's a lot of the reason people don't rent DVDs or tapes of this nature. Because everytime there is some beauty queen pretending she needs this. Bleh who needs that.
Nope. The people in Leslie's tapes/dvd's are real people and that's a plus for everyone.
Besides, walking is the best way to lose weight and these tapes make it so easy because you don't go anywhere at all and yet, you walk away the pounds. So try it. C'mon what have you got to lose? Besides the weight :D
Thats it for now and remember to please eat to live don't live to eat

Another DVD Review
Hello everyone,
Okay, so I have worked out again, to another DVD. Leslie Sansone's walking away the pounds 3 mile walk. Let me just say this is awesome. Put on your tennis shoes, stand in front of the television and start walking. There is some kicking, lifting your knees but mostly it's walking.
Another great thing about this DVD is that she tells you how to modify the moves so if you can't kick high it's not a big deal, just kick. And, if you can't kick at all, just walk don't stop walking. You can stop the tape at 1, 2, or be like me, and walk the full three miles. There's a warm up which is part of the first mile and it's just so effective. How do I know? Because I have been walking with her for a week now and I have dropped a couple of pounds. Not much I know but you figure two pounds just by walking? Anyone can do this.
On a scale of 1 to 10 ten being buy this DVD, it's a TEN!!! So there you go. And, I will be back with her take on Yoga
Until next time please remember to eat to live and not to live to eat.

Sorry I have been gone but....
I was celebrating my Anniversary. Wedding Anniversary. We had the best time but I'm sure you don't want to know all about it. What I will tell you about it though is that my husband and I took a tour of four vineyards. We tasted many many MANY different wines. Some we liked, some not so much and some were well, gross is a word Yes? But all in all, this experience taught me a lot.
First of all, I'm not that big of a red wine lover. Sure, it's the BEST for you of any wine to drink and if your going to drink a wine, reds the one. However, a lot of those are just too dry. But I did enjoy many of the whites and merlots.
But why am I telling you this? Simple. I gained weight. Oh sure your going to say it's because I ate out for two days and sure, that's part of the reason. But, wine like any other alcohol is really well, fattening.
Nothing puts weight on you faster than drinking any type of booze. One good tip I know though is that the lighter color the alcohol the less calories. At least for most of them. Also, did you know that if it's heavy in color, your about 90% guaranteed a hangover? Yep. It's really true.
Gin, Vodka rarely give you headaches of any type much less a hangover in the morning. But the hard stuff didn't get that name because the punch is soft. (Yeah bad joke)
All in all, no matter what you drink remember, it's going to put calories on you and calories are hard to get off.
Okay, I'm going to come back tomorrow with another workout DVD and I'll tell you what it's all about.
Until then, remember to live to eat don't eat to live.

Going On A Trip?
Well go. Ah, wanna watch your weight? Okay, so do that. I know your wondering how but I'm telling you it's easier than you think.
I'm writing this because I'm going on a trip Monday and won't be gone long but hey, I will be out and that usually means a dinner or three out. But this is what you do.
One tip anyway, order your dinner but, ask them to box half of the dinner BEFORE it hits your plate. They'll do this for you as your still paying for it but this way, you WON'T eat all of it. Especially dishes like pasta which are always too big anyway.
That's what is wrong with this country. I remember when a regular hamburger (You know, the ones now served in the Happy Meal) were the biggest sellers for the adults. Hey, they had to start with something right? And they did. The country was a lot smaller and I mean it's waists. LOL
Anyway, while on a trip, if you can, get a room with a kitchen. That way, you'll have a refrigerator and you can bring some snacks that won't kill you. That's what I'm doing.
Although, I'm being bad because I am going to four winerys and I'm telling you know, this is something I have always longed to do. It comes with a picnic lunch to and while that scares me somewhat cause who knows what you'll get? I'm excited all at the same time.
I'll be back and tell you what it was like. But my point really is this, while on a trip it's okay to splurge because it's a trip!!!! And unless your traveling all the time on business, then it's okay to go off the diet for a few days. It'll be waiting for you when you come home. The diet that is.
Until the next post please remember to eat to live and not to live to eat

Another Workout Review
Recently I had purchased another workout video. I love to have a lot of different workouts in my library so I don't become bored. I think that's a great idea. I went to Walmart and found some weighted balls. I picked up two of them.They each weigh only five pounds but also come in ten pounds as well. I thought that might be a bit too much to start with and when I feel they're to easy, I'll move up.
I also bought a DVD to go along with them. Why not right? The price wasn't too bad on the pocket book either.
The other night I put the DVD in after putting my workout clothes on and started this this tape.
While I'm not going to say anything bad about it really because it all depends on how in shape you are. I will say that it's a cardio blast of 45 minutes of pretty hard working out. You need a chair which is the only thing I hate because then I have to lug a chair into the living room and I hate that.
It's great though but you WILL be sore the next day and she tells you that. I like when they're honest about it. All in all it's really good and you'll really feel the results. You'll find you have muscles that you didn't know you had. But thats with any type of exercise so just remember to do something.
So there you go. It's pretty good and you really will get the hang of it.
Until the next time, please remember to eat to live don't live to eat

A New Recipe for Chicken
Hello everyone,
I hope your having a wonderful weekend. So far, I am. Let's hope it continues for all of us.
The reason I'm writing is because a lot of people just get so tired of chicken. What do I do with it that's not been done? Really, there isn't a lot of things and yet, chicken is one of the most versitile meats you can cook.
Have you ever tried chicken cutlets? They're great. For some of you that really don't know what that is and Yes, some don't. It's just a really thin piece of chicken that's both boneless and skinless. It tastes really wonderful cooked many ways but this is how I made it tonight. If you try it, I hope you like it and, if you do or don't, please let me know. Also, got a recipe that you think I might like? Send it to me cause I'm always on the look out.
What you need:
Chicken cutlets. (this depends on how many people your serving) but remember, they're thin so usually you can give a good eater two.
one cup bread crumbs
an egg
parmigiano cheese (about 1/2 cup
salt and pepper to taste
2 cloves of garlic (if you like more, put it)
Crushed Red Pepper flakes (one teaspoon)
Poultry Seasoning(optional)
What I did was I put all of this in a food processor and let it go. I pulsed it about four times and it came out great.
Take the egg and put it into a seperate bowl and beat it
Now, some people use flour and you can for a coating.
Take the chicken and dip it into the egg and then into the mixture.
Heat a pan and put just enough Olive or Grapeseed oil to coat the bottom of the pan and turn it on medium heat.
Place the chicken in and cook each side for three minutes.
It's done. Serve with your favorite side dish and your favorite veggie.
There you go. A new dish. A different way to eat chicken.
(NOTE: You can even fry this in the pan and then place it between a wonderful crusty bread with a little low-fat mayo and tomato and you've got a great Sandwich)
So, until next time, please remember, eat to live and don't live to eat.

Feeling bad cause you want to Pig Out?
Don't. Actually, it's really a good thing to every now and then eat something you really want to. Stop the guilt by having just a small piece of cake. Or, have the salami sandwich that you've been dying to have. Just use mustard. And hey, isn't it mustard on Salami anyway? Exactly. The fat free condiment is wonderful and adds spice to any sandwich.
Want a pice of pie? Have it. Just don't eat that huge piece that you may have eaten before. Eat a smaller piece and you'll be amazed at just how sadisfied you are.
Everyone thinks that a live it is hard but in reality, a diet is. It's a tough thing to not eat any of the foods you love. So don't do that. Do what I do and Live It. If I want a candy bar, I have one. Sure, I try and make it one of the low-fat ones. Yes, they're out there. But every now and then you know, I just grab something really yummy. At Easter for instance, I eat a Cadburry egg. Do you know how bad those really are for you? YIKES!!!! But I had them. That's right. Them. I ate two. Although, not in the same day. So you see, you really CAN have you cake and eat it to. Just not that big of a pice
And tonight's dinner was great. I made a steak sandwich for myself on really wonderful Italian bread but instead of french fries, I roasted some veggies. It was great I'm telling you.
Then after you've eaten something a little bad for you, try working out to a DVD or dancing with your iPod. Walk for thirty minutes. You'd be amazed at how good you feel and if you do this let's say once a week, you'll do it guilt free.
Until next time remember to eat to live and not to live to eat.
