Be You, Be Beautiful: November 2010

Miranda Lambert

One of the hottest performers in country music right now!

Everyone should accept their curves but keeping those beautiful curves can be as simple as a fifteen minute work out!

I recommend the P90x Ab Ripper X. It's tougher than most ab workouts, but it's 15 minutes a day, every other day! It's a tough workout but if you're up for it, GO FOR IT!

If you're not interested in an intense workout, check out the video and adjust it for you!

EAT RIGHT!

Why diet when all you really need to do it eat right!

Eat a large breakfast
- A glass of orange juice
- Half of a grapefruit (No sugar!)
- Whole wheat toast
- Egg whites
It'll leave you satisfied until lunch!

Don't deprive yourself!
The secret? SMALL PORTIONS! Everything in moderation!
Have a small serving of your favorite sweet twice a week

Watch portion sizes
Eat slowly and stop when you are full! Don't over eat, you can always take the leftovers home for later!

Eat fresh foods and not processed foods!
Find naturally packaged fruit, veggies, and lean meats.

Get Great Arms and Legs!

Every workout should start with a 15-30 minute cardio session. Cardio can be jogging, biking, jumping rope, or really anything you enjoy that gets your heart rate up. Then try these four simple moves, 3 times each, with a minute in between each circuit, and you'll have toned arms and legs!

Move 1: Lunge and Hit

1. Start in a fighting stance

Legs bent slightly

Feet shoulder width apart

Fists up

2. Lunge with your left leg

Throw a punch with your left arm at same time

Go back to starting position

Do 10 times with your left

Then do the same move, 10 times with your right

Move 2: Load Up and Kick

1. Start in same fighting stance

Rotate your left foot, so toes point left

2. Bring left knee up to 90 degrees

3. Kick your left leg to the side so it's parallel to the floor

Hint: the leg you are not kicking will feel the burn!

Do ten on each side!

Move 3: Duck and Strike

1. Duck to kneel on right knee with left knee up

Hands under shoulders

2. Kick your right leg up and straight out behind you

Keep your foot flexed

Stand again, repeat the duck

Do ten on each side!

Move 4: Punch and Block

With knees bent...

1. Punch your right arm straight out in front

2. Punch with your left arm

Repeat (1-2-3-4 ; right, left, right, left)

Then...

3. Bend right arm

Bring elbow to shoulder level

4. Twist at hips

Throw elbow across body

Do this with both arms

Each for one minute

Healthy Snacks!

Hungry in the morning?

Skinny Latte is the perfect breakfast!

Creamy latte made with skim milk is lighter than those sugary energy drinks or filling Starbucks coffees!

Hungry before lunch? Who isn't?

Recharge with a fruit & nut bar!

Cookies and chips are useless and unsatisfying calories.

Fruit and nut bars are full of protein and they're good calories.

Everyone needs a quick after-school snack.

Try out mexi-crackers, they're super easy!

Spread two wedges of Laughing Cow Light cheese

on 8 whole grain crackers and put a dab of salsa on top.

Need energy before a big game or a long night of studying?

Jelly beans are the perfect amount of sugar and do not stay in your stomach for long so you won't feel weighed down!

Late-night treats are always the best part of the day!

Try Skinny Cow ice cream sandwiches!

"Mom Jeans"

I don't see any "mom jeans" here. Only Jessica Simpson, a beautiful performer with a great body. She's stunning!

"Kiss My Fat Ass!"

Get The Facts

Anorexia is self-starvation that causes extreme weight loss.

People who have anorexia nervosa are typically below normal weight for their body type, age, and activity level.

These people fear gaining weight or being what is considered “fat”, and these feelings are typically extreme.

They see themselves differently than others see them and the sickness causes people to feel “fat” although they are losing weight rapidly.

It is important for people to know the affects of anorexia and realize it truly is a disease that needs attention, treatment, and support.

People with anorexia cannot just stop this obsessive behavior and need professional help and the support of family and friends

Jamie Lee Curtis

Jamie Lee Curtis embraces her body and shows More Magazine her true beauty. According to Curtis, she has "very big breasts and a soft, fatty little tummy... and ... back fat". Doesn't she look beautiful?!

Facts of the Day

Eating disorders, such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, are a direct result of emotional problems, behavioral issues, and different attitudes about ones weight and food consummation.

Eating disorders cause emotional and physical problems and have life-long and life-threatening consequences.

Although eating disorders are emotional and behavioral problems about food and eating and are mostly influenced by peers, family, and also themselves, the media also has a much bigger affect than one would like to realize.
