Some working out & a review!
Dec 14th, 2009 by Melinda
Hubby had to go out of town today on work so I decided to work out at home! I downloaded my new music and got to it- And by working out, I mean dancing, squats, jumping jacks, leg lifts, etc.
And afterwards, I did some stretching..
I actually haven’t stretched in quite a while- I need to do it more often
aaand some more!
Look at Roscoe- he looks so bored haha
I was a sweaty mess after I was done!
And here is what else I’ve been up to this week and some of last week (sometimes I get busy and it’s hard keeping up with everything!)
New Magazines & some Ghiradhelli chocolates (for the hubby)
Love Kristen Bell!
And I also said goodbye to my Juicer this week
I barely use it since I have a juicer already- I’m trying to simplify my life plus I made $203 on ebay!
I also made some organic almond milk- I soaked the almonds for about 15 hours, then blended & strained through a milk nut bag. Perfect for hot chocolate!
Organic orange slices- snack
I started reading this book- I already love it!
Had some hot chocolate w/my raw almond milk, raw cacao powder & raw agave
I got a sweet craving, so I thought I’d whip up a raw treat- that is almond pulp left over from my almond milk
I made Raw Cacao Truffles!
Had one of many salads!
And used some of this as my dressing mixed together w/avo & a tbsp. of hummus
I’ve been using this to put in my daily H20 intake- I just steep it in some hot water then add to my H20
On the left is a glass of Greens (spirulina, chorella, all kinds of goodies) & honestly it was gross- I had to chase it down with the lemon water and some fruit!
Do you notice anything different about me?
I’ve been using the new Waterpik that the company sent to me to review!
Honestly, I feel like my teeth are SO much whiter and cleaner and I love the interdental brush to clean in the tighter places- I feel like I’ve been to the Dentist without all of the pain (I really hate going to the Dentist eek!) I also love the 2 minute timer - it automatically shuts off after you’ve brushed your teeth for 2 minutes- which works great for me because I’m an obsessive brusher-At least that is what the dentists have told me
It also has a high speed and a low speed which is great- it took me a little while to get used to the high speed, but once I did, I loved it! Apparentally, the Waterpik has been clinically proven to be more effective in removing plaque than other sonic toothbrushes- that’s good to know
Unfortunately, I do have to make a dentist appointment soon to fill a cavity uggh- so I will see what they say about my teeth, especially after using the Waterpik for a couple of weeks.
What kind of toothbrush do you use and how do you like it?
I wanted to give a shout-out to Cory at Zestycook.com for so kindly helping me fix my images. A few readers had commented on how slow my images take to load and I definitely don’t want to lose any readers!
Hopefully, it should be all fixed now! So Cory, walked me through and helped me fix the problem- thanks Cory, you’re a lifesaver!
Well, me and the hubby are about to head out to do some Christmas Shopping- I can’t believe that Christmas is next week!!! So crazy, really! Hopefully, we will find some things- it’s already after 6 now, so it only leaves us with a few hours of shopping today- so I’m out! Hope you all have a fabulous night ![]()





















Nice workout! Sometimes I love working out at home. I love Kristin Bell, too! I’ve never read Women’s Health before - looks like good headlines! Nice new juicer - I heart new gadgets. Hope shopping goes well!
Dancing at home alone is the best stress relief ever!
The raw coco truffles look really good… that is a smart way of using the almond pulp.
I am waiting on an electric oral b toothbrush that my sister has promised. She is in dental school so she can buy them for very cheap
i used to have one of those..and LOVED IT! i dk where it is now tho? i need to find it! you look so adorable stretching!
I wanted to gulp your delicious looking hot cocoa right out of my computer screen.
I just bought an Oral-B Vitality Electric toothbrush, and it’s soooo much more effective than my old, cheap 3-per-pack toothbrushes. My teeth always feel so smooth and plaque-free after each use.
