Have you ever bought something because of a life changing decision (like losing weight) or just to try it out because you had a coupon or maybe even just because? Well, that happened to me. After going to the EA Sports Active event in NYC, I decided to make some changes to my diet and also add a workout regimen to tone up for the Summer. So I went and bought Hellmann's "light" Mayonnaise, among other things like fruits and veggies. As soon as I opened up the jar, I could tell by the … [Read more...]

I'm on Facebook!! Isn't everyone on it anyway? At first I didn't think I would be hooked but I am. I'm truly ADDICTED!

So, don't forget to follow my blog and friend me! http://www.facebook.com/newyorkchica Thanks! … [Read more...]

Seems like a dream…

I couldn't believe the words my mom said to me last night while I was at her house. She said, "Michael Jackson died!" I said what!? What are you talking about? Farrah Fawcett is the one that died today. She said watch the news, they found him with no pulse and they couldn't revive him. As soon as she said that, I turned on the tv and went online. I saw on TMZ that indeed he did die. I was shocked! I could not believe it! I never knew the man but I grew up listening to his music and … [Read more...]
Happy “Late” Father’s Day
June 25, 2009 by 4 Comments
(This post was scheduled for Monday but for some reason, it was never posted, so here it is.....days later) This past Sunday was a very special day to all the Dad's out there that are active in their kid's life. I say "active" because there are many father's out there that don't even acknowledge that they have kids so the moms have to be both Mom and Dad. So to those moms, Happy Father's Day to you too! I hope it was a good day. I was one of the lucky ones. My Dad was a wonderful … [Read more...]

EA Sports Active Update – Day 19
June 19, 2009 by 3 Comments
I fell off the exercise wagon two weeks ago. I couldn't help it. And I was so ready for the 30 Day Challenge but I forgot about the "woman issues" that I go through. Back & abdominal pain, bloating, feeling nauseous, tired, etc...the list can go on and on. But I did hop back on the wagon and I'm continuing the challenge. So far, I've done 10 workouts and I feel great! My legs are a bit toned and I've lost some of my "love handles". Slowly but surely I can tell I'm losing the fat … [Read more...]

June 15, 2009 by 2 Comments
Most people think they need to start eating low fat or eat no fat at all in order to lose weight. That is true, to a point. They forget that our bodies need the "good" fats in order for our metabolism to work properly and to stay healthy and stay away from the "bad" fats such as saturated fats that clog up your arteries. The editors from Fitness Magazine say to have a small amount of fat in every meal. It digests slowly, so you'll feel satisfied for a longer period of time and you'll eat … [Read more...]
