I hope everyone has been doing well. My four bff's from home and I started a Biggest Loser-like diet and fitness plan. Well, it's more like we are all trying to achieve our weight-loss, diet or health goals and will be emailing each other to check in. We will be posting recipes and keeping each other motivated to go to the gym. I think it will be a great support system!One of my friends has already lost 5lbs since before Christmas. Pretty awesome! My goals are to keep my hydration up (seems to always be less in the winter), stop mindless snacking, tone up my legs and arms and lose a few lbs as well.
I am looking forward to checking in and keeping each other motivated in these chilly months!
- Upping hydration up by adding a lemon slices and mint leaves to my water
- Eating a bigger lunch so I don't want to snack so much before going to hot yoga in the evening
These may help-my sister encouraged the search for energy balls

Have been reading Jackie Warner-This is Why Your Fat book to help tone and lose just a few (5)lbs. Here is a great tip from her:
Jackie’s Get-Fit Tip: You should focus on the primary muscles (big muscles) like the chest, back, quads, hamstrings and glutes. Bodybuilders call these muscles the fat burners because they burn much more fat than smaller muscles like the calves, arms and shoulders. Try push-ups for your chest, assisted pull-ups or pull-downs for your back, leg extensions for your quads, lying-down hamstring curls for hamstrings and weighted squats for your glutes.
I have been thinking about signing up for a race to keep my running up in the cold(er) months. There is a Half Marathon in Charlotte at the end of March I may aim for. We shall see ;) I will keep you updated on my progress and curbing my 'need' to snack.
What are some of your New Year's Resolutions? What are some of your fav snack recipes?
