Miracle Soup
I made the decision that 2015 was going to be my year. One huge aspect was I want to get in the best shape of my life…. not for anyone else, but for myself. That being said my aunt turned me on to Miracle Soup. The soup is great for weight loss as it takes more calories to burn than it yields. While it’s not the “secret” to weight loss it did help me jump start year in a healthier direction.

Flag On The Play
Lack of sleepovers. Ummm, hello cuddling is key. He may be avoiding the sleepover to keep you at an arm’s length. Spending the night is an easy route to couplesville.
Never go out. Are you always stuck staying in at his house or your house? There’s probably a reason for it.
Makes suggestions as to how to improve your looks. Giving unsolicited advice in the looks area is a real sign someone wants to control you.
The instant boyfriend. A guy who’s moving too fast often has less than pleasant reasons for doing so.
He doesn’t want to introduce you to his friends. If it’s been around a month of seeing each other and he’s weird about you meeting his friends it could be cause for concern.
He talks down to you. If he’s mean, his jokes cut like a knife, he’s rude – say see you later. He’s not worth it and he’ll never change.
Girlfriend status refusal. You spend almost every night together, and you don’t see how he could have anyone else on the side
He’s always busy. If you can only get a hold of him when he wants you to, it’s probably a sign.
Burn Time
Last Wednesday I went and saw American Sniper (fantastic movie by the way) with a friend. While we were waiting in line for popcorn I overheard a girl saying that she didn’t want anything from the concession stand especially since a small popocorn with butter would take her 140 minutes on the elliptical machine…. WHAT! At that point I probably should of stepped out of line and passed up on the popcorn, but moderation is key… right? When I got home I looked up common “junk foods”, the calorie counts and how long it would take to work it off. Let me tell you it really put things in perspective for me.
Glazed doughnut (200 calories): 53 minutes of lunges (ouch)
1 slice of pepperoni pizza (260 calories): 272 consecutive burpees (yikes!)
1 M&M (3.4 calories): Walking the length of a football field
1 small theater popcorn and butter (630 calories): 135 minutes on the elliptical
1 medium size bagel + cream cheese (400 calories): 2 hours and 15 minutes of yoga
