Time For A Question

I'm reading a couple of books that are keeping my brain busy. The latest book from Dr. Daniel Amen is really interesting. Good insight and very valuable information. And then there's Tina Fey.

Thanks for playing at the Virtual Girls Night Out! See you next Friday! (Leave a comment, with your blog link, so we know you stopped by. We'll visit your blog and say "Happy VGNO!")

K. was going to sport the Argyle and Alligator shirt look. W. was going for 'All Monogram

I've been slightly obsessed with staying on my exercise track (on week 8 now :->) and hope to get rid of this jiggly belly that has become wa-a-a-ay too comfortable on my body. The older you get the harder it is to lose weight. What I would say to my 40 year old self - 'See that pouch starting? Do your crunches and planks now! 7 years from now it's going to get ugly !' I've found that spices cumin, cayenne pepper, red pepper flakes and turmeric are noted to increase metabolism. ( Yes please !) After a good workout coconut water is more beneficial in regulating your electrolytes, and lower in calories, than sports drinks.

And my most surprising discovery - eating avocados help burn belly fat! I&#
