Calorie Count On The Go

Tammy — Fri, 14 May 2010 11:00:15 +0000

In December of last year, I posted about ways to make holiday recipes healthier. I had attended a webinar put on by Calorie Count and they provided great tips to help with holiday eating.

Calorie Count, just launched a brand new phone app, and I thought I’d let you know about it. This app is a free, downloadable diet tool that allows users to track and manage weight, search and log nutritional data, popular exercises and healthy recipes all while on-the-go...a time when critical dieting decisions are often made. Essentially, the Calorie Count App serves as an all-in-one diet coach, nutritionist and workout trainer!

Bound For Barcelona - Our Last Day At Sea

Tammy — Sat, 08 May 2010 17:00:13 +0000

Our last day at sea was Earth Day, April 22nd. It's hard to believe that at this point our cruise was almost over.

We were quite busy on board today.

We splurged a bit and played some Bingo. We didn't win any cash prizes, but we did get a special "Earth Day" gift, which I'll be giving away to one of my readers on Monday!

I Wish I Had Caught That On Video...

Tammy — Sat, 08 May 2010 13:00:11 +0000

If I had a penny for every video we never shot of Amber growing up, I'd be rich. I think we didn't get our video camera until she was about 8 or 9. Once we got one, we were lucky if we remembered to bring it along with us. Seriously we are doing well if we remember to bring our still camera on most occasions. There are times though, that I really wish we had those cute but embarrassing moments on tape, just so we could have shown them at her wedding! (Mean aren't I?!)
