Flaxmeal Cinnamon Muffins

My new years resolution this year is to eat healthier so I'm trying out some new recipes.  Here's a great muffin recipe I found on Linda's Low Carb website.  They definitely need some butter (I used light butter) to spead on top but over all not bad for my first attempt at using flaxmeal.

South Beach Diet?

I did horrible at intuitive eating and really didn't lose when I counted calories. The only diet that's ever worked for me was the Atkins diet but since I'm not single anymore and now have a husband and teenage step-daughter to feed it's just not very practical.

The South Beach Diet seems much more doable and after you get through the first two weeks doesn't exclude any foods. Which should make it easier to find meals the whole family will enjoy!

It also encourages 20 minutes of exercise a day and tells you exactly what to do but still lets you decide how to do it (ie treadmill, walking, elliptical....)

So I downloaded the kindle book "The South Beach Diet Supercharged" to my iPhone and am almost finished and started following the eating plan and exercise today.

Anybody had any success with South Beach?

Wish me luck!

Time to move it AND lose it!

I know people always say NOT to do this but being the stubborn Taurus girl that I am I ordered my wedding gown a size smaller than what I actually wear! I've been trying to follow intuitive eating and lose the natural way but it's just not working for me and I'm starting to get a little nervous!

I've always had good luck whenever I do any type of low carb diet but I really do want to be able to do the intuitive eating thing so that I can eat whatever and still be healthy.....

I also realize that sitting on my butt in front of the computer all day and night is probably not helping me get any slimmer either! whoops! So today I did Turbo Jam for the first time. Totally fun but totally KICKED MY BUTT! My fiance is wanting to start Power 90x but I watched it and it looks kinda hard core for me so I may just watch him do that one. hee hee

Anyways wish me luck and whoosh fairies! (that's the fairy that comes while you're sleeping and whooshes the fat away in case you didn't know!)

I know there's positives to both eating styles I just need to pick one and buckle down pronto!
