HOW TO READ BAR CODES…!(everyonemust know)

ALWAYS READ THE LABELS ON THE FOODS YOU BUY–NO MATTER WHAT THE FRONT OF THE BOX OR PACKAGE SAYS, TURN IT OVER AND

READ THE BACK—CAREFULLY!
With all the food and pet products now coming from China, it is best to make sure you read label at the supermarket and especially when buying food products. Many products no longer show where they were made, only give where the distributor is located. The whole world is concerned about China-made “black-hearted goods”.

Can you differentiate which one is made in Taiwan or China ? The world is also concerned about GMO (Genetically Modified Organism) foods; steroid fed animals (ex: 45 days old
broiler chicken). It is important to read the bar code to track its origin.

bHow to read Bar Codes….interesting ! If the first 3 digits of the bar code are 690, 691 or 692, theproduct is MADE IN
CHINA. 471 is Made in Taiwan .

If the first 3 digits of the barcode are 00-09 then it’s made or sourced in USA. This is our right to know, but the government and related departments never educate the public, therefore we have to RESCUE ourselves. Nowadays, Chinese businessmen know that consumers do not prefer products “MADE IN CHINA”, so they don’t show from which country it is
made.

However, you may now refer to the barcode – remember if the first 3 digits are:

890……MADE IN INDIA
690, 691, 692 … then it is MADE IN CHINA
00 – 09 … USA and CANADA
30 – 37 … FRANCE
40 – 44 … GERMANY
471 …….. Taiwan
955………Malaysia
49 ………. JAPAN
50 ………. UK

Read it. Learn it. Deal with it.

Is this true? Is this true? Why am I doing sit-ups?!

to get stronger and speed up your metabolism ^

doing sit-ups will increase the muscle in your stomach area (give you visible stomach muscles, if you eat properly and include cardio!) and by increasing your body’s overall muscle mass, they will in-turn increase your metabolism! more muscle = faster metabolism! :)

YES YES YES! My definition gets so much clearer when I eat like 90% clean! And then if I eat all junk it’ll mostly go away and be replaced by bloating even just the next day!

I’m on Day 10 of the 30 day squat challenge! Just did 105 squats! I feel like I’m already seeing results, and I’ve been taking progress photos to be revealed at the end. I love that my legs are getting so sore, so when I go for a run or to the gym now like my legs are sore from the getgo haha. Means something is working out!

I’ve already posted this schedule along with some other different looks for the same schedule but posting it again SO DO IT WITH ME! You won’t regret it!

Different coping strategies for disorders:

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 23:23:50 -0400

Anxiety: My counselor used to refer to it as the "McDonalds Milkshake" technique. Get a straw, preferably a bit thicker of one like a milkshake straw and take deep breaths through it. This will help focus your thoughts away from anxieties, engage your diaphragm and open your lungs to help stop chest tightening sensations. Additionally, wearing a wristwatch and counting seconds up to a minute can also help to center yourself. Always remember your deep breathing!
Dissociation: You need to encourage communication between your logical and emotional cognition. A neat way of doing this is if you can catch it as it's coming on, stand on one foot, squeeze or fidget with something like a stress ball, and begin venting to yourself. Even just whisper quietly, talk about what you're feeling and thinking. Engaging yourself physically like this as well as emotionally will help keep you grounded.
Depression: Remember that while it's okay and totally necessary to take a day off sometimes and let yourself mentally recoup, you do need to continue a routine. Even if it's uncomfortable get out and run errands, clean your house, phone someone. By pushing yourself to be proactive it can help to correct your brain. Additionally, about 20 minutes of exercise each day can help heaps as well.
Hallucinations: Call someone. Wish I could tell you some kind of super amazing coping advice for this, but honestly, the best thing you can do when hallucinations start happening is just avoid being alone. Text someone, Facebook someone, Skype, phone. Let someone know what's happening and allow them the liberty also to be able to contact ambulatory services if it goes too far. There's also many many helplines available that can assist you with this.
OCD: Exposure therapy, although in some areas a bit controversial, can be incredibly effective. It's often recommended though to have a counselor or worker with you while this happens if your OCD is quite severe. An interesting thing my counselor recently told me is to make yourself OCD-free zones. Draw out boundaries in your home and town where within certain areas you won't allow yourself and will stop as many compulsive behaviors as you can, and outside the boundaries you're free to do as you please. This can help teach management of negative symptoms as well as show that a little bit of compulsion is perfectly fine.
Borderline Personality: Thought challenging. Before you fly off with your emotions because someone says something that you take as invalidating, try and stop yourself for just a moment and force logic into the situation. Try and show yourself how this comment wasn't meant to make you feel bad, and while your emotions are always valid and you as a person are valid, this comment wasn't meant to be invalidating. Additionally, it's good to have communication about this but REMAIN CALM (as hard as it can be). By calmly sorting out your emotions and opinions you can shed a lot of relief onto a situation.
Bipolar Disorder: Mood tracking, so great. eMoods, Optimism, and a couple other apps for this stuff is out there and can be incredibly useful. Being able to map out your mood cycles and see them graphed makes it much easier to predict, manage and prevent negative self talk and other symptoms.

Lavender-Lemonade Honeydew Frosty

Hey! How are you going? :) The thing is that I always drink soy milk instead of cow milk because I'm a bit lactose intolerant. I thought the soy milk I usually drink is healthy but the other day I was checking the ingredients' list and I saw that it has fructose, and I've heard that fructose isn't healthy. Should I change the brand of milk? Thank you very much ^^

Mon, 17 Jun 2013 12:53:54 -0400

I mean if you really like how it tastes then I wouldn’t worry about it too much, because some fructose doesn’t really hurt… But if you do want to eat as clean as possible I would switch to unsweetened and all natural soy milk or really anything that only has like soybeans and water in it. Or you could literally make your own with a blender and strainer.

The Youtube Workout Calendar!

Click to englarge, feel free to save/print for reference! (I know, I know, it’s not in actual calendar form, I was having a lot of trouble with that so I settled for this format. I worked super hard on this so please don’t remove any credit!)

Alright guys, here it is! I’ve put together a calendar that contains 31 days of at home youtube workouts!

The days rotate between upper, middle, and lower body and each day has at least one high intensity, general, or cardio workout included in it. Many start with a warm up and end with yoga or a cool down (if a day doesn’t, feel free to make up your own!).The workouts are all home workouts that I personally picked out for you guys. They come from a ton of youtubers who love to make workout videos! The majority of these videos require no more than yourself, some determination, dumbbells and a towel.

For maximum results, eat clean of course, and feel free to run on any of these days along with your workouts or add in anything else you’d like. Please take the time to rest on your rest day though and give yourself a day to heal!

I’ll be doing the calendar right beside you guys (I’ve started about 2 days early), so when you’re done PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP LIKE SERIOUSLY PLEASE message/send me your progress pics, submit them, tweet me (@fitsexylovely_), or put them in my tag (fitsexylovely)! Any progress is better than none and I really wanna see how this works for you guys. Message me anytime if you have any questions!

xoxo, Nia :)
