Gaiam- it’s yoga-riffic!

Ah, we all know I love yoga. There is nothing that compares! I love to do yoga right before bedtime, so I am relaxed and to get all my tension out. I love my weekly yoga class, because I know I won’t be interrupted!
My very first mat was from Gaiam. You can say it hold a special place in my heart, LOL. Kind of like a first love. I definitely think of Gaiam when I think of yoga.

Eat Smart Scale- Contest! (and a great company!)


I know I am supposed to start out by talking about the scale and it’s merits- but I have to tell you something first- I LOVE THIS SCALE! Super easy to use, and fast, fast, FAST!!! I got my children’s weight very easily and quickly, and there was no need to do that “tap first” thing. It was so great- and I love that it is helping me measure my weight loss! I’m really trying hard, LOL.
You know how kids wiggle on the scale? Who cares? On this one- it’s almost instant! I love that it also gives you ounces- every little bit counts, haha. On the aesthetic note- it’s also really attractive.
I know, some of you are thinking “a scale is a scale, right”? Wrong! I had another scale- no comparison! It was never accurate, just “close”. And not anywhere near as nice-looking, either.

OK! I’ll give you the actual description now, LOL.

Price: $28.95
Dimensions: 12″ x 13″ x 1″
Colors: Silver / Black

Available on Amazon (Silver) Available on Amazon (Black)

Cool, yes?
It also came with a tape measure- all the better to measure your shrinking waist with, my dear! 🙂
Definitely use the scale on a hard floor- not on a carpet- because it is not accurate on a carpet- although the number it will give you is VERY flattering, hahaha.

Have Ever You Had Trouble Keeping Your New Year’s Resolutions?

Do you try and try to keep all of your New Years goals each year, but it never seems to work?
For New Years Resolution success this year, try these three simple tips on goal setting:

1. Make your goals specific.
Vague goals make it easier for you to put them off or ‘start tomorrow’.
Instead of: ‘I would like to lose’, try:

2. Make your goals attainable.
If your goals are too lofty, you probably won’t reach them.
If your goal is to run a marathon, but you’ve never ran a day in your life, start with something attainable, like a 5k run.
Once completed, you can move [Read more…]
