Hey Fellow Glenees, have we been doing it wrong??
The Correct Way to Weigh Yourself
Hey Fellow Glenees, have we been doing it wrong??
Check it out!!!
What are some ways you've found to sneak exercise into your regular day?
Kirsten: I have been trying to take the Boys for a walk in the morning before Meister goes down for his nap. This has a number of benefits. 1) We get out in the sunshine and feel the wind in our faces and the grass beneath our feet. 2) I get anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of walking in the morning. 3) The Boys get anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour of walking. 4) It gets Meister nice and tuckered out, so when we get back, he goes down for his nap just like that (well, usually). Also, when I put Meister down for his nap or down for bed, instead of just rocking him in the rocking chair in his room, I try to stand up and dance around with him for a while. He's 2 1/2, so this does get to be quite the workout.
Genny: During piano lessons (so about 3 or so hours a day) I have been trying to stand up more often. I figure standing and walking from left hand to right hand rather than just pointing from my comfy chair HAS to burn more calories, right?
Meg: With the babies the easiest way for me to get exercise is walking. They love to be outside so they stay happy and I get exercise. I also do a lot of baby lifting, does that count? I figure it's got to do something for me, as sore as my arms get some days. Now that the babies are getting more active, I try to play with them in ways that make us move, like turning on music and dancing around with them or bouncing with them on my exercise ball.

The Power of Blue
Of all the colors in the spectrum, blue is an appetite suppressant. Weight loss plans suggest putting your food on a blue plate. Even better than that, put a blue light in your refrigerator and watch your munchies disappear. Here's another tip: dye your food blue! Dramatic results can also be achieved by using a blue light bulb for your dining area.
Why is blue an appetite supressant?
Blue food is a rare occurrence in nature. There are no leafy blue vegetables (blue lettuce?), no blue meats (blueburger, well-done please), and aside from blueberries and a few blue-purple potatoes from remote spots on the globe, blue just doesn't exist in any significant quantity as a natural food color. Consequently, we don't have an automatic appetite response to blue.

Got to stay away from JJ's kettle corn. It is way too inviting and yummy. What inspired the name of this blog - Shady Glen?
That is not so bad!I ate a handful of Almond M and M's this morning, just before going down to exercise with the girls. They do a Dancing with the Stars exercise video. Wow am I clumsy! But, hey, your blog at least has motivated me to exercise! That says a lot. Yes. I call it EXERCISE rather than DANCING then no one expects me to look GRACEFUL!
