I Finished My FIRST 90 Day Body by Vi Challenge!
Being a work at home mom who hates to exercise (and it’s too cold to ride my bike) makes it tough to lose weight. I love cooking healthy food, but still kept gaining. Just over 90 days ago I started the Body by Vi Challenge. I decided to give it a try and see how it went. Well it went CRAZY!! I started drinking 2 shakes a day ~ and eating a healthy dinner with my family and low and behold the inches just started melting off (without exercise!). Take a look at my results!! (click the picture to make it bigger) I lost 10.75 inches over the last 90 days. Went from a size 16 to a size 10! Yeah, I couldn’t even believe that one! Thank heaven my lovely family got me gift cards for Christmas. I’ve had a blast shopping for new clothes (which is...
Sometimes Just Do It Doesn’t Work
It’s interesting. I just finished reading an article about kids and food.The mom who wrote the article has a kiddo who won’t eat veggies. She had all these thoughts before she became a parent, no dino shaped nuggets, not being a short order cook etc, and now while in the midst of the journey finds she has had to change some of her expectations and actions… But that’s not what this post is about… As I’m sitting here reading this post I’m thinking to myself, just make him eat it. Then I started to laugh at myself. I have a spirited kindergartner… who is an EXCELLENT eater (thank heaven). I don’t struggle to get her to eat veggies, in fact, I think she’d be a vegetarian if I’d let her. So no, I...
What Spaces Are You Standing Between
A little introduction to this piece of the blog… this year, as you may or may not know, I’ve decided to make connection a BIG piece of my life puzzle. Connection with you, the readers of my blog, as well as the members of my community, but also connection with myself. As usually happens, once I made this decision, resources started appearing that would help me to really open myself up, to connect with you, and me. A Year With Myself is one such resource. It’s a year long project where you’re provided with a weekly prompt… a little something to read, dig into, think about, and ultimately write about. The funny thing is, when I decided to participate in AYWM, I initially thought the “perfect” place to write these, most...
Making Lefse
It’s a Lee family tradition ~ or it has been in the past and my sister in law Anita is bringing it back ~ to make Lefse during the holidays. This year the girls were old enough to help… Hanna LOVES to cook, and she was eager to get in on the action. If you’re not familiar with Lefse, it’s a traditionally Norwegian dish made from Riced potatoes. Here’s a...
Tips to Make the Facebook Timeline Work for You
As you may have noticed the facebook Timeline is real now… not one of those things you can start doing in “advance” but real and true it’s now on Facebook, and soon, it will be the default instead of an option. It took me a long time to warm up to Facebook, and I hear a lot of complaining about the new timeline feature, and I have to tell you… I LOVE IT!! So here’s some tips I have to help you get your timeline working for you. The cover image… That’s the big image right at the top of your page. Use it to express yourself… who you are, what you’re about, what you believe. It’s your “first impression”, and it makes a HUGE difference how people will perceive you. To add your cover image...
