Measurement Guide

I am a huge fan of the measurement tape as sometimes the scale doesn't exactly move but inches ALWAYS move. I measure myself at least every month to keep track of my progress and it is awesome.  However, it took me a long time to actually figure out how exactly to measure! So of course over on Tumblr, I found this amazing guide on tracking your measurements. I hope this is helpful to you all because it most certainly has been helpful to me!

Do you track your body measurements?

How Much Sugar Are You Really Drinking?

(via)

A few weeks ago, I found this picture floating around on our Tumblr dashboard and my jaw literally dropped.  I never once thought that our drinks could contain so much sugar! I mean milk? Seriously, it is time we take control of our liquids and see the truth behind those nutritional labels we so conveniently ignore. 

I've always thought energy drinks were the devil, so take that Red Bull! 

Even the Kool-Aid Jammers aren't safe for our kids but I could have told you that from the start, haha.

Soda by far is a perfect example of waste in this picture. Be very cautious of your intake opt for diet but please be sure to read the label too! I might decide to stay far away from soda in general.

This picture is horrifying man. Does anyone else feel as grossed out as I do?

I guess the moral of this story is to stick with water, it will never disappoint or fail you!

How do you feel about this picture?

Weight Watchers Points Plus Calculator Makeover

This cute, chic, ingonito product is my weight watchers calculator. I bet you wouldn't even know it just by looking at it.  A couple of months ago I bought the newly revamped Weight Watcher's Points Plus 2012 Calculator and found that there were different skins being offered to transform it into something fun and unnoticeable.


Skin It is the company that carries the cool neat stickers.  At my WW center these skins were priced at $1.95.  However, if you want one that is more specific to you, you can log on to Skinit.com and customize your design there for $14.99!

I remember before getting this skin I would feel totally awkward whipping out my calculator in public because of the doofy WW logo on the front of it. (Unfortunately I did not get a chance to take a photo of it before the skin makeover) Now people are drawn to the calculator always wondering if its a mirror. I get so many compliments and after I explain what it is everyone is shocked. I love that it makes getting healthy kind of stylish!

Starbucks Coffee Guide

Now that the weather is hot and warm, the first thing on our minds is refreshing drinks! I know that there are some of us out there in the world who simply could not dream going a day without a fresh cup of Joe! Starbucks is pretty high up on some folks daily necessities list. If this applies to you then be in for a treat.

Before I started my journey, I would try any and everything on Starbuck's menu without a care.

However, now that I am a lot more health conscious I've found that some of my prior choices weren't exactly healthy. This is not to say that Starbucks is off limits because its not! 

There are some great low calorie options out there and I just had to share them with you! You can still get your Starbucks fix and be on track ladies, yes there is a Starbucks god taking care of us out there.

Remember these calories are based on the Tall size drink (a.k.a the small cup)

My Go-To low calories Starbucks drinks that are not listed above are:

• Tazo Shaken Iced Passion Tea (sweetened): 80 calories for a Grande (medium size) it tastes amazing and is only 2 points plus values! 
• Light Mocha Frappuccino 110 Calories for a Tall it hits that chocolate fix and is 3 points plus values!

Do you know any other low calorie Starbucks drinks?

I am so in love with those sneakers! I think the color is dope and the quality looks amazing. However, I can't keep  on buying sneakers all the time so for now I'll lust after them a little. Now that the weather is getting nice, I want to take my workout routine outdoors. Normally, I wouldn't mind much about being matchy matchy while in the gym but going outside is another thing. I can't look a hot mess, haha. I've been thinking of ways to color coordinate for some outdoor walks and jump roping.

Do you match your fitness attire while working out outdoors?
