Last Day Of The Year

Today is the last day of 2007!!! What are your plans tonight? I hope what ever you decided to do, whether is is go out or stay in you have a fun and safe New Years celebration.

If you have decided to lose weight for the upcoming new year you have come to the right place. Here at A Day In The Zone there will be plenty of tip and advice, plus my own personal postings of how I am doing. So you can do one of a few things to find me, subscribe to my blog, link, bookmark or just remember the link http://www.adayinthezone.com/! Very simple and remember you can email me anytime at adayinthezone@gmail.com anytime and for any reason.

There are also a couple of websites that have jumped in on the weight loss bandwagon. Discover Health has the National Body Challenge which I blogged briefly about last month. Click here to read about it. Registration began on December 27th and the challenge starts on January 5, 2007.

Then there is the one put out by my favorite show..Biggest Loser! They are challenging America to lose a whoping 1 million pounds! Boy I think that we as a nation could stand to lose some weight, especially with all the disturbing reports coming in! So the Million Pound Match Up begins tomorrow as well as a couples version of the show Biggest Loser. So if you are interested in that one, click the Million Pound Match Up link and enter your email address. I am not sure if it will be free or if you will have to join the Biggest Loser Club.

So good luck and here is to a new you in 2008!

Your Job

Is your job like mine? Sitting at a desk all day and the only exercise you get is the occasional trip to the bathroom, the short walk to the shipping and receiving department to drop off paperwork or even maybe the few minutes you can find to go to the lunch room and grab yet another cup of coffee? I often wondered if I had a job that allowed me to move around more if I would actually be less lazy? Ummm..probably not!

There are a lot of jobs that can help you stay physically fit though..you could be a package deliverer, a dog walker, a bartender or heck, even work a a fitness center! I think the job that would give you the best overall body work out would be a mover. You would be using all the muscles in your body and probably would not have to go to the gym! Just check out the movers New York has or any of the movers in any city or town. Most that I have seen are pretty much fit or in decent shape.

If you don't have a job like one of those listed above, there are plenty of things you can do. You could go for a walk, work out at the gym, work out at home or go for a jog. If you have a private office at work, shut the door and do a mini work out in there. Use your imagination and have fun with it. Exercise is one of the keys to weight loss. Most of all you will feel great and energized!

New Years Resolution's

Will you make it? They say 86% of people will flunk out!

So New Years is just days away. Have you decided what your resolution will be? Are you going to lose weight, quit smoking or drinking? Maybe spend more time with your family....Like me..I am fortunate to still have my Great Grandmother and I don't spend nearly as much time with her as I should! Save money or spend money? Me, I wanna save money...I would really like a new mattress ! A good nights sleep is key to good health as well!

What ever your resolution is, make it meaningful and a reachable goal. Don't stress out if you fall down, just dust yourself off and start again. Nobody is perfect and we will all have bad days but it certainly doesn't mean you can't do it. For instance babies, imagine what this world would be like if all the babies in the world decided they were going to give up learning how to walk and talk. We would have millions of adults whining and crawling all over the place! (That is not a pretty picture!) What do they do? Fall, cry and pick themselves up and try, try again.

With that said, I wish you all the best of luck!

Look out for some changes around here...I will be posting an "About Me" and would like to post some "About You". I would like to make this blog a fun place to be. A place where we can all learn together, have fun, share stories, ideas, tips and so one. So look out for the changes and if you would like to email me you can at adayinthezone@gmail.com .

Good Way To Advertise

So I have been sitting here thinking of a way to promote this blog..I guess there are a million and one ways to do it. I could join blog social sites, have a contest, comment on other peoples blogs and I guess I could just keep going on with the list. But what if I used advertising pens? A pen is something everyone uses. I could leave them in random places like the bank, at a store, restaurants..do a oops I left my pen! It would have my URL on it and if you are a "pen thief" (like me) you are going to use the pen and then place it in your purse or pocket with out thinking about it. One day you will pull that pen out again and think "Oh geezz, look there is a website, hmm, I think I will check it out!"

Yes, no? I think I will give it a shot!

Fried Rice

I love Chinese food..so when I received this recipe in an email I was thrilled. First of all, it is cheaper cause I could make it at home and second of all I don't have to use up a huge amount of my WW's point to eat it. Granted it is not the authentic Veggie Fried Rice, but it still tastes good.


Vegetable Fried Rice

Serves: 8

Using brown rice will give you lasting energy.

INGREDIENTS
3 cups cooked brown rice
1 (10 oz.) package frozen mixed vegetables (or 2 cups fresh vegetables, chopped)
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoons olive oil
3 teaspoons low sodium soy sauce

DIRECTIONS
1. In a large pan, heat oil on medium-high heat. Add onion and rice. Stir and cook until onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
2. Reduce heat to medium and add vegetables and meat to rice mixture. Cook 2 minutes for frozen vegetables and 5-7 minutes for fresh vegetables.
3. Spread the mixture out to the sides of the pan, leaving space in the middle for the eggs.
4. Add the eggs, and scramble until cooked firm.
5. Mix the eggs with the rice and vegetables, then sprinkle with soy sauce.

Healthy Kids

I know off hand how hard it is to get kids to eat healthy. My son is 12. soon to be 13 and he is not overly fussy, but there are things he will not eat.

If you have a fussy child then here are some tips for you.

• Do not not force, bribe or coerce your child to eat.
• Set a good example by eating at least five fruits and vegetables, three whole grain products, and three dairy servings per day. Remember, kids learn by example.
• Make mealtimes pleasant. Have fun, talk and laugh. Eat as a family at the dinner table.
• Encourage your children to help in meal planning, preparation, and cleanup. We are all very busy and you need family time when ever you can get it.
• Back off when mealtime becomes a power struggle. Thinks, is it really worth it?
• Accept food binges as phases that will pass.
• Accept the fact that your child is an individual and will dislike certain foods. My son refuses to eat cheese!!
• Do not give up on introducing your child to new foods.
• As the parent, you are responsible for deciding when and what to serve. The child is responsible for deciding how much (if any) they will eat.
• If your child is a fussy eater, give him/her a multivitamin-mineral supplement.

One Holiday Down

one to go! I hope every one had a very Merry Christmas! Mine was good, had fun and I am please to say, thanks to my mother in law, I didn't over do it with the food!

We went to my in laws house yesterday for dinner. She had ham, which was great, green beans with bacon, squash, turnip mixed with mashed potatoes and scalloped potatoes. I didn't eat much for the most part. I had ham, a little bit of green beans and some scalloped potatoes.

The reason I thank her for helping me not eat so much is because she loaded the green beans with butter and added bacon, the scalloped potatoes had that same over buttered and under cheesed feel to them as well! Plus, I just had my mom's scalloped potatoes on Thanksgiving and like my husband said "Kinda hard to go from your mom's to my mom's..No comparison at all!" I don't like to complain about other peoples food but, when you need Ingersoll Rand air tools to get the food out of the pan and a strainer before you can eat it, it's pretty bad. But, I sucked it up and went very light on the food. I skipped on the apple pie, had a few glasses of wine and for the most part..I had a good Christmas.

What about you? Did you have to eat something that you were not to happy about having to eat just to save face?

Vacation and Exercise

Going on vacation? Why not take a vacation that involves fitness? There are a ton of things you could do. Go on a ski trip, a bicycle tour or even going to a theme park involves exercise, all the walking and standing and more walking! If the theme park offers paddle boats then go hop on one of those for a wicked leg work out! Interested in nature parks? Take a hike on a trail...the possibilities are endless.

If you do make the vacation one based around exercise, make sure it is something the WHOLE family will enjoy. Nothing is worse than doing something with your family that only you enjoy. Also be sure that you and everyone going can endure it physically. You wouldn't want to over exert yourself or someone else. So go ahead plan the vacation, dust off the luggage and most of all HAVE FUN!

Have You Taken Them?

Have you ever taken supplements to help you lose weight? I am not proud to say it but, I have. About 5 or 6 years ago I tried hydroxycut. I never really knew if it worked because I was going to the gym and really working hard to lose weight. I never lost any phenomenal amounts of weight. These days I just stick to the old fashion way of eating correctly and exercise.

Did you ever try them? Did you think they worked for you?

Why Drink Water?

Some people like plain water, like my mom and some people have to have something in water to get it down. Me personally, I can drink water plain. But why drink water at all?? Every single diet you are on tells you DRINK WATER and drink atleast eight, 8 oz glasses a day..but why??

• Water fills you up
• It helps your skin look better
• Flushes away impurities
• Keeps you hydrated

If you can't drink water plain, add something to it. Fresh lemon or lime juice is my favorite or you could add Crystal Light. Crystal Light comes in a variety of flavors and it also comes in decafe! The long and short of it all, plain water is best, but if you can't do plain, try one of the alternatives.

Tonight's Dinner

So...one of my weakness's, well that would be spaghetti. Not pasta like elbows, ziti, rotini or any of the other endless shapes and kinds that are out there... it has to be SPAGHETTI!! Do you know how hard it is to eat a serving of spaghetti. Unfortunately you don't get very much on your plate...it's so not fair!!

I learned a couple of ways around that meek little serving. There is my favorite, the spaghetti squash trick. You buy a spaghetti squash, bake it and then with a fork, run it through the meat and it comes out in strands like..you guessed it - Spaghetti!

This one is what my mother in law does...she doesn't eat pasta. When her husband makes his wonderful sauce she has it over fresh or frozen steamed green beans. I thought she was off her rocker, I tried it and it was pretty good.

So my dinner consisted of a little bit more spaghetti than I should of had, lots of sauce and a big salad.

Portion Control

I know, portion control stinks!! But if you are trying to lose weight, it is a must!

I know how hard it is when you go to a friend's house for dinner to make sure that you don't over stuff your belly. At home, I measure and or weigh everything I eat and I write it down in a journal.

But at a friend's house you may not want to dirty more dishes or bust out your scale. So here is an idea for you..

• Take your plate and divide it in 1/2 with an imaginary line.
• One 1/2 fill up with veggies.
• On empty side you will draw another imaginary line and split it in 1/2 as well..follow me??
• One section will be for your starch...now do not make it a huge scoop.
• The last section will be for your meat..no towers!
• Wall-la..portion control

Even simpler...if your friend is using disposable plates..like the foam..not good for the enviroment... ones that are already divided into sections, then you are all set!!

Portion control made easy!

Are You Cooking A Holiday Meal?

Is the whole family coming over to your house for dinner. Are they craving you potatoes or homemade stuffing? We all know part of making a great meal is alot of work and part of it involves "taste testing". That is something you want to avoid, as hard as it will be. You can consume a lot of undocumented (if you have a food journal) calories that way. I understand that you want to make sure it has the right amount of spices or the right texture, but it can and will result in extra pounds.

Since John-Fat to Fit will be cooking Christmas dinner..Here are some tips on how to avoid taste testing.

• Sugar free gum is your friend, chew it!
• Use a 1/4 teaspoon if HAVE to taste test your food.
• Try to only fix what you are going to eat, leaving yourself no chance for seconds.
• If you have prepared more food than you need, portion it into individual containers and freeze or refrigerate immediately.
• Don't snack while cooking meals

Food For Your.....Hair

Literally!!

So you have lost some weight and are looking good, well that is except for your hair!! Is you hair dry or dull looking? Does it need a boost too..well here are some "recipes" for luscious locks..


Vinegar Conditioner

Vinegar helps soften hair and makes it shine. Don't worry, they say the smell will fade when your hair dries.

4 eggs
2 Tbsp grapeseed oil
2 Tbsp vegetable glycerine
1 cup filtered water
2 tsp apple cider vinegar

Whip all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Massage into freshly shampooed hair and scalp. Leave on for up to 15 minutes, and then rinse thoroughly. Unused conditioner must be tightly sealed and refrigerated, and will keep for 3-4 days

This one below, sounds like something you could eat but it is not recommended!

Deep-Conditioning Honey & Yogurt Hair Mask
All of the ingredients in this recipe moisturize and soften your hair.

2 eggs, beaten
1 cup plain, full-fat yogurt
2 Tbsp grapeseed oil (or olive oil)
1 Tbsp honey

Whip all ingredients in a blender until smooth. Apply to dry hair, concentrating on hair ends. Leave on for 15 minutes, covering with a shower cap to contain any drips. Shampoo as usual. Unused conditioning mask must be tightly sealed and refrigerated, and will keep for 3-4 days.

I think I will have to try the second one...

Biggest Loser Season Finale

The end is here and I am sooo excited to see how well all of the contestants have done The Black team has dominated all spots for the finale. They should be proud, considering the were the unchosen ones. Every contestant on that show has a lot to be proud of, losing weight is not easy. I hope it becomes a lifelong change for them, they had been chosen for an opportunity of a life time to work with obviously, some of the best trainers.

Who is going to win?? I guess we will find out tonight!

Got Thunder Thighs??

Yeah...so do I. Here is a way to slim them down!


You can try Two Leg Lifts:

If you have hardwood floors (like me), grab a mat or something soft to lay on.

Lay on either side of your body, doesn't really matter which side you start with, you will work the other side after!

Keeping your legs straight and knees together lift both of your legs in the air. Toes will be pointed forward and feet are flexed. Hold for a count of two and lower. If you need balance, put your hand on the floor. Make sure to only lift your feet and legs about three inches off the floor. Do this as many times as you like, be sure to do the same amount on the other side though, for one set.

Now flip over and do the other side!

That's it! Simple enough...right?

Do you feel the burn yet?? If not, make it harder: Try holding in highest position for 30+ seconds instead of (or in addition to) doing repetitions.

Targets Inner thigh, Outer thigh, Hips, Obliques

Detoxify Your Body

Have you every tried this?? I haven't and often wonder if it was some sort of marketing scam. Now don't get me wrong, as most dieters do, we look into anything and everything. Some plans say it is painful and you pretty much need to stay at home. I actually found one site that had pictures of what supposedly comes out of your body! I'll just say that it was pretty gross!

If you have tried this or know someone who has, please share your experience. If you have not, but just want to share your thoughts, please feel free.

Vending Machines

They are not my friend!! We have them at work and of course they are always full of goodies. Chips, candy, cookies, little bags of mixed nuts, oh and the snack cakes! Snack cakes are my weakness. I defiantly try not to keep any change or one dollar bills with me! What about you? What is your vending machine weakness?

If you must have a snack try to go for the Pretzels. I know, not going to cure a sweet tooth! If it is something sweet you crave, skip the fruit pies and go for the the Ho Ho's or a Hershey's Sweet Escape Triple Chocolate Bar!

Fruit Pie

Ho Ho's

Another Tip: Find a couple of friends at work and share them. That will defianlty cut the calories!

Holiday Eating

Okay, so we made it through Thanksgiving, now it is time for Christmas dinner and then New Years Eve. I barely survived Thanksgiving goodies! How about you?

Here are some tips on surviving the last two holidays of the year.

• eat before you go
• don't stand around the food table
• drink water
• socialize, walk around the room
• say "no", I know, easier said than done
• bring fruit or veggie platter to the party
• watch the alcohol, especially if you are driving!
• don't let some else serve you, be in control
• remember portion sizes
• stay away, far far far away from those people who insist you eat, aka "FOOD PUSHERS"

My Other Bad Habit

Besides being overweight, I smoke. Yup, I sure am full of them! There are times I think why, why do I smoke, I should quit. There are other times, like what happened just now that make me think "I smoke because I want to and I guess, I like it!"

There is a guy I work with who is an ex-smoker. He was really very successful at quitting and I am proud of him. BUT is it within his right to follow me down the hall and ask "Ann Marie, where are you going? Ann Marie?"

My answer "Outside."

Him "For what?"

Me " To smoke."

Him" Come on Ann Marie, I thought you were gonna quit! What are you going outside for and why are you still smoking."

Me "Are you going to keep following me and I smoke because I want to. I could quit tomorrow and be hit by a bus."

UGGGGGG, JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!! I ALREADY KNOW IT IS NOT GOOD FOR ME!!!

Time For Refocusing

I really hate it when I stop taking care of myself. What I mean is, how I put myself second. I really want to lose weight and I try hard, but for some reason I always seem to lose focus. I don't really want to wait until the New Year, disaster could strike between now and then. So without fail, I will get up in the morning and go back, back to Weight Watchers!

FYI

Just wanted to let everyone know as a general announcement that adayinthezone.blogspot.com is now www.adayinthezone.com if you are linked to me and would continue to do so, please change the link to www.adayinthezone.com . Thanks and Happy Holidays!!

I Got a New Gadget!!

Sometime ago I went to a friend's Pampered Chef party. I wasn't particularly interested in going, but she is my friend and wanted me there, so of course I went. I purchased a few new kitchen gadgets and one was a much needed item in my house.

Can you guess what it is for?? My husband thought it was a new way to mince up onion! Okay honey, have another. He has a great imagination!

No, I didn't think it looked like a new way to mince up onion either! It is actually and egg separator! Separates the yolk and the whites. I actually thought of my son when I saw this. He has a fear of eating egg yolk. Sometime ago he found out that the baby chickens came from the yolk and he has not eaten an egg yolk in over 6 years, btw, he is 12!

So if that is your fear too or maybe you are just trying to get healthy, this is the perfect kitchen tool. The days of egg all over the place in my house are a thing of the past! Plus, since I myslf have been trying to eat better, this will halp making breakfast a lot easier!

National Body Challenge

As we all know the new year is on it's way, so what does that mean? Time for new resolutions for your health. If you smoke, like me, you could resolve to quit smoking. If you are over weight you could resolve to lose weight, again like me!

Diamonds ARE A Girl's Best Friend

Has your fiancé or wife worked really hard this year at losing weight? Are her rings too big now? Why not surprise her with a new engagement ring or wedding rings? G o ahead, check out beautiful engagement rings, you know you want to! Get her one that will fit her finger perfectly and is as beautiful as she is. We all know that diamonds are women’s best friend! Right?

Want Clear Skin?

Ever consider that maybe your diet is the cause for your pimples?

Those pimples are cause by carb-triggered jumps in insulin. Insulin then boosts the level of hormones that keep the production of skin oil in check. It will also trigger keratin growth, possibly blocking follicles. The long and short of it all, that is how a zit is formed.

So eat more lean meats, seafood, veggies and whole grains. I know easier said than done!

Why Are People Like This?

You know what really pisses me off?? The fact that I have been trying to lose weight for god knows how long now and my husbands total disregard of it…until now!!

Now that he has issues with high blood pressure. His blood pressure is so high he is now on medication, at 31 years old. Issues with the 50 lbs he needs to lose, because his doctor has a problem with it. Now that he needs to lose, things need to be different. You didn’t give a shit about working with me a month ago, but now you want things to be a certain way??? GET OUTTA HERE!!

Lower Your Sodium Intake

As we all know, to much sodium is not good for us. It can cause your body to retain fluids and that can be harmful to people with high blood pressure and heart disease. If you have liver or kidney disease, your included. The average American consumes 2,500-5,000 mgs of sodium a day!! Glad I am not the average American! 1,100-3,300 mgs of sodium is what you really need.

Here are tips for lowering your sodium.

• LAY OFF THE SALT
• Look for low sodium or no salt added
• go with fresh veggies when possible or frozen
• don't eat so many pre-packaged meals
• use more spices, pepper, garlic powder or onion
• look at food labels, sodium content changes amongst brands
• condiments are sodium filled as well, use them sparingly

Healthy Eating On A Budget

Trust me I know all to well how hard it is to eat the right food when you are on a budget. The healthy food always seems to more expensive, then say snack foods. If you look at all the "great" sales at the grocery store it is always buy 1 get 1 on chips, cookies..etc. What about buy 1 get 1 fruits or veggies? Always look at the sale fliers and plan!

Here are some tips on eating healthy when you have a budget to stick to:

When cooking a big meal, make extra to freeze.

Use less expensive cuts of meat for casseroles that you slow cook; add extra vegetables and beans to make the meal go further.

Look high and low to find the less expensive generic or store brands on grocery shelves.

Take advantage of specials on broth, soups, pasta, rice, canned veggies, even bread and meat.

You can freeze perishable items (such as meat, milk, and even bread) in smaller portions to use as needed. So stock up if you find a great sale.

Nail Fungus

Do you suffer from toenail fungus? If so, you are not alone. About 35 million other people do as well! Getting rid of nail fungus is a hard battle to win. This fungus lives under your nails where it is not so easy to get at. If you are looking to get rid of your hideous nail fungus, try ZetaClear. ZetaClear is clear and is up from natural oils. It is easy to use, just brush ZetaClear on to your nail affected with the fungus. So what are you waiting for, get rid of that toenail fungus and start showing off your feet again.

A Reason NOT To Go To A Strip Club

I am sure there are a million and one reasons why not to go to a strip club. I personally don't care if my husband goes.

Now I may have changed my mind, even though the chances of this happening again are slim to none.

Several people, around 40, contracted Tuberculosis form a stripper in St. Maarten. Geez, go on vacation and come home with a potentially deadly disease! The stripper was from the Dominican Republic. Boy, I am sure glad they sent her back!

They think they have found everyone who was around her and I am shocked that only 40 people tested positive. Lots of vacationers in St. Maarten, I can't imagine that they found everyone!!

Another Loss

Weight Loss is moving along well. I lost another 3.6 pounds this week for a total of 14. Not to shabby if you ask me. I guess it is all about being focused and staying motivated. That is really all I can do. I look at it as, if there is a small gain one week it is ok, although my ultimae goal is to lose every week. So far, that has happened.

I can't Wait for Tonight

So tonight the Biggest Loser is on and I am so excited. I have watched this show since it first came on. I love to watch the contestants change from week to week. So with 3 people gone and more to go I can’t wait to see what will happen on tonight’s show

I don’t have any favorites yet, usually I have at least one but I try to route for them all. They have overcome great obstacles and they all deserve the support. This year there seem to me a few more whiners on the show, so it makes it a little harder to decide.

Important: Once I get a ping back from you (I promise to do the best I can), I will add your anchor text and the associated link you designate as "Host Tag" here, replacing one of the "ViralTags" from the matrix above. As more and more bloggers copy and paste this matrix, the more backlinks you will have with your anchor text. If everybody who copy and paste from your blog does the same, pretty soon this will spread and go viral. So, the sooner you participate, the more links with anchor text you will receive.
