I've heard of the lights, but you pretty much have to stay put in one spot for a while to get any benefit from it. Maybe over my computer desk? That would help for about 2 hrs a day!!

I know!! A Zoo Med light!!! Something has to work. If you can find out the maker of the light please!!

I found a website that sells sun lamps and such: http://www.lighttherapyproducts.com/

i am so freakin' proud of myself i have to share this. on january 10th i joined a fitness challenge at my local fitness centre. the challenge is to complete 36, 54 or 72 visits within 12 weeks.

i completed the 36 visits already and today i'm completing 54 visits. (and that's with me being sick for 3 weeks and not being able to get to the gym during that time)... the fitness challenge ends in three days!

i'm so pleased. i've never stayed with a work out program like this. i'm doing it. i'm lifting weights, doing cardio and added in yoga three times a week as well.

my 'scale' weight isn't going down - but my 'size' weight is reducing! my strength is increasing and my stamina is way higher now.

and... the added bonus. so many people at the gym are now consuming green smoothies daily and adding more raw into their diets.

on monday i'm starting a 30 day green smoothie feast. nothing but green smoothies for 30 days. lots of fibre, lots of health... i am so excited about beginning this!

oh and i am, of course, buying another 3 month fitness pass!!! i love my new routine. answering emails in the morning, drink a green smoothie, then off to the gym... back home to homeschool, work on the magazine or run errands. sometimes i even toss in a little housecleaning LOL

anyway, i know this is long-winded but i'm so excited... i can't get my fingers to sit still!!!

Not a bad idea. Cause those skinny people would like to compete as well. You should judge by bodyfat percentage. It's more accurate than weight or that damn BMI (Body Mass Index) which would say that a 300lb bodybuilder is morbidly obese. I was on the ABs Diet for about a month and lost 20lbs. All while eating 6 meals a day and about 1500-2000 calories a day. I got injured at work and was on light duty for about a month and actually, to my surprise, only gained 10lbs of it back. I need to get back into it, though. I'd strongly recommend looking into that method. My girlfriend was on a "diet" of 500-1000 calories a day and didn't listen to my warnings about her health (she's an RN and I'm a Medic). Well, she finally started listening to me when the doctor said her white bloodcell count was low and she was about to go into kidney failure.

You can get The Abs Diet book at any bookstore for about $6. It's well worth it and has loads of information for a measly six bucks.

Congrats Aleesha! What an achievement to be proud of.

I'm going to have to try and check my body fat, since I STILL haven't lost any weight. (even after working my butt off at the gym 1.5 hours five days a week - and that's alternating cardio, weights, and yoga/pilates)

Could you should post your recipe for those green smoothies. I would like to try working those into my diet as well.

well the one I recommend for beginners is: (and this is my own personal favourite)

A nice big handful of baby organic spinach (greens are healthier for you BEFORE they flower)
about 2-3" of filtered water.
Blend.
Now add 3 organic bananas.
Blend.
Next add some frozen blueberries. 1 cup is a good amount.
Blend.

Drink!!!


Super healthy, super yummy and a great way to start your day!

That sounds delicious!
Would it still work if I used frozen spinach?
