Oh my!!! And I thought all I had to be concern about was chemicals in the food I eat!!! Check this out>>> Dude, What’s in My Makeup?

STOP LETTING AMERICA TELL YOU HOW TO RUN YOUR LIFE!!

OK...this is a little bit of a vent. First and foremost, I would like to say that I would've posted more blogs and Youtube videos, but I really suck at editing, and I'm always busy. So, I'm more about quality than quantity. But thank you for watching my videos. Ok, back to my vent....You know, I talk and listen to so many people about decisions they have made in their lives, and at the end of the discussion, I ask, "well, why did you do that?"...and they always tell me its because of what they(other people) said,,,or what they heard....first of all,,,who is "they"? People, please stop making your life decisions on what other people are telling you. I know its hard, but even me at 26 years old, am tired of people who do not know me, telling me what I should look like, eat like, act like, or be like. First of all, rules are meant to be broken, and everything doesn't apply to the same person. For example, I have oily skin, but I like foundation stick. The "rule" is, if you have oily skin, stay away from it, don't touch it , don't even think about wearing it!! But- I've been wearing stick foundation since I was in 10th grade, and if I had a breakout, it was because my diet wasn't right, it was bcus I was stress!! I drink plenty of water, and eat fruits and veggies,exercise, and take care of myself. I've gone months without breakouts, and I had breakouts even when I wasn't wearing foundation, but I got them bcus I was stressed!! Now I know some people do get breakouts from wearing oil products, but if you don't, then by all means, KEEP WEARING IT,if you like it!!! Don't stop wearing it bcus some magazine told you shouldn't. When it comes to eating right and your health....the rules are, "eat whole grains(they mostly advertise wheat), fruits and veggies". Ok, fruits and veggies are a given bcus they are natural, but some people have allergies to wheat, and it bloats them up and makes it hard to lose weight, among other things like breakouts, constipation and everything else. So if you are having these symptoms, why would u continue eating wheat??? Obviously, its not working for you, so cut it out. Just bcus you read in a book, or watch tv and they recommend it doesn't mean it works for everybody. You have to understand, that America is made up of businesses, and they want to take your money any way they can. So if they can mislead you, they will and hopefully you won't fall for it. My main point is to listen to your body, your mind, and feel that sometimes , the common sense that you have may be theright choice. Stop letting other people dictate the way you are suppose to live. Ok,,,,just wanted to vent about this,,,tell me your thoughts...bye

1. JUMP ROPE x 20 SEC
2. REST x 10 SEC

THIS BURNS A LOT OF CALORIES DURING AND DAYS AFTER ...IT TAXES YOU AEROBIC ( CARDIO) AND AEROBIC SYSTEMS ( WEIGHT TRAINING)....IT TONES ALSO AND IS GREAT FOR THE HEART!! DO THIS ON NON WEIGHT TRAINING DAYS....

FOODS FOR THOUGHT,,,,,

REMEMBER, CARBS ARE USED AND BURNED AS ENERGY ONLY WHEN YOU ARE EXERCISING AT AN HIGH INTENSITY. FATS ARE USED AND BURNED AS ENERGY WHEN YOU ARE DOING NORMAL STUFF LIKE GOING TO WORK, WALKING TO THE STORE, ETC. ONLY WHEN YOU ARE WORKING OUT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME ARE WHEN FATS ARE BURN. SO WHAT DOES ALL THIS MEAN?? YOU HAVE TO EAT CARBS THAT CAN BE BURNED FAST, AND EFFICIENTLY!!! THAT MEANS LEAVING THE TWINKIES, AND THE CANDY ALONE. WHY? BECAUSE THE BODY DOESN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEM, AND MOST PEOPLE DO NOT EAT THEM RIGHT BEFORE THEY EXERCISE. AND PROTEINS ARE MUSCLES BUILDERS, WHICH SUPPORTS YOUR BONES AND MAKES THEM STRONGER......BYE!!!!

MY FOOD STAPLES LIST

I recommended everyone make a list as I did. This will help you when you need to go grocery shopping, or if you happen to be hungry and are tempted to eat the wrong kind of foods. Food staples mean foods that you can and are always willing to eat. Not foods that you have every now and then, or foods that are bad for you. Also, fill in as many as you can, and leave room for addtitinal numbers so that you can add on to it in the future. And be creative and write each group in different colors, just to make it fun to look at!!! Bye!!!!
