Energy Bars

gordon martel — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 02:14:53 +0100

A few months back I wrote about Eddies Energy bars and how they were becoming very popular in the fitness world. That trend is continuing. Eddie Royal wide receiver for the Denver Broncos became a consumer and was so impressed a deal was brokered to have his label placed on bar. Check the web site.

Now Eddies energy will be embarking a new idea. Putting the mix in a packet and allowing you or others to purchase like a brownie mix and make your own!! What a great idea. All you do isRead More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 23

Courtney Rice — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 18:33:50 +0100

Day 23 is here. Day 30 is right around the corner and I have lost 4 pounds. I am done saying ONLY because 4 pounds is still an accomplishment. I am going to continue to track my food consumption and workout for at least 30 minutes a day. I am feeling better about myself and I really think that my clothes are fitting better. Weight loss is a journey and I have committed myself to success. No matter how long it takes! :)

For breakfast I had:

3 scoops of protein powder in a shake: 3 Read More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 19

Courtney Rice — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:10:39 +0100

It's Day 19 and I am still only down 4 pounds! UGH! I am eating right and exercising but still not losing the weight. But I am still on board with this and still determined. My co-worker from Tucson was up here yesterday and we decided that we are going to help one another. Her name is Courtney too and she wants to lose about as much weight as I do. It always helps to have a friend on board with your diet and fitness regime. Too bad she lives in Tucson! Haha. We decided that we are goinRead More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 18

Courtney Rice — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:06:31 +0100

I had a great day of exercise and ate perfectly yesterday and I still didn't move the scale. Still down 4 pounds, but with only 13 days left and 6 pounds to go, I need to be on my game! Today I am going to stay motivated and keep on track. Whether I am moving the needle on the scale or not, I am still looking and feeling better and that's what ultimately matters. I would love to drop the weight - and I am still dedicated to do so - but getting healthier is the most important!

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 17

Courtney Rice — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:14:12 +0100

I can't believe that I am half way done with this fit challenge! I knew that it would be hard to lose 10 pounds in 30 days, but it just came off in the beginning and made me think that it would be so easy. I think that lead to me to not make the best choices and not follow my diet and exercise plan as well as I should have. Well, let's make one thing clear, losing weight is not easy. It didn't take one day to Read More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 13

Courtney Rice — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 18:03:17 +0100

Why does the weight come off in the first week and then not come off in the second? I even gained a pound and THAT hasn't come off. Well, 4 pounds in 13 days is still good, but it is leaving me wanting more. So after I weighed myself this morning, I was disappointed that I had worked out and ate right this week and still have only shed 4 pounds!

So for breakfast, I went to AJ's to get a bagel and an iced tea. It is a nice Friday treat and fills me up for a long time! So IRead More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 12

Courtney Rice — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 17:19:11 +0100

It is Day 12 and I am in a boatload of pain. Andrew and I did a great workout last night at the gym and my whole body is screaming at me today. My triceps from the ball throw, my butt from the kettlebell swings and squat jumps, my back hurts from... something! But it is that good pain - the one where you know that you had a good workout. The kind that keep me motivated. That is the name of the game rigRead More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 11

Courtney Rice — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 17:29:50 +0100

I GAINED A POUND!!! WHAT??? How absolutely terrible is that??!! I am so pissed. But if I look back on some of the things that I ate yesterday, well, no kidding I gained a pound. I need to use this as motivation, not discouragement. And I need to make better choices and really think about what I am putting in to my mouth because it is showing up on the scale... and in my behind.

For breakfastRead More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 10

Courtney Rice — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 18:30:40 +0100

It's Day 10 of the 30 Day Fit Challenge. It is most certainly getting easier to make decisions when it comes to food and easier to say, yes, let's go workout! Continuing motivation will continue success. I have a busy day today, so let's get down to those points!

For breakfast, I had:

3 egg whites: 1 WW point
4.5 slices of turkey: 1 WW point
2 cups of black coffee with splenda: 0 WW points
1/2 cup of cottage cheese: 2 WW points
Total for my odd breakfast: 4 WW pointsRead More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 9

Courtney Rice — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 17:24:50 +0100

The first week of the 30 Day Fit Challenge is done and I am down 5 lbs! I am feeling more energetic and my pants are certainly fitting a little better. I am motivated to keep going and already think that I will continue the Fit Challenge another 30 Days! I am already half-way to my goal, but I know that the last 5 lbs will be much tougher to take off that the first 5. This means that to reach my goal of 10 lbs in one month, I need to take it up a notch. Yes, I have lost 5 lbs, but no, I have Read More...

30 Day Fit Challenge Day 6, 7, and 8

Courtney Rice — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 20:05:29 +0100

I find it harder to blog on the weekends, but I did work out and stick to my points this weekend. And to my surprise, I lost another 2 pounds this weekend! In the first week, I am down 5 pounds. How freaking awesome is that?! :)

I had a really great workout yesterday with my trainer boyfriend. He did back and arms, followed by 45 minutes of cardio and heavy stretching. I forgot how much I enjoy working out together because it is great motivation and really pushes and encoRead More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 5

Courtney Rice — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 19:32:31 +0100

It is Day 5 of the 30 Day Fit Challenge and although I had HORRID yesterday, I STILL LOST 1lb! That brings down a total of 3 lbs in just 5 days. I must admit that's totally awesome! :) I am proud of myself and this definitely gives me the motivation to continue.

I woke up late today and ended up working from home. It's actually a good thing because I have to head out to the field today anyway. When I woke up, I kind of had lunch for breakfast. I had:

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 4

Courtney Rice — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:41:30 +0100

It's Day 4 of my 30 Day Fit Challenge and I must admit, I am tired today! I have an event tonight so my plan was to get up, work out then go to work. As I've said many times, I am SO not a morning person. I snoozed like 5 times, then popped in the P90x video and got about 4 minutes in and totally gave up. Terrible. Writing that just gave me uber guilt, but I honestly did not have the energy in me this morning to bust Read More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 3

Courtney Rice — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 17:25:49 +0100

It's Day 3 and the scale says that I've already lost 2 lbs! This is the scale that I always use, but how can I lose 2 lbs in only 2 days? I am skeptical to believe it, but would the scale really lie? Since I am a bit skeptic, I am going to work really hard again today and see if I can drop another lb today. I know that the first 5 lbs are easy to lose, but hey, it's great motivation!

I woRead More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Grocery Shopping

Courtney Rice — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:00:16 +0100

I must admit that I am giddy with excitement right now! I just went grocery shopping for the 30 Day Fit Challenge and I got some incredible stuff! Not only are the items I purchased healthy, but they are also delicious and will help me reach my goal.

But the besRead More...

30 Day Fit Challenge: Day 2

Courtney Rice — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:43:09 +0100

I honestly can not say that I started this 30 Day Fit Challenge off on the right foot. I went way over my nutrition goals and ate way too many points. I decided though that I can't beat myself up over it because they were choices that I made. I wasn't forced to eat a cupcake or have that rice in my salad. I made those choices and now I have to make sure that I am on track today.

Losing weight and maintaining a healthy lifestyle are all about the personal choices that you Read More...

30 Day Fitness Challenge - Day 1

Courtney Rice — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 19:11:20 +0100

Day 1 of the fitness challenge was not so great! I had not really planned out my day, so I honestly winged it. But it honestly gave me a nice kick in the butt for day 2 and I planned for a successful day.

But let's get to the point. Everyday I will be tracking what I ate, how much I exercised and temptations I gave in to and was able to avoid. I by no means am perfect and I know that this is going to be a struggle for me. But my goal is to lose 10 pounds in 30 days and I Read More...
