Dollar Tree Obesity

Found this book today at the dollar tree. Its written by a doctor so it should be interesting... not sure what angle this book takes, will see and make a later post about it.

Let's Try This Again

Last year was tough.. let's get back on the bandwagon and try this again...
Never give up, never surrender... Weight issues can be a lifelong struggle for some. Hopefully this year will be more conducive to living healthier and better.... Here's to great things to come, stay tuned......

Surfer Girl Diet

Surfer Girl Diet

Came across a diet from a Surfer Girl Diet from Frankie Harrer. Some of it is very easy like drinking Coconut water. Here you see it in the fridge, but I actually think it is sweeter at room temp.
Other tips are working out underwater?! Carrying weights and learning to hold your breath longer.
Yep maybe if you live somewhere warm and have a pool!!
Her go to salad includes mixed greens, plum tomatoes, a whole avocado, quinoa or lentils, scallions, pumpkins seeds, shaved carrots, cucumber, red bell peppers and persimmons (for a touch of sweetness!). Seems like an odd combination to me! Fresh ingredients are always better if you can source them. Other odd diets have been around forever. I will be sharing some of them over the next few weeks. Feel free to share your favs!

Dog Tired Excercise

Where did the phrase Dog Tired come from? According to answers.com it means to be physically exhausted, and comes from an old tale of Alfred the Great who used to send his sons out with his large pack of hunting dogs. When his sons Athelbrod or Edwin would round up the dogs, the one who had the most would get to sit at fathers right hand that night at dinner. These chases would leave them dog-tired. Well duh.... I am finding that out, after getting a rescue bird dog, oh boy, do they like to run, and run, and run some more!! The poor thing was orphaned and had to be nursed back to health so that explains the gap in my supposedly daily blog!! The dog is so loving, but like having a shadow, the dog rarely leaves my side. It helps motivate me to get out several times a day to have the natural exercise that type of dog craves! Which involves getting some outdoor type pants with drawstring, I expect to be tightening them up very quickly at this rate. Never having run before it is all new to me, especially since I already had one dog, with short legs, now when they both take off, it is take off with them or do a face plant in the dirt! So I try to pick up the pace for the time that I can without passing out, although I am out of breath. Hopefully that will pass the more I acclimate to the regularity of the run/walk/run exercise dog tired plan. What if you don't have a dog or any animal to exercise? Well just google walk/run exercise and here are a few of the ideas that pop up:

Extreme Thinspo

Just a few pics that I found for thinspo. Tried to give credit website that they are linked to.
Some shots have been shown to death. Others are not as widespread. But they give you an idea of what the modeling industry is looking for.

Be Inspired Buy Clothes Not Food

Be Inspired c.2016 ZeroCalorieKid

When you can buy itty bitty under things, It's obvious that you aren't spending your money on food. So what will you spend your food money on?? If you don't buy fast food, Krispy Kreme, or Starbucks every week, well it adds up. So say goodbye to your granny panties, and put your money towards something worthwhile, Like a designer purse!! Or maybe implants! I have seen so many before and after shots and some women loose all their boobs - yeah the one place you don't want to loose it!! That's my rant for today. Whatever you do stay inspired!!

Bones- Not Sold In Any Store

Bones Copyright 2016 ZeroCalorieKid

Collar bones, haven't seen mine recently!! Are you big boned? How much does bone structure play in your predisposition to gain or loose weight?  One report I saw said that your bones take up 14-20% of your body weight. That's not very much! The rest is muscle, organs, tissue, fat and water!! Point is we can't control how much our bones weigh but we can control how much fat is put on those bones.
We can't buy a new store bought skeleton for ourselves. If we want to see our own bone structure, then of course some of the fat has to go. That being said, a lot of models swear by diet tea. There are  numerous brands on the market - you can shop any health food store or amazon. One brand is 3 Ballerinas. Some of the tea can have a laxative effect so if you are unfamiliar with the ingredients of the tea, you need to do some research before you take it. You don't want to drink it right before an interview or important event and spend the whole time in the toilet!! I have some organic Jasmine Green tea that is calorie free. It's a great hot tea for winter.
