Mommy wants her Body Back workout series.

I did not finish the Slim in 6. The final phase was too intense for me and I was dealing with a neck injury. I am currently going to a chiropractor 2 times a week to help with my degenerative disc disease. He has given me the OK to begin exercising again while under his watchful eye. So first thing after he gave me the OK I went to my family doctor and got the OK from him as well with the caution to start with low impact and only 3 days a week to begin with. One late night I saw an infomercial for this exercise program and went ahead and ordered it, but I didn't use it until today. I will begin. It is low impact has different levels of intensity and mommy friendly. The part that got me was that it helps strengthen the back. Moms tend to carry children, heavy groceries and laundry baskets among other things. On my off days I will still do 20 minutes of walking on the treadmill.
my starting weight surprisingly is where I left off with Slim in 6, 181lbs. Although I haven't worked out I did try to maintain a healthy diet. Anyways enough blabbing and lets get started.



this are my before pictures to help me stay accountable. (This is more for my own motivation).

yeah this is going to do just fine. Have a great rest of the week and I'll see you back next Thursday. ( I don't like to start on Mondays).

Almost that Time of the Year! When the yarn Comes out...

Image
    I have been waiting all summer for the right time to start playing with my yarn. Last fall/winter and part of the spring I was a pretty busy bee on my Ultimate Sweater Machine. If you don't know what it is , it is a home hobby knitting machine. It is easy to assemble and does not need electricity, you put in the muscle. I make some great beanies on it. I can honestly say I have mastered the striped beanie pattern in the book and was comfortable enough to make my own alterations to the pattern. Here are some of the things I was able to do on this machine. These are just a few of what I did on the machine. If you would like a tutorial on how I make them please let me know in the comments. Thanks again and have a great evening. Sandy

Product Review: Nuwave Precision Induction Cooktop 2

Image
      The other day while shopping for school supplies I came across this handy gadget on clearance for $20 bucks!! It normally sells for about $99 in store. With it comes a pan, cookbook and great instruction manual. No learning curve really, it was pretty straight forward coming out of the box. So far I have made chips, fried cheese sticks and pancakes this morning. The recipe for the pancakes was good but I think I can tweak it a bit and make it better. Because it works when the magnetic surface comes in contact with the steel pan the surface does not heat up until the pan is placed on it. If you pans are steel you can use them on the cooktop. It has pre-set temp buttons on the front and keeps the temperature consistent. You can also adjust the temperature yourself in increments of 5 degrees. For example it recommend a temperature of 375 degrees. However, feeling that it maybe too hot I turned the temperature down to 360 and the pancakes were a perfect golden brown. I love the pr

Ingredients Ragu home-style alfredo sauce 2 teaspoons of finely chopped garlic olive oil 1 tablespoon butter any size shrimp 1lb peeled ready to eat linguini pasta 1/2 cup grape tomatoes halved 1 bunch baby spinach ( add more if you like) pepper to taste. 1. cook pasta according to directions and serving you will need.

Now add your tomatoes and spinach. cook until wilted. 3. add your jar of alfredo sauce and stir until the butter and olive oil blend in. 4. as it warms through add pepper to taste. 5. on
