I am always looking for new workouts, healthy eating tips and things of the like. I also know my body pretty well, so know my trouble areas (even if others try to make me feel good but saying there are none). 😉
My thighs and my triceps are my toughest areas to tone. There are different times when they are more in shape than others, but I have a hard time getting that “cut” look if you will. I finally found a pretty easy arm workout that may actually work. I am beginning to see small signs that it may actually give me the look I want. Sooo…I thought I would share. Enjoy!

I am also very interested in eating healthy, but often cave to the sugar monster. Sadly once I cave it is difficult to recover. Sugar is addictive to me…seriously. blah! I am a huge fan of cereal, though, but it needs to be treated as a dessert in my opinion. There is a ton of sugar packed in those boxes. I am also skeptical of protein cereals, because even those that claim to have a high protein content seem to have double the carbs. I used to shy away from Kashi thinking it was just the new fad brand, but I am a new fan of their 7 Whole Grains Puffed Rice Cereal…low cal, no sugar, no flour. Add a banana and some 30 calorie almond milk and you have a filling meal that is pretty healthy. 🙂 And the 30 calorie almond milk is a winner to me…add cinnamon or vanilla and you have your own non-additive, non-sugar, tasty cereal maker. I am also a fan of Special K Protein, because while the carbs are still higher than the grams of protein, they are the lowest that I have found.
That’s all for my random Thursday health and workout update.
