There is a lot of information and there are a lot of reviews available online for all sorts of things such as diet pill reviews.  Just about anything you would want to know about anything is somewhere online.   Being able to do searches online for topics of interest or concern is wonderful.  One of the main types of information I like being able to access is recipes.  I find there are several variations of recipes to choose from for the same dish.  And there are helpful reviews on those recipes, too.  The reviews are great!

Does a colon cleanse actually help people lose weight?  I have seen a lot of ads online, in magazines, etc., about how it does help by detoxifying the body.   As far as reading much about it, I haven’t and I guess I need to read some colon cleanse reviews to find out more information.

I do know that toxins build up in the body, toxins that are found in the environment and in the foods we eat.   Sugar and processed white flour are probably at the top of the list of foods.   Sugar is definitely not healthy for us in any form or way.  I once read that sugar acts like a glue in the body.  If you think about times when you’ve spilled a drink with sugar in it, it leaves the floor sticky and hard to clean up.  Just think of what it does in our body!  I really don’t like to think about that.   It makes me want to limit my intake of sugar, which I do.  I use a lot of Stevia, but there are some things that contain sugar and would not taste good without it.  The main thing I can think of is dark chocolate.  I can easily give up Cokes and sodas and drink only tea, green tea, and water.  That’s easy!  But giving up dark chocolate is another story.  So, I guess it would be a good thing to read more about colon cleansing.

I am such a “list” person with my daily “to do” lists.  And making out a grocery list is something I do weekly.  I always look at the grocery ads for products I use that are super bargains (“loss leaders”) at each store and add those items to my list.  There are certain staples that I put on my list when we start getting low on them such as Ezekiel Bread and Central Market’s Organic Frozen Corn.   I don’t buy diet pills, but I do order vitamins and supplements online which means a whole different list.  Having lists helps me stay organized, be more efficient (I still have plenty of room for improvement), and save money.

I’ve had a cold this past week that has developed into bronchitis.  One thing about having a cold is that sweets don’t taste as good to me.   Desserts just aren’t that appealing.  I don’t need a quick weight loss because I’ve lost one to two pounds according to the scales at the doctor’s office today.   As much as I dislike having a cold and especially bronchitis, I don’t mind being able to lose a couple of pounds effortlessly.

Have you tried Mrs. Smith’s Blackberry Cobbler?   It is absolutely delicious!  In fact, we had some for dessert tonight, topped with Dreyer’s Vanilla Yogurt Blends (slow churned and creamy).  I don’t need an alli diet pill because we just had moderate servings, and the yogurt is low-fat and low-calorie (plus it even has live active yogurt cultures in it).   The key is eating in moderation and not having seconds and thirds, no matter how tempting it might be!

I take several vitamins and supplements which really do help the way I feel and help my overall health.   I research supplements, though, and make sure I’m taking something that’s safe and also the right amount for me.  When taking any kind of supplement or pill, it’s good to research for side effects, for example diet pill side effects.  Sometimes the side effects are something most people would want to avoid.

I have been trying hard since the holidays to eat healthy and not have all the goodies that surrounded us during Christmas and New Year’s. However, I do allow myself treats and small servings of dessert from time to time. I don’t know what the best weight loss pills are since I just try to eat sensibly and healthy.  If you have a healthy recipe that you would like to share, email me.  (Go to “About” at the top of the home page to find my email address.)

Those of you who’ve had babies, do you notice how hard getting rid of belly fat can be? Some people don’t have that problem, but I think they’re in the minority.  I just resigned myself to the fact that I would always have some, and it’s a reminder of our two precious children.  As far as trying to slim down some, I try to go for longer walks more often and eat healthy.

I didn’t write down a list of New Year’s resolutions this year.  I just want to continue growing stronger in my faith walk with God and develop an even closer relationship with Him.  And I want to lose the pounds I gained during the holidays without having to buy phenphedrine.  I plan to do this by eating healthy and getting more exercise.  So there’s my short list of resolutions.

I’ve noticed that if I eat very much bread, it’s easy for me to gain weight.  In order to lose the weight, I don’t take top rated diet pills but just try to eat healthy, eat less bread, and go for walks.

We traveled during the holidays and would end up going through drive-throughs a lot and ordering some type of sandwich. Plus we had rolls at holiday meals and then left-over rolls to eat afterwards. So I know that’s part of the reason for my weight gain during the holidays.
