Daughter #2 introduced me to this website!!  It's amazing, it helps you track your food intake and exercise much like the Weight Watchers site, but this one is, are you ready ?  FREE!!!  My favorite "F" word!!!  Plus you can befriend people and encourage each others.  Daughter #2, her best friend and myself are having a good time following each other's progress!!  This is an awesome tool for anyone that wants/needs to lose weight or just stay healthy.  It will educate you on how many calories, fat, proteins and carbs you need for what ever you size and body weight are!!  Plus the exercise page tells you how many calories each exercise burns and how many extra calories you earn for the exercise!!  Even if you're not trying to lose weight, it's a good tool to keep you on healthy eating habits!!

I've done really good the last two weeks...YaY me!!  However, with that said today was a horrible day diet wise...Mr. Husband calls and wants to go to lunch, Joe T. Garcia's one of his favorite places!!  Since, he calls so rare to ask me for a lunch date, I didn't want to turn him down, plus I WANTED to go!!  So off we go the Joe's for lunch....yep, you guessed it, I completely botched my diet!!  But, it was worth it to spend an hour with him in the middle of the day!!  Yes, I'd do it again :-)  especially right now, Mr. Husband is working nights and I work days so we only see each other for about and hour sometimes two (if we're lucky) in the evenings.  I'm getting up at 5:00am and he's going to bed!!  It's sucks, but not complaining because at least he's working!!  I'd much rather have the opposite schedules than the alternative of him not working!!  And the bright side is the night work is only temporary.  YaY!!

Oh well, back on track with supper!!

Zumba!!

Bootsie is trying something new...ZUMBA!!  Starting tonight I'll be doing Zumba three nights a week!!  After several weeks of research I found a small gym that offters Zumba classes for only $15.00 a month, plus you have full access to the gym and equipment Monday - Friday.

Doctor says movement, get moving...so here I go!!

New Year, New Beginnings?

As we say "goodbye" to 2011 and say "hello" to 2012 Bootsie wonders what the new year will bring...

Here's a few changes/improvements that are in Bootsie's future:

1.  More prayer thanking the Lord for all blessings
2.  Healthier eating habits (no (or at least limit) fast food, imitation foods or processed foods)
3.  Increase exercise (walk at lest 30 minutes a day, consider joining a running club)
4.  Go Green as much as possible (replace household products with natural products)
5.  Better skin care (found natural products at Sprouts that are amazing)
6.  Spend more time with family (especially granddaughter and elderly family memebers)
7.  Handle household paper work daily (no more piles of mail to file)
8.  Volunteer/donate (women's shelter)
9.  Procrastinate less (clean out garage, closets, desk)
10.  Plan a vegetable garden (this will help with #2)

This list is where I can see and read it everyday!!  Have already made several changes and it's only day five of the new year!!  Whoo hoo!!  Bootsie's on a roll!!

Life is good, keep it real!!
