Anyway here is her part 2 of burning 200 calories!
10 More Ways to Burn 200 Calories (*based on a 135lb woman)
Here’s 10 more ways to burn off those calories!
1. Clean your wheels. Skip the car wash and not only save $12, but you’ll burn off some calories doing it yourself! In just 31 minutes of washing, waxing and drying your car you’ve worked your way to smoking hot.
2. Have a “stairing” contest. Set aside 15 minutes, stand at the bottom of the stairs and do super fast step ups. Use the same lead leg for 30 step ups, then switch to the other leg. In between sets do 10 incline push-ups with your hands on the stairs. Repeat this three minute cycle five times.
3. Start kidding around. Log in to Big Brothers Big Sisters of America website (BBBS.org) and volunteer to be a buddy to a young girl in need. Take her to the park and bring yourself back to the good old days and do some cartwheels for 10 minutes, swing on the swings for 21 minutes and finish up with a good old 5 minute game of tag. Now you’ve burned right through those calories!
4. Make a U-Turn. Try this 20 minute interval fun-run designed by Jerry Macari, the creator of RunUrban training program in New York City.
a. Jog for 10 minutes at an easy pace
b. Burst into a fast run for 2 minutes
c. Rest for 30 seconds
d. Repeat 4 more times
5. Weed your garden. Be a weekend weeding warrior. Spending about 40 minutes picking pesky weeds and you’re weeded out some calories. Not to mention how beautiful the yard will look when you’re all done.
6. Take a kissing challenge. Bet you didn’t know that you burn approximately 1.1 calories per minute of kissing. So maybe you won’t burn 200 calories in one make-out session, but you can over a weeks span!
7. Master the “Single Ladies” dance….FINALLY! This song is played at nearly every bar, club or wedding and will be for the rest of your life! So learn the moves! Warm up like Beyonce with plies: stand with your heels together, toes out. Keep your back straight, lower into a squat for eight counts. Now pull up the video on YouTube and start practicing. After about 9 times through the 3:13 song, you’ll know the steps, the song and have burned 200 calories!
8. Kick Some Grass. Join a local soccer team or hop into regular pickup games at the park. See how many goals you can score in 27 minutes. Research from the University of Copenhagen in Denmark show women who take up soccer as their new exercise, sculpt their legs faster and are more likely to stick with the program.
9. Discover A Swimming Hole. Log onto SwimmingHoles.org to find homegrown directions to your local swimming holes in your state. Many of these are in “hidden locations” so the 10 minute walk there, 10 minute frolic in the water and 10 minute hike back took care of those calories.
10. Wrap up in a Snuggie! On a rainy Sunday afternoon cozy up on the couch and catch up on your DVR for 3 hours and 14 minutes and you’ve burned 200 calories!
See all the gray hairs on the crown of my head too? If I plucked those I would be bald and the eyebrows are getting a bit thin too! ARGH, 40 and gray = RUDE!
When I saw this opportunity to talk about the Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products I jumped on it because I DO use them 90% of the time. If you take a look at the labels on their Health and Wellness products you will notice that their ingredients are VERY comparable to the name brands but a lot cheaper. They may be cheaper, but they are not less effective!
Ones that I use regularly, and always have on hand are; Children’s Ibuprofen, Children’s Pain relief, and Children’s Allergy. I love all these products because I can get them all in grape flavor. Grape is the only flavor of medicine my kids will take. The Ibuprofen and pain relief help with my kids fevers and since you never know when y our child will get a fever, they are nice to always have on hand and ready to use.
I picked up the Children’s Allergy for the first time last summer when we went to Idaho on vacation. My son’s allergies were horrible there and we went to a doctor about them. He gave us a prescription for a name brand medication and like a fool, I filled the name brand first. It did not work! I then went to Walgreens and bought their Children’s allergy and it worked a lot better. I was so mad that I spend a $25 co-pay for my prescription name brand allergy medication and in the long run the $5.99 allergy meds worked better. Lesson learned!
Another reason I go to Walgreens is for the Pharmacy. I have got a few prescriptions from the CVS pharmacy close to my house but their pharmacy staff is not as friendly as the Walgreens pharmacy staff. When I had to get an enema for my 18 month old son I started at CVS and got frustrated and walked over to Walgreens and got very friendly help and all my questions answered. Customer service is a big deal to me and Walgreens comes through for me each and every time with their awesome customer service.
Walgreens has a 100% satisfaction guarantee on their products. Visit Walgreens website to learn more about their Health & Wellness products.
For every purchase of Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products, support will go towards the Walgreens Way to Well Fund™ Walgreens will contribute up to $3 million annually to this fund!
Also check out other blogs that are hosting giveaways for Walgreens gift cards!
If you have never given Walgreens Brand Health & Wellness Products a try I hope you will now. It will save you quite a bit of money and you will be getting the same benefits as the name brand formulas.
Have a wonderful day!

Here are some thoughts today!
1. Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching? ~Dennis and Wendy Mannering
I need this one today! My attitude has been taking a dive, that is why I need to start my affirmations again!
2. Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. ~Anthony J. D’Angelo, The College Blue Book
With all the rain that has come ans STILL coming, I think we could all benefit from this quote!
3. I keep my mind focused on peace, harmony, health, love and abundance. Then, I can’t be distracted by doubt, anxiety, or fear. –Edith Armstrong
Again, I need this one because my attitude has been dwindling. I have been taking a break on positive thinking and it is showing. My anxiety levels have increased and if I keep letting it “win” then I will keep this last few pounds on and I do not want that!
4. If you don’t get everything you want, think of the things you don’t get that you don’t want. ~Oscar Wilde
This just says it doesn’t it?!!
I hope you all have a wonderfully positive day!

I have had a little frustration during this realm of P90X with my hubby so I have changed up my exercise routine a bit.
I am no longer waiting for him anymore because he finds a lot of excuses to not do the workouts with me anymore. If I workout earlier in the day and he wants to workout I will do a second workout with him but I cannot afford to put it off til he gets home and then waiting
until 11:00pm for the night to be over, me tired, and going to bed frustrated.
We did get a bike trailer for the kids and we have taken a couple bike rides, which is perfect. However we just found the reason why the inner tube keeps busting, a bent rim, and we can’t fix it we can only replace the tires. This is a big bummer because it costs $60 for replacement tires. ARGH!
See…he is an all or nothing kind of guy. He really wants to do the bike riding thing and I totally respect that. However, since the trailer thing is put on hold now he is upset about it and does nothing. I get frustrated because, OK it broke, so lets do another type of workout. he does not see it that way.
So instead of getting frustrated with him I am working out by myself…AGAIN! Oh well, I will quit whining. The last time I just shut-up the feeling sorry for myself and kept to my routine and eventually he joined me. So this is what I will do again. The $60 for the tires is going to have to wait 30 days or so. I guess if he wants to wait 30 days too that is his prerogative, I am not waiting though!
My friend who used to live 20 minutes away now lives 2/5 minutes away. We are meeting up at 6am an walking for 60-90 minutes and I love it! That on top of yard work and kids and Turbo Jam during the day is going to rock. If my hubby wants to workout after work then that will just be a bonus!
Have a great day everyone!
Peace!

Dawn from We May Not Have It All Together commented on one of my blog posts and introduced me to Amazon Prime and diaper delivery. In the store Huggies cost me about .34 cents each, at Sam’s club almost .25 cents per diaper but have to spend $35 a year on a membership. How much are they with Amazon Prime, delivered…
.19 cents each! I signed up for a Amazon Mom account and auto ship and the shipping is FREE and the diapers are a lot cheaper!
An no Amazon is not paying me a penny for this post! I just love to share when i find good deals AND when I don’t, but in this case, it is a GOOD DEAL!
Who loves not having to pack the kids up to get a good deal sent to you door step…uh me! This is so sweet!
If I do auto ship I can skip a shipment if I don’t need it and if I need diapers earlier I can speed it up, perfect! I would highly suggest this form of diaper delivery!
Have a great day! Thanks again Dawn
Peace!

Random Thoughts
OK so I don’t get the spamming comments…really!
I want to know what is in it for spammer’s when it comes to blog posts. Do they not get it? Do they really think that I am going to publish their crappy spam comments?
The messages are so stupid too and the English is usually so broken you can’t understand it.
I had word verification on and then I turned it off during a big giveaway and within minutes I had a dozen spammed messages to approve…well not approve.
The comments are so ridiculous that half the time they don’t even make sense anyway.
So I am wondering what the benefit is for these comment spammers? What are they gaining by getting refused and sent to “spam?”
Any thoughts, please chime in!
This a no spam free zone! I don’t spam and I don’t want you too either so back off spammers! Tawna is on the prowl!
I have a hypothesis.
I really think that the only people that spend this much time spamming have no life, no relationships, and no self-esteem at all. They have to be the loneliest and maddest, unhappy people in the world. Who else would go around trying to virus everyone (well besides the anti-virus companies) or spam everyone? You have to be a real low life to do this! Misery loves company right?
Have a good one and a spam free day! Thanks for letting me vent!
