I'm still here everybody!


Things are pretty crazy at the moment for me. I am now working a 2nd job in a salon. So my time is minimal on the computer. WHEW! I have not been working out much lately, but I am still on track with my eating and will continue to be. I dont like the way I feel, when I eat junk!
Just wanted to let you know where I've been.

Spicy Foods?


5 Benefits of Spicy Foods


1. Weight loss. Spicy foods are said to help rev up your metabolism and the faster your metabolism, the more weight you will lose. Furthermore, studies have shown that people who eat spicy foods eat smaller portions which can cut your calories way back.

2. Cancer Prevention: Scientists have discovered that capsaicin (found in jalepeno peppers) attacks and kills cancer cells. The way it does this is by attacking the mitochondria which are the powerhouses of cells.

3. Improved digestion. Even though spicy food has a bad reputation for causing heart burn, it has been shown that the spiciness stimulates stomach secretions. This in turn will increase blood flow to the stomach and even increase the mucous lining and combat ulcers. If you do find you get heartburn from spicy foods, try taking an antacid relief tablet which will neutralize acids in the stomach.

4. Improved circulation. The spicier the food, the more it increases your blood flow, gets your heart pumping, and raises the body’s temperature. If you live in a hot climate this can actually make you feel cooler by making you sweat which cools the body.

5. Improved sleep patterns. Australian researchers have found that people who regularly consumed spicy meals fell asleep more easily, had healthier sleep patterns, and even woke up easier and had more energy throughout the day.

Peppery hot foods have been in the human diet for more than 8000 years, and are becoming more and more popular due to increased health benefits. Almost any recipe can be spiced up with the addition of chili peppers, hot sauce, peppers, or other spices.

This was my motivation this morning!

Delicious Breakfast that I just made!


I added a little water and cayenne pepper sauce to the eggs.
I put spinach, onions and green pepper into the mixture.
Topped it with a sprinkle of shredded mexican cheese and salsa!

I am happy to say that I actually worked out today and feel great! I haven't worked out in 3 days....with my father in law getting married this past weekend and i was worn out!
