A Renewed 2012: Healthy Living and Eating

greenandcleanmom — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:55:16 +0000

One month into 2012 and I feel as though the New Year is just that – renewing. I’ve come close to meeting my weight loss and inch loss goal. I’m officially at a healthy BMI, I’ve lost 28 pounds and over 18 inches and I’m into my almost skinny jeans! I have 10 more pounds [...]

Strong 4 Life Campaign on Childhood Obesity: More Harm than Good

greenandcleanmom — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:07:48 +0000

My daughter’s birthday bash was this last weekend. I watched children of all different ages, sizes and shapes play together. Tall, short, chubby, curvy, stocky and muscular but not one child had the exact same body shape. They all consumed the ice cream and cake with joy and did not worry about their waist line [...]

Birthday Fruit Kabobs

greenandcleanmom — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 13:00:53 +0000

Today my daughter is 5 years old and she asked for fruit kabobs for her school snack. How blessed am I? Of course these colorful and delicious fruit snacks are topped with 2 slices of candied fruit with sugar sprinkles but it is her birthday after all. Who doesn’t deserve some sugar on their birthday? [...]

Win a 2 Week Inch Loss Kit

greenandcleanmom — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 13:00:13 +0000

I’m officially down 22 pounds. I can hardly believe it. The inches have just melted off and I’m convinced it’s partially because I’m using Cinch® to help me stay full and lose inches not muscle. I’ve written about my weight loss journey and struggle and believe me I get what it feels like to not [...]

My Heart Hurts

greenandcleanmom — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:00:09 +0000

I have been reminded, cancer is rampant. Young women like me with young children, careers and lives are suddenly frozen in their tracks with fear and anxiety about living another day and what the future holds. Women who probably weren’t feeling well but continued drudging through the daily juggle of multiple responsibilities and child rearing [...]

CrossFit Vs. Cookies and Cream Puffs

Haley — Sat, 31 Dec 2011 13:54:54 +0000

This is the first Holiday season in years that I have not gorged myself and packed on a few extra pumpkin pie pounds. I have been evaluating why that is, since the goodies are still available and my sweet tooth is screaming “eat more”. The reason is CrossFit! I joined our local CrossFit in July [...]

Inch Loss 11 Week Update

greenandcleanmom — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 22:06:02 +0000

When you wear stretchy pants and have only one pair of jeans that you fit into and baggy sweatshirts hide your extra inches – you’re in a bad spot. A health crisis or close to one and probably a wardrobe nightmare which just depresses you more so you eat more, why not? That was me [...]

Don’t Forget About Indoor Air Quality This Winter Season

Haley — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 13:00:29 +0000

This is the time of year that my daughter always gets sick and comes down with croup. This year isn’t any different but maybe next year will be. I contribute her illness to her allergies and the change in the weather. We are cooped up inside during this time of year because it’s typically cold [...]

Role Modeling Exercise and Fitness: Not by Choice

greenandcleanmom — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 13:00:19 +0000

I was working out and suddenly I had a crowd. It was a Saturday morning and the children were busy playing so I decided to sneak in a Journey Gym workout but of course my daughter had to watch, the dog took its place on the couch and my son wandered into the room. My [...]

Pizza Facts & Recycling Pizza Boxes

greenandcleanmom — Mon, 07 Nov 2011 14:55:11 +0000

Do you order pizza at least once a week? My family is guilty of this. It’s one night during the week that mama doesn’t have to cook and clean up is e-a-s-y. Pair the triangle slices with fresh veggies and cut up fruit and I’m feeling okay about myself – it’s one night of the [...]
