Fitness Magazine -- Stand Outs!

Hey NeverEver's!

So I have signed up for Shape, Fitness and Self magazines...plus Cosmo, but that is my guilty secret ^_^.
Anyways, once they come in either in the mail or on my Nook, yes I LOVE Barnes and Noble!, I can't wait to read it and see what advise they have or what exactly they are writing about. So I thought...why not do a brief post about each monthly magazine. The things that stood out for me.

I want those abs to! 

Here is the Fitness Magazine -- Stand Outs!

• A recent study has found that it isn't always a good idea to just order from the appetizer menu instead of getting an entree. In fact after analyzing 30,923 menu items at 245 chain restaurants, appetizers had more calories, fats and saturated fats on average then entree's and even desserts! So make sure to read that description!
• Get more sleep gives you some extra energy in the morning so you can get to that early morning gym class! I add this here cause I really need to work on this one
•  Load up on whole foods! Foods like whole grains, nuts, beans and fish (blah) saturated fat shouldn't be an issue
• Beware of Health Halos! You know where in big bold print 'Low Fat' or 'No Saturated Fats' maybe full of sodium, sugar or refined flour! So read those labels and think about what you are eating.
• Kettlebells are better then dumbbells. Studies have shown that exercises who used kettlebells burned 400 calories in 20 minutes! ---Now I have to try these out! 
• It has been found that men exercise 2x more then women. We can't allow this to continue ladies!

So this is what I picked up from Fitness Magazine for the September Issue. There is a lot more information in it...plus some awesome arm exercises that I really want to try. So pick up an issue and tell me what Stood Out for you!

Daily Stats: Day 22 + 23

Hey NeverEver's!

Sorry about not being able to post yesterday my internet decided to circle the drain! But now it is up and running again and I can't tell you how happy I am!

So I had a wonderful dinner on Tuesday I walked the Ontario Mills, biggest mall here in California I believe, and got some new workout shoes! On Wednesday I was walking Wilshire trying to deal with the bank 0_o.

Here are my stats for Wednesday + My Dinner + My New Shoes!

No workout except for walking that big mall! 

Now cooking isn't my thing, but I am trying to get more into it. I can not just workout and except the pounds to come off if I do not handle the other half, which is eating. So here is what I was able to come up with for Tuesday!

White rice + no sauce meatballs!

Now I wasn't going to get these shoes...because the first store that I found these at they were BRIGHT PINK! I like BRIGHT socks...so I can't have bright shoes it would just clash. So we went walking the whole mall until we came to Finish Line and found them in black! Oh YA!

Aren't they pretty!?! No more tying my shoes!

So for Wednesday Stats it was a little hard to add up. Hubby, a good friend and I went to Korean BBQ. Very popular in LA plus very delicious. Anyways, its a little hard adding it up but I think I got it all ^_^

Those KBBQ really takes a hit on you

I wasn't able to really workout today. I was in dealing with a bank issue so I was literally inside ALL day. But I tried to walk around as much as I could.

So tomorrow has to be better for working out. But as I ate at a KBBQ and its unlimited food I am pretty happy with my calorie intake!

Hope you Hump Day was better then mine NeverEver's!

10 Tips to Eating Out and Still be Healthy

Hey NeverEver's

Today's post is all about being able to go out and not ruin your Healthy Living Plan! After eating out this weekend I felt that it was important to look up a few tips to eating out and not ruining your plan. Here are a few tips that I picked up;

1. Try to plan ahead. Know where you are going so you can look up the menu items online. This is important so you know exactly what you are ordering so you don't veer off course. 
2. The more color you have on your plate the healthier it is. 
3. If the portion you want is to big, then before taking a bite of it ask for a 'to go bag' and place half of your meal in there. That way you have a lunch for tomorrow and you don't over eat that night!
4. Try to look for these words 'Steamed', 'Boiled', 'Grilled'. And stay away from 'Fried' or 'Sauteed'!
5. Don't eat to fast. You want to take your time so you know when you are full! 
6. Want Protein? Try ordering these leaner cuts of beef, strip, tenderloin, or flank steak. 
7. Having dinner but don't want the heavy dinner entree's? Try having the Lunch Portions. 
8. Try to do some healthier swaps. Having Breakfast, try getting 'Egg Whites' or 'Wheat or Whole-Grained Toast'. Lunch? try to ask for 'Brown Rice'. 
9. Try and stay away from Soda's. Instead get some water, iced tea, or lemonade. However, even with those drinks watch the sugar intake. 
10. Be careful of what some restaurants are saying is 'Light' or 'Low Calorie'. Sometimes if its low calorie its high in carbs, sugar or sodium. So read those descriptions and if you don't know then ask!

Doesn't that look yummy!
