Um...okay. So, the last I checked...we were just starting this Hot and Healthy gig...are we really starting week 5?!?!?!?!? Yikes. Where does the time go? I mean, seriously ...where does it go? Okie dokie!! Let's get down to business!! So we said last week that we'd be upping the cardio time..so the new time will be 4hrs of exercise..you can spread that however you want throughout the week.. For instance you could do an hour each for only 4 days of exercise or you can do half hour one day..and a hour the next..It's up to you! As for the Pilates..we'd like for you to do all 4 of the exercise's..It'd be great if you did them all at one time..but if you want, you can do abs one day and legs the next. Pilates Hundred Pilates crisscross Pilates Legs Pilates Glutes and Thighs Starting Week 5...seeing any progress? Do you feel like you are "gettin' your groove on"? A nice routine? Are Keely's Pilates exercises kickin' your butt (i...

'Sup ladies?!! Anyone burn some major calories doin ' a little Black Friday shoppin ' yesterday? I didn't. I took a nap. Does sleeping burn calories? ' Cuz , if it does, I'm golden! Okie dokie , then...today's healthy tip goes hand in hand with the giveaway goin ' on over here !! Portion control, dudes!! That's what I'm talkin ' about. Didja know that your serving of meat should be the size of a deck of cards? (I did know this...but I seem to play with those gigantic cards for the elderly? You know...the ones the size of dinner plates? Yup...those.) Didja know that 1/2 of your plate should be fruits and veggies? With a 1/4 for meat and a 1/4 for grains? Um...wow. Nope, I didn't know that. I knew veggies and fruit were important and all, but 1/2 my plate? Man, I've been doin ' this all wrong! So, let's start thinking about those portion sizes!! Take a good close look at our plates and see if it meets the recommendat...

Today, my fellow Hot and Healthy mama's, ladies, women, girl s, (men?)...we are gonna talk about something that makes me...well...it makes me...h ow do I say this? Um...it makes uneasy. A little uncomfortable. And, well...it sorta makes me want to drink some dishsoap to emulsify the fat that is sure to be coursing through my vessels. (Note to you : I am not recommending that you drink dish soap...) Okay, so I'll admit... We eat fast food way more than we should. Probably, once a week, I find myself in the Mickey D's drive thru (and for ease, I'm gonna talk McDonald's...sorry McDonald's...I hope you'll forgive me!) ordering the standard: two 6 piece Mighty Kids meals with Coke, one 4 piece Happy Meal, and one adult sized (gosh, I don't even want to admit this...) #12. With an Iced ...
