Life Well Laughed

Breakfast held me over until about 2pm. For a split second I considered going out for lunch, but quickly realized that I could eat something a lot better from home. I’m glad I went home because I forgot about the two bags of croissants and Polinesian chicken salad in the refrigerator.

So that was lunch, and it was delicious. If you’re a fan of chicken salad, you can find the recipe here. I love chicken salad; top 20 favorite food item for sure. I estimated about 500-550 calories for the sandwich.

I recieved an email from the folks at Laughing Cow asking me if I’d mention their Life Well Laughed campaign and thought, why not? I knew I was going to the store this evening, so I decided to pick up a pack of their cheese wedges. Disclaimer: I was in no way compensated for this mention. I was hankering cheese and it sounded like a good cause.

The Life Well Laughed Project makes it easy for people to give back to their communities through delightful snacking. From April 1 through July 15, you can visit LifeWellLaughed.com, enter the UPC code found on the outside of the packaging of The Laughing Cow cheese wedges and/or Mini Babybel® cheese, and The Laughing Cow will make a $1 donation to support health and wellness programs. The Laughing Cow has committed a minimum donation of $250,000, but with enough people participating, the company hopes to realize a maximum donation of $500,000.

The Laughing Cow®’s mission is to make healthy living more delightful. Inspired by the First Lady’s Lets Move initiative, they’ve taken that one step further to create the Life Well Laughed Project, which seeks to motivate, educate and support communities across the nation to live healthier lifestyles for our kids.

I chose the queso fresco and chipotle cheese, a new one to me and it was pretty good. I enjoyed the creamy texture and smoky/spicy flavor. I’m already coming up with ideas for it. My snack was 100 calories- 35 for the cheese and and 65 for the rice and nut crackers.

I’m making an effort to drink lots of water today. I can’t seem to get enough.

Total calories so far today: 1,060-1,160

Going to do Insanity soon, today is pure cardio (one of the hardest sessions- hoping to burn 400-500 calories) and planning some steak stir-fry with peppers over rice and a salad for dinner.

What are you having for dinner?

Crack the Fat Loss Code – Start Losing Weight Today!

The human body is able to resist hunger and starvation by holding on to fat. This is the reason why it’s too difficult to lose the extra pounds no matter how hard you try. Nutrition specialist Wendy Chant has developed a lifestyle plan to Crack the Fat-Loss Code. The book was written to help you outsmart the natural cycles of the body when it comes to storing calories and burning fat. Crack the Fat-Loss Code sets itself apart from other weight loss program by focusing on speeding up your metabolism – this is done through “macro-patterning”. While the process sounds intimidating, what it actually does is to set up a routine in which you need to alternate your carbohydrate intake -carb-up, carb-down – to trick the body into believing that it doesn’t need to be so dependent on fat to resist starvation.
Crack the Fat Loss Code allows you to reprogram your body so that it will burn the fat and keep it at bay. Reprogramming involves changing your eating habits. But before you begin the program, you will appreciate the fact that the book will help you get a clear understanding of how your body works and how it responds to certain changes, specifically in the intake of certain kinds of food. With a better understanding, you will learn to appreciate the program because you see science at work and your body is the beneficiary. The first few chapters of the book will help you understand what carbohydrates, proteins, and fat are, and how the body is using them. This will give you the right mindset when starting the program. The effects of Crack the Fat Loss Code program can be seen in as early as eight weeks. It also has sample meal plans that will guide you on what types of food to eat and what food to avoid. This is not to say that you will not be able to enjoy your favorite food. You still can eat what you like once your body has been reprogrammed.
While the main goal is to lose the excess fat, the program also will help you realize that the food you are used to eating is the wrong type of food. This has a positive impact in your eating habits and you will develop the discipline to eat healthy food without craving for trashy food. One interesting explanation in the book is that most of us don’t wait for our blood sugar to level before pumping our body with sugar and carbohydrates. This is logical and yet we are al guilty of the deed. The book also tells about the danger of not eating or skipping meals only to give in to hunger pangs in the next days and be at the risk of overeating.
Crack the Fat Loss Code lets you have a better understanding of how the body stores and uses fuel. Knowing the process will help you outsmart your body. This can be the start of your journey to a healthier and leaner body.
