Christy http://theblogfrog.com/886979/forum/146190/the-off-season.htmlSun, 05 Feb 2012 17:32:45 GMTI have a 15 year old son who really lacks confidence.

The last time I wore a bikini was way back when I was in college. Now after having five children my body just isn't the same. I bet you can relate! I am determined to get back in shape, feel comfortable about my body and by my 34th birthday on May 11, 2012 wear a bikini once again. Then I thought I bet there are a ton of women out there that share this very same goal. If you want to wear that tiny bathing suit once again I invite you to get bikini ready by spring right along with me!

I hope it is of encouragement to you: www.thepaperbagprincesses.blogspot.com Blessings, Christy http://theblogfrog.com/886979/forum/135850/slippery-slopes.htmlFri, 18 Nov 2011 02:43:08 GMT Now that the Holidays are approaching, how can families ensure that they don’t overeat? #1) Exercise more in weeks before the Holidays. This will help you burn extra calories that you may eat during holidays or periods of stress. #2) Eat breakfast. This will help control your hunger throughout the day and help you avoid overindulging. #3) Lighten up the recipes. Try using fat free or sugar free ingredients in your favorite recipes to cut down on the calories. #4) Watch your portion sizes. Skip the temptation of a second helping and enjoy a desert instead. There will be leftovers for tomorrow to enjoy again! #5) Slowly saver your food. Eating slowly will help you to feel full and satisfied without over-indulging. For times, when you need a healthier dessert, try incorporating flax seed. Flax seed is high in most of the B vitamins, magnesium, and manganese, but it is also rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, high in insoluable and soluable fiber, and is perhaps our best source of lignans, which convert in our intestines to substances that tend to balance female hormones. In addition, lignans may help prevent Type 2 diabetes. A delicious way to incorporate flax into a daily diet is to mix flax powder into oatmeal for a satisfying snack or even to "cheat" every once in awhile and place them into brownies!

It is visited by thousands of tourists every year. Manali literally means the Abode of Manu. It was named after the sage Manu as he survived the life of mankind after a great flood which had destroyed the state. Its breath taking landscape, well defined snow capped peaks and the clear water of Beas River make it an excellent place for holiday. It is also popular as the Switzerland of India. Being a hill station, it provides a lot of adventure sports like skiing, hiking, mountaineering, trekking, paragliding, rafting and mountain biking. RohtangPass It is the world famous tourist destination in the state. Situated at the highest point of 4112m on the Manali Keylong road, it provides a breathtaking view of mountains raised above the clouds. HadimbaTemple It, known as the Dhungiri Temple also, is one of the most important temples, built in 1553. It is dedicated to Hadimba Devi, a character in the Indian Epic, Mahabharata. This is a four storied cave Temple, built over a huge rock jutting out of the ground. SolangValley The spectacular valley is an important tourist attraction and famously known as Snow Point. It is situated at 13 km northwest of Manali. The spot is full of scenic beauty with the view of the snow capped mountains and glaciers. Vashisht Hot Water Springs and Temple It is located at around 3 km from the town and spread across the Beas River. It is a small village with the facilities of modern bathhouses, Turkish style showers and a hot water piped provided into it for the tourists who visit here for medical benefits. Monasteries The spectacular place is also known for its beautiful Gompas or Buddhist monasteries. These are the most important places and should not be skipped in Manali Tours. Manikaran It is 85 km from Manali, lied in the Parvati Valley. This is a holy place of Hindus and Sikhs. Icy cold water and boiling hot water are co-existed here side by side. The springs of hot water are known for their healing properties. Gadhan Thekchoking Gompa It consists of the Tibetan area around the bottom of the Mall in the state. It is built by the Tibetan refugees. The Gompa is brightly colored and it has a Buddhist statue of medium size. It is listed by the names of the myrters, killed in 1987 to 1989 in occupation of Tibet. BeasKund It is sited at Rohtang Pass and is easily accessible. It is said that the Great sage, Vyas had performed ‘Tapa’ here during the time of Mahabharata. Rahala Waterfalls It falls at an altitude of 2501 mt. This beautiful fall is located about 16 km from Manali at the start of the climb to the Rohtang Pass. Kullu is around 40 km from Manali. It is also one of the famous destinations in Himachal Pradesh. Kullu Manali Tour Packages provide a great chance to explore the land of natural beauties. For more information about Kullu Manali Tour Packages please visit Himachal Tourism http://theblogfrog.com/886979/forum/134657/manali-is-an-ideal-destination-for-both-adventure-and-comfort.htmlFri, 11 Nov 2011 08:59:44 GMT Did you know that, according to the National Institute of Health (NIH), only 25 percent of people aged 65-74 say they engage in regular physical activity? Adults should exercise at any age, even if they have not exercised in the past. The benefits of physical activity accumulate over a lifetime so it is important that those who have exercised in their younger years keep that exercise momentum. You're never too old to increase your level of physical activity and exercise! Any exercise that gets the heart pumping may reduce the risk of dementia and slow the condition's progression once it starts, reports a Mayo Clinic study published in October 2011 in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. Are you overwhelmed by how to begin a fitness program? Do you feel that exercise may feel like a chore? Maintaining physical can be easy – and fun! Include your grandchildren in your new active lifestyle. Play catch or walk to the playground and push your grandkids on the swings. Have a pet? Taking your four-legged companion on a brisk walk is a fun way to increase your heart rate and improve circulation. Listen to your favorite song and dance for a few minutes! Be careful that your “dance floor” is clear of objects and that you have adequate room to “boogie.” As the leaves begin to fall, increase cardiovascular endurance by raking leaves. The raking motion will strengthen your arms and lifting the bags of leaves provides weight training. Instead of working out for 30-minutes, try breaking fitness activities into three 10-minute “mini workouts” throughout the day. Begin your new exercise program slowly with moderate exercise and work your way up to more vigorous and challenging activities. Regular exercise is beneficial for people of all ages. Exercise helps to improve muscle and joint flexibility and keeps your heart healthy. It also can improve sleep and helps to maintain a healthy weight.

What are your kids dressing up as? http://theblogfrog.com/886979/forum/132859/what-are-your-kids-dressing-up-as-for-halloween.htmlMon, 31 Oct 2011 16:03:42 GMT http://www.homecookedhealthy.com/?p=1723 http://theblogfrog.com/886979/forum/132418/quick,-easy-and-healthy-pimento-cheese.htmlFri, 28 Oct 2011 00:28:40 GMT What do you think? Are Chemicals Found in Every Day Products Safe for Your Family? Phthalates and bisphenol A (BPA), Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), Trichloroethylene (TCE) and toluene, and Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) found in the products listed above can lead to health related illnesses like, cancer, infertility, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and cataracts. I believe that further research should be done on these chemicals and products to find out if they are truly causing the increase in certain illnesses. Over the last three decades there has been an increase in children's brain cancer and leukemia by 40% in the US. I am skeptical as to whether or not the increase in childhood cancer is directly related to the products we use every single day. Breast cancer has also more than doubled in 30 years. The greatest increase in the US is among younger women who are not at high risk for the disease. Is this also related? I think more research needs to be done before we jump to conclusions. What do you think?

Recently, I read and reviewed the new book, Jacob T. Marley by R. William Bennett. This book discusses what happened to Jacob Marley.
