Tip #7--Empty Calories



Howdy peeps!! Man, we are winding down on this journey of ours!

After today's tip...we only have two left! Yikes! Have you checked out Keely's fitness tip today?

Moving on...

Soda (that just feels so wrong...it's "pop" dudes!! And "hotdish", not casserole...but that's not the point...), chips, cookies, donuts, junk food...it's all just empty calories...those pesky little things that pile on the calories, but leave you totally empty.


Empty of any and all nutrition, vitamins, nutrients...any "good stuff"...if ya know what I mean!

For the next week, let's challenge ourselves to avoid those "empty calorie" foods...focusing on what is good and healthy for our bods!! Veggies, fruits, water, lean meats...the "good stuff"!!

And, don't forget to check out the Portion Plate giveaway I've got goin' on over here!!

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!
