This is were I try something new and tell you if it was nAsTy or delish!
Coconut Oil Salad dressing-
Say whaaaaa???
I think I have a brilliant idea, but I'm sure if you search it on Pinterest, it all ready exist, because everytime I think I thought of something new, the brilliance that is Pinterest has a 28 page blog on it, complete with video tutorial!!! My.Life.Story!!!!
Anywhooskie- I've been chowing down salads for lunch, like a horse. But, I don't overly love salad dressing....orrrrr....dry salad.
SD has a bazill calories, unless you buy FAT FREE, then you get aspartame added, so I feel SD is a lose lose.
until one day... my obsession with all things coconut, led me to the idea to melt a tablespoon of coconut oil over my salad.
Results: CO never disapoints :)
It added just enough moisture to totally satisfy my tastebuds!
Now, CO is high in calories. Good ones though. I would still say, 1 tbs. Mix it over your salad, to disperse the coconutty goodness! It was heaven of the trap!
The other thing I tried was from Pinterest ( sHocKeR!!!)
I don't know if it had a name, but you chop an apple into little squares,
melt about a spoon full of peanut butter, dump it over apples, then add about 10 - 15 chocolate chips.
This is so fiber-y...I had to poop, just from making it ;-)
It was great!
My kids saw it and had to have thier own!
I've gotten some ideas from you guys too, that I need to try! When I do, I'll post!!!
Thanks for reading!
Chow!
Literally.
Just on good stuff though!

100 Days in the Gym
Vacations are over and its time to get back to the grind!
A few months ago, I posted a video to my fb page of a severly overweight girl, who challenged herself to spend 100 Days in the gym. It was so inspirational!
For some reason, I can't find the video :( I wanted to post it here for ya'll to be inspired! Because, if she could do it, there is NO excuse for you.
I tried googeling it and looking on youtube, and found nothing, so if any one has it, please post in the comments!
Now, I know I won't make it into the gym 100 Days in a row, mainly because we have about 2 severe snowstorms a week, that are deadly to drive in. So, I'm issuing a challenge and here it is:
100 Days of Working Out-
Spend at least 20 minutes to an hour doing some kind of activity.
For those of you who need to start slow, a 20 minute walk is fine!
I am taking 2 classes, which is only filing up 4 of those days, so on the other days I'm going to walk/ do a dvd or go in to the gym and workout or swim.
Don't do something you're all ready doing.
If you all ready walk - either up your time 30 minutes or ADD something.
Housework doesn't count ;) well, it does, but not as your exercise!!!! You do this. All day.
Grab a friend to keep you accountable!
Grab a calendar or a note book and KEEP track of what you've done!
Make the time!
Set a goal. I hate setting goals. It intimidates me and I hate failing, but excuses are for people who really don't want it, that's why I'm doing 100 Days! I'll tell ya if I miss a day, but that is NOT my plan!
Take pictures every week.
You can do this!!! Who's in with me????!!!!!
This is a great way to start! And remember, just because you have a gym membership, doesn't make you thin.
Let's do this 100 Days like rockstars ;)
