Fiber +

People always think that skinny people have secrets, Which they don't... according to them. For someone that use to never pass up 115 lb, i never had secrets. Never worked out, never ate 6 meals a day or only 2. Ate whenever I wanted and could have snacks all day without every getting fat. So ever since I had my baby, Why is it still so hard to loose the extra fat?
Well, your metabolism changes. You need to get you're body working faster. eating 6 small meals a day. You can do this by eating every 3 hours and always try avoiding sugar, saltines and, carbs. Another great way to loose weight is by getting use to drinking only water daily. This will help get all that sodium out of you're body. My method, before starting any diet is going to be by drinking a gallon of water daily.
I was told by my mothers friend to try out this 7 day diet by Jose Fernandez, this includes 3 days of eating every 3 hours, day4-7 is a specific diet plan to loose 2 jean sizes. Sounds kinda not healthy but i decided to try it, by hour 22 i was too tired. I failed with a big bang, hot Cheetos with lime, Cupcake, hot pocket and, soda.
I really don't want to give up so i began my online search for my very own perfectly designed diet... Since its so hard to follow someone else's. I searched for "foods to speed up metabolism" which led me to coffee, green tea, chili peppers and some article of high fiber foods. My next search was, you guessed it, "High fiber foods". I went through a dozen websites too only find the foods with the most Fiber.
For Example:
Split peas cooked (1cup)-16.3
Lentils, cooked (1cup)- 15.6
Kidney Beans (1 cup)- 11.6
Black beans cooked (1cup)-15.0
Raspberries (1cup)- 8.0
avocado ( 1 medium)- 11.8
Apple with skin (1 medium) - 5.0
Pear (1 medium) 5.0
Broccoli (1 Cup)-4.5
Sweet Potato (1 medium)- 4.9
Kale Cooked - 7.2
Bran Cereal (1 cup)- 19.9
So whats the deal with all the fiber? Well, our bodies take longer to digest these foods, means you burn more calories, even though the food itself is already low on calories. Think of high fiber foods as a scrub to wash all you're intestines.
"Eating veggies daily will help me loose weight? I don't think that it will help "me" very much. I need more than that!"
Human body is very smart, It is always sending signals back and forth. When we don't have the vitamins it needs, Its obviously going to send a signal saying 'its hungry'. If you don't give it what it needs, our bodies will once again send us the signal to eating again, therefor causing you to gain more and more weight.

Paul McCartney 2011 Tour Might Play in Chicago's Wrigley Field

 It has been said that the former Beatle, Paul McCartney might play at Wrigley field and, for the record, he would of played last year if it wasn't for Wrigley denying him and letting Elton John play. If Paul is to play at Wrigley this 2011 tour, he is to play on a day the cubs are out of town, maybe June July or august.  Last appearance of Paul in
Chicago was 2005 but the last time he played with the band in Chicago was August 20, 1965.

We've waiting for so long, we've dreamed about it all, and followed through for so many years. Thank you for the memories but it's time to make more, for our new generation to experience the love through music you and other have shared before. I agree that Chicago needs a refreshment of love, if you understand. It won't be the same without the band but you'll feel the same mutual love and sunshine that is shared by music. I'm really excited to hear his new music but i would be eternally grateful and so happy if he played a few of the old band songs.

p.s. SING HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME WHEN YOU DO COME TO CHICAGO (Xochitl) pronounced (so-ch-il)

Sense of Style

My sense of style

I'm a girly girl. I love pink, gigantic bows, ruffles and, jewelry that sets of the "so cool!" kind of quotes. If I could, i would dress like i lived in the 80s all the time. If i had the money, or a little more time, i would dress the way i was meant to. The reasons why i picked these items...
The Pink trench with the big bow in the front really reminds me of a girl wearing roller skates in the 80s working at the dinner... this is what she would wear afterwards.. the dress reminds me of the 60s psychedelic trips- just the color water work. The wedge  is very modern and who doesn't wanna be 5 inches taller without looking trashy. The necklace is just a piece i can say "that's really different".

Chanel Pre-Fall 2011

Warm cozy queen sitting in her thrown with a blanket of jewels on her body while the rest work in the snow. apparently "royalty" is the look Chanel is going for fall 2011. Byzantine mosaic of the Empress Theodora.

The clothing/accessories were inspired by Coco Chanel's admiration for Byzantine stonework jewelry. Velvet and satin will be the most used material for this season. For clothing colors, Purple, navy blue, black and gold.

As for the makeup, a more 1920's couture look is copied. The eyeshadow is a metallic brown/ gold creamy shades such as these. Only 1500 pallets will be available for the Chanel Lumiere's Byzantine Palette. This almost "goth" look was created by Chanel's makeup director Peter Philips.

My opinions.. The clothing, very impressed with the material of the dresses. I love how there is a lot of jewels on the dress but its not overflowing or too much of it. The sandals were these princess almost Greek looking art. The cons for me would have to definitely be the suede red boots and quilted bags, for purses so expensive, I personally think the bags could have been more "polished".

Fact: 1lb = 3,500 Calories

Weight has been a huge issue for me in the last 9 months. Never been outside the range of 115lb. Gained 53lb in my pregnancy, lost 33lb and, have 20lb to still lose. Been reading up on how to lose weight the healthy way. I really wanted to take up Pilate's because I've heard that its a fast way to loose the weight but to my luck, it only slims your waist. Its great to get rid of those hard to get rid of love handles but i need more than that.

- exercise everyday at the gym and try to burn 500 calories

- Eat less then 500 calories a day

-Drink cold (body burns more calories to make that water warm) water and about 2 gallons a day.

-Even when you sleep you burn calories

-Eat 6 small meals per day. If you decide to skip a meal or two thinking you will lose weight, you wont because the body STOPS burning calories!

A healthy long term way to loose weight is losing 1-2lb per week. If you loose more weight than that per week will result in only TEMPORARY weight loss.

Mistakes while trying to loose weight is eating

fast food (McDonald's meals usually equal 1,250 calories)

processed foods

rice 1/2cup= 300 calories!

bread

tortillas
