Day 5...fabulous

Wow...one week and it has flown by.  I really am enjoying this time off and getting really involved in so many things.  I love my To Do Lists! 

Need to go to Target and get my medications filled (90 day supplies...yay)
Pick up little one (early release) at 12:15
Pick up my paycheck at work (even if it will be tiny)
Drop off little man at grandparents
Go to Square Foot Gardening Class at the Food Bank

My To Do List continues to grow...

Today is Day 4 of my new life as a SAHM (Stay At Home Mom for those who aren't sure what that stands for).  I will be doing my 2nd day of volunteering at my son's school.  I am excited again since I know what to expect today.  I will make sure that I have my protein shake w/Click...as well as my bottled water, vitamins and homemade sugar-free vanilla iced coffee. :o)

Looked into my health insurance coverage and a friend from Twitter told me that according to Texas Senate Bill 51, I am covered till the end of the month.  YAY!  So, I will be using my insurance this afternoon when I go see my PCP.  I like to get 90 day supplies of my medications all of the time...just easier for me. :o)

Will post about how my 2nd day went later!

Foods That Fight Fat

Couldn't we all use some more tricks to help us combat fat? Believe it or not, there are certain foods that if you eat more of can help you lose weight and stay slim. Below are examples of a few that help you to do just that.

Cottage Cheese: This has whey protein, which releases hormones that tell your brain when you have had enough to eat. Non-fat cottage cheese with pineapple tidbits or strawberries is actually my favorite filling, grab and go breakfast.

Egg Whites: The amino acids in egg whites help build lean muscle that in turn helps to rev up metabolism. Start having an omelet with veggies and low-fat cheese for breakfast or dinner.

Almonds:   These are high in alpha-linolenic acid. A study in the International Journal of Obesity found that alpha-linolenic acid speeds up metabolism. Add a handful to your salads or eat as an afternoon snack.

Low-Fat String Cheese: Calcium-rich foods reduce fat-producing enzymes and increase fat breakdown. At only around 80 calories per stick, you get calcium and appetite suppressing protein.

Edamame: This is an excellent source of protein and filling fiber, both of which will help you to eat less and lose weight. Buy them in the pod and shell them for a snack or add it to a salad.

Mustard: The spice that gives mustard its yellow color is called turmeric. A Study in the journal of Endocrinology found that turmeric may slow the growth of fat tissues. Lesson of the day here is use mustard not mayo!

Cinnamon: It is believed that using cinnamon daily (about ¼ teaspoon) on your food will prevent a post meal insulin spike. The spike in insulin that normally occurs after you eat signals the body to store fat rather than burn it.

Herbal Tea: Tea is a wonderful substitute when you are craving something sugary and hot tea can soothe stress, which will help prevent overeating. I love to put cinnamon in a vanilla tea I use and get double the weight loss whammy!

Hummus: This is a good source of protein as well as healthy fat, both of which increase satiety and prevent you from overeating or getting hungry quickly. I love to eat this with raw veggies; a great alternative to the usual empty calorie chips and dip.

Energy Bars: Energy bars are a great substitute when you are craving a candy bar type treat. They will provide you with half the calories and fat of a candy bar, plus you will get filling, appetite suppressing, and metabolism boosting protein. My favorites are the Healthwise protein bars we have here at the office because they come in a large variety of flavors and they are really delicious!

These are just a few ideas to help you start winning the battle of the bulge. Please let me know if I can help you in any other way.

First Post!

Well, today is Day 3 of my new life as a SAHM.  I cannot tell you how much I am enjoying it.  I ended up leaving a job that I loved to do new things and have time to spend with my 4-year-old son. 

I have so many goals this year.  

• Get a better paying job.  Well, that didn't happen.
• Work on my Masters.  Currently, I hope to become a graduate student at Texas A&M San Antonio and will probably work on an MBA.
• Have another baby.  I will be one year post-op from my Gastric Bypass Surgery on March 23, 2010.  After that, we plan to try. :o)

Those are just a few goals I have on the front burner.  I am sure that I will eventually get a new job or hopefully, start my own business.  I will be 40 in April and I figured it was time to take a risk and live life to the fullest and do what makes me happy.

Looking forward to keeping this new blog!
