Now this is cool! OH and FREE! The Medical University of South Carolina has created a service that provides daily tips for weight loss! It’s called cell-U-lite (like your “cell’ phone…get it?). Basically you go to their website and schedule a TEXT reminder when you need it the most. For example, a text in the morning that tells you to use the stairs going to your office instead of the elevator. These are super useful and you actually look forward to receiving them lol:) Oh and did I mention it’s FREE! The only thing you could possibly lose out of the deal…is some weight yay! Click the pic for more info and to sign up!

So FINALLY I’ve been getting off my ass and starting to workout again! Yay! I’m easing back into it, which is why I love my Comcast On Demand Sports and Fitness section. I can workout in my PJ’s if I want to. OMG I tried this new workout the other day and it kicked my butt hardcore! It’s called 3 BikiniBodyToning and it’s a series of lunges and other exercises that shape your legs, thighs, hips, and of course the bootie! Oh and it works lemme tell ya. I did it two days ago and my thighs are STILL sore! They got a workout and a half. So if you have Comcast hit up Channel 1. If you don’t have it, click the pic above!

I swear to the Lord up above this works!!! I read online that honey will get rid of blemishes blah blah…but I didn’t really buy into it. Well last night I started to get a zit (ewwww…not fun) and I have crazy events this week (of course) and I HAAAD to get rid of it. Well…I grabbed some organic honey put some on top of the zit and covered it with a bandaid before I went to bed. When I woke up…THE ZIT WAS GONE!!! GONE! I was shocked! Naturally I want to share this secret with you…so enjoy! It does work!!! Yay to stopping zits dead in their tracks!

So was at Trader Joe’s the other day and found Fage Greek yogurt! I used to get it all the time in Philly (of course HG introduced me to it), but totally I forgot about it when I moved here. I would use it as a mayo substitute on sandwiches and in tuna fish. So good! One container is 80 calories and FAT FREE! Click the pic for more!

So jumping rope doesn’t sound like a lot of fun…trust me I know. Still tons of athletes jump rope in their training, because IT WORKS! Now I know this may not be possible to do in the comfort of your own home, so thanks to my HG email I came across this gadget. It’s a Pink JumpSnap, The Ropeless Jump Rope! PLUS…it comes equipped with a calorie counter, DVD workouts, and hand weights. Yay! It’s about $50.00, which sucks…but that’s about the same price of some of those bogus wonder pills we buy so why not splurge on something good for you? It would be nice if we could be a size 2 by sitting on the couch eating cookies, but it just ain’t so…dammit. Click the pic for more info!

 I LOVE this stuff! It works so well and it’s not sticky either!!! It’s about $10-$13 depending where you go. I know J’s Beauty Supply on 23rd and J in downtown carries it. Most places should, so go get some and enjoy your gorgeous hair!

…and this will help! My fav site, Hungry Girl, sent out a great email today about mood foods. To read the entire post, click the pic above. For example, to put yourself in a happy mood…strawberries will do the trick! This works because folate-rich foods

(like strawberries and salmon) cause a boost in serotonin levels in the brain. So help cheer yourself up by grabbing some strawberries to chow down on. Oh and right now it’s buy one get one free at Safeway (and they’re organic strawberries to boot)!

How many times have you used work as an excuse for not working out?

“Oh I want to hit up the gym today but I’m just soooo…exhausted from work I can’t.” Hey we’ve all

done it haha. Well those excuses won’t fly anymore! Here’s a stellar list on how to work out at work. Enjoy and get burning those cals!
