My New Favorite Tools!!!

Hey everyone!!!

It's almost the weekend, you have almost survived another week! How did you do? Did you accomplish any of your fitness goals? Did you make a healthy choice at lunch? One good choice can propell you to success by motivating you and reassuring you that you can make another good choice the next time, and the next, and the next!! i hope you have your healthy snowball rolling!

This week i am happy to say that even though it was hard at some moments, i have eaten really healthy, and im feeling so energized and great! Since monday i have lost 5 pounds. I didnt really expect it to happen so fast, but hey, who's complaining. i didnt starve myself, in fact i ate MORE!

Now i'm going to share some cool discoveries with you guys, they are helping me, maybe they can help you!

MyFitnessPal: App

 

 

This is the IDEAL app for keeping yourself accountable. It also takes away all the guess work about how many calories youve taken in, and how much you have left. You can also log all of your exercises in. Over time if you are dedicated to using the app it will show you your progress! I'm really looking forward to using it along with my gym membership. I cant wait to see all my results.  

 

 

Fitness Magazine:

 

 

 

So far fitness magazine has been a key element to keeping me motivated! Unlike other magazines it shows REAL women working on their fitness, sharing tips, and recipes. We all know i love a good recipe. This magazine is so positive and inspiring. It includes great workouts, question and answer columns, and really interesting articles that can help all kinds of people trying to get fit. Plus it also has the fun fashiony articles that regular womens magazines have. This is pretty much the only magazine i buy now!!

 

 

 

Bai Antioxidant Superfood Infusions:

 

 

All i can say is WOW!!! i actually found this drink at South Butte Market in Sutter. Who would have known?? This is now my new favorite drink over Diet Pepsi, Coffee or even my beloved white monster energy drinks! The Limu Lemon Bai flavor is so refreshing and tastes like homemade lemonade! i was shocked at how good it tasted especially since it only has 5 Calories, 1 gram of sugar, and 0 carbs! Its paleo too!! so YAY for that! Alot of stores are carrying this drink now, and South Butte Market carries them for 2 for $3. Oh and the best part is that it has caffiene in it!! it totally gave me the jolt i needed. I "discovered" this drink at about 7pm last night, and you can bet your sweet booty that i drank both bottles! BAD MISTAKE!!! this is a great drink for the morning, to get you through mid day, or even before a workout. DO NOT drink this close to bed time, my wired self was up until two in the morning. I didnt feel jittery or cracked out, hahaha. I just felt like i could take on the world!! I give these drinks a 10 out of 10!

 

 

Frozen Banana Slices:

 

 

 

I think i couldnt be a successful dieter (i hate that word) if i didnt start making these. I simply peel and slice the banana in meduim sized coins and put them in the freezer, either on a cookie sheet or in a ziplock bag. Freeze over night and enjoy the next day. They taste just like Ice Cream!!! The hardest time for me to be good with my healthy choices is at night time when my sweet tooth starts teasing me into submission. I usually dont care for the texture of bananas but i LOVE the flavor. So once i tried these frozen beauties i was hooked. The texture is ice creamy dreamy! i have had these for the past two nights and my cravings were totally satisfied. Cravings-0, Rebecca-1. 







Hopefully these little goodies ive written about will help you!
I have lots of good ideas for future blog posts, and im also going to be creating a Practically Pookie Facebook page that you can add and give me some suggestions on things youd like to hear more about or have me research for you!

Lets make good, healthy choices together this weekend!!! It's never too late to get your fitness snowball rolling!!!

Love,
Pookie
