Calorie counting and Working out

 When you are on a calorie deflection diet, it takes more than just cutting back foods. It is actually counting calories and making sure you are reaching the calorie goal everyday. 

You are going to have to measure what you are eating to know how to log it and making sure that it is not going over. Fruits contain a lot of sugar and not as healthy as they say it is let me be frank. 

 I personally use mynet diary ( Use my code: PRVEYV ) to help me throughout the day. It allows me to log my snacks, my breakfast, lunch, dinner along with my exercise, my steps and water. I can also log my weight and there are also recipes that I can use when I run out of ideas to cook and make. 

It also takes being active. Something that gets your heart pumping but not something that gets your legs or body burning. You need to be active but not as active to hurt yourself. So something like mall walker or walking anything for about 15-30 minutes a day. 

I just got a vibration plate, a weighted hula hoop and a stepper to help me with being active and working out. I also got a jump rope, a peddler and I have an app I have found called  Lazy workout and Just fit that I can do from my bed and or couch.

Just fit gives you a workout, one that you can feel and I love it. It has you lined up for daily and you will work pretty much every part of your body just from your bed alone. It is worth checking out and is now my go to. It will get your heart pumping and all it takes is just 7 minutes to do. 

 However I cannot put to much on me because I still am not healed from surgery and so I have to take it slow but even doing a little bit can actually help out a lot. 

Being disciplined means saying no to a lot of things. It means sticking to your diet and goals no matter what is going on around you because at the end of the day, it is going to be you and disappointments trying to reach you're goal so once you set a goal and put your mind to it, you will eventually reach it.

Savoritz Sourdough pita pizza crackers

Let me just say I went to Aldi's looking for their  L'oven Fresh Parmesan Romano Garlic Bread since I am having ziti and salmon and a salad on Good Friday I wanted the bread to go with it but so many others thought of the same thing and they sold out of the bread so I have to go back but that's not the point. 

The point is have you ever walked around a store with your stomach hungry and looking for something to snack on?

 Yeah that was me yesterday and I seen some pizza crackers and I was like oh I want these.

 They are only 130 calories and I can eat 10 and it's perfect so I got them. I got home, brought my groceries in and went to my desk to do some work. I felt my stomach get that growl and I knew I wanted a snack. I pulled them bad boys out and I went to town on them. They were so good. They tasted like pizza and they were seasoned just enough for you to have dust on your fingers like a Doritos. 

These crackers are worth it and I should of got two boxes. I know now and I hope they have some for me when I go back for that garlic bread cause that garlic bread is good too. 

Stepper

 This stepper that I have, I got on it thinking it was going to be easy however, this thing puts my legs to work. I can feel it toning my legs and I love that. I have noticed that even if I do 10 minutes a day it helps out a lot. 

I also notice that I can walk a little further without my back hurting or running out of breath. This stepper allows you to change the resistance and it keeps up with your time and calories and how many steps you have taken. 

It also comes with resistance bands that you can attach to the sides to give your arms a work out. I honestly do not use them though. I curle a 5lbs weight and or use the hand resistant bands.

Weighted Hula Hoop

 Let me just say I bought myself a weighted hula hoop. The one I got was 60.6in/154cm. ( I weigh about 229 if you need an idea.) 

However when I first started to use it, I realized it was to big and had to take three of the links off so I can fit it. 

Something they do not tell you when you puchase one is you have to put it together. Not only that you have to add rice or sand or gravel to a bag that is sent and you have to put the weighted ball together. 

I actually like this thing because it allows you to work your whole body and core trying to keep the ball up. 

However it can be a challenge trying to get it to go.

Training a pet?

 Sometimes training a pet can be hard expecisally if they are wild and do not handle training properly. This shock collar is so much more than a shock collar. It also can vibrate, and have beep mode so you don't have to use the shock mode if you do not want to. 

There are 198 different levels so you can adjust it to the way you feel your dog will need. This collar fits small dogs that weighs 5-15lbs and medium dogs. It is ultralight so your pet won't really notice a difference in it.

It is a good collar that is also waterproof in which is great because it won't short out.

Where Light, Wind, and Water Become Music

Bells, suncatchers, windchimes, and rain drums are some of my favorite things. The suncatcher I have catches the light so beautifully — when the sun hits it, the whole room glows. The one in the photo is the exact one I own, and it’s stunning in the sunlight.

 The only downside is the chain it hangs from is a little weak, so you’ll want to use something sturdier to hang it up.

The windchimes sound gorgeous when the breeze moves through them, even during storms. I love windchimes because they’re soothing, and each one has its own unique voice.

Bells are also one of my things — there’s something comforting about their tone.

And then there’s the rain drum. I love the sound it makes when water hits each panel, like a soft, rhythmic heartbeat from nature itself.

All of these things are soothing to me in their own way.
