Curious George Twitter Dance Party #CuriousGeorgeMoms

March 20, 2012 by 1 Comment

Calling all Curious George fans!! Exercise your creativity! Do your children love to dance? I have four little monkeys of my own who never seem to stop dancing, they choreograph their own routines and perform them for us. Dance is a wonderful form of expression and exercise for adults and children alike!

George is celebrating the arts with his first ever Curious George Dance Contest! Video tape your children sharing their best moves to the theme song of Curious George for a chance to be featured on a Curious George DVD. They might even win a visit from George himself!  You can read details and learn more about this fun contest here!

Health Resources From Centrum’s #NutritionPossible

February 13, 2012 by 9 Comments

Walking down the Vitamin isle at an grocery store can seem a bit overwhelming, there are so many different brands, vitamins and supplements to choose from. How does one know which vitamins are most beneficial? Do you know what is lacking from your diet that you might need to supplement?

The makers of Centrum® know that navigating the supplement aisle can be confusing and choosing the right foods to make sure you’re getting everything in your diet can be challenging. NutritionPossible.comcwas created to make nutrition information easy to access and understand. Everyone is different and our lives and needs are constantly evolving, so NutritionPossible.com provides tools and information to help you sort through the abundance of information and figure out what’s right for you. It’s a simple tool in a confusing landscape and focuses on three key areas -

Supplements -The key to nutrition is making sure you are getting the right nutrients. NutritionPossible.com has the information you need to make more informed choices about how to enhance your diet with supplements.

Food & Diet – Sorting through all the different information about what to eat and how much can be overwhelming. The goal is to help you identify the right nutrient–packed foods to include in your diet.

All of this can be done with a simple assessment test on NutritionPossible.com.

 

 I took the assessment test and I have to admit, it was right on. I need to work on my sleeping habits, try to get in a 20 minute power nap and work on eating more veggies and fish.

17 Day Diet – Chicken Vegetable Soup

August 16, 2011 by Leave a Comment
This recipe is from Cycle One of the 17 Day Diet. (Seems to be the same recipe  in the Dr. Oz book “You: On a diet”.)

The 17 day diet is broken up into cycles that take 17 days each, patterned to confuse the metabolism. The 17 day diet cycles also call for 17 minutes of exercise a day. Cycle 1 allows 1,200 calories a day, Cycle 2 allows 200 more calories and 2 carbs servings, Cycle 3 allows more calories including 1 small snack. In Cycle 4 you should hit your goal weight and maintain it from there.

The meal plan seems to be a common sense, eat good, feel good diet plan. High protein, low to no carb, lots of fish, chicken, fruits and veggies.  

I edited the original recipe to add a bit more flavor as per my sisters advice! Glad I took it!

Ingredients

4 Chicken breasts (I used one well cleaned rotisserie chicken shredded)
2 cups chopped cabbage
3 large carrot sliced bite size
1 onion diced or chopped
4 celery stocks diced
1 can crushed tomatoes, large (I used Rotel)
1 can chicken broth (10.75oz)
1 Cup of water
.5 teaspoon salt, (I use sea salt)
1/4 teapoon black pepper
I also used a bit of garlic powder and Tabasco 

Directions

Bake chicken till done and cut into chunks. Place all ingredients except the chicken in large pan and simmer for one hour or until veggies are soft. Add chicken and heat thoroughly.
Makes 6 servings
Bon Appetite!
