Soup!
I’ve gotten a bunch of e-mails asking me for soup recipes, so I decided to feature a few of my favorite soups I’ve made so far!
I love soup because its low in calories, you can make it totally healthy, and it makes me happy!
So, here are a few links to the best soups ever!!!
Baked Potato soup. By far my favorite one, this tastes like it came from a restaurant, but its healthy!
Beef Stew – the easiest recipe ever!
So, that will answer some of the e-mails I have gotten. What is your favorite all time soup??

Exercise update!
I’ve still been working out every week, which has been awesome. I even rode my bike to work today because it was 50 degrees when I was leaving, and I thought, why take the bus when I can get there quicker on my bike and no waiting!
The one thing I forgot was that it will be dark out when I leave 🙁
Oh well, I’ll just have be careful!
I have an awesome tip that my boot camp instructor told me about last week. She was talking about when people have desk jobs (i.e. we don’t move much!) how important it is to get up periodically and walk around/keep moving.
One thing she does is after she uses the bathroom, is she will do 20 squats over the toilet! Isn’t that funny?! Just squat until your tush almost hits the seat, stand up and repeat. Try it, its pretty hard! So, if you drink a lot of water/coffee, and have a lot of potty breaks, it adds up fast!
I’ve also added 20 jumping jacks to that as well. (In the handicapped stall which is bigger and when no one else is in there!)
AND, my friend at work suggested doing calf raises while washing your hands, so now I am doing that as well!
So, a little mini work out during your bathroom break. Who’d have thought? I’ve done that for the last week and I think its a great way to add activity into your day.
