How ice cold water helps you loose weight.
Drinking ice cold water all day everyday; ice cold water helps burn calories, about 35 calories per 8ozs. How is that possible you ask? Well your body will have to warm up the water before it can process it and digest it, so that’s burning calories. The colder the water the more calories you burn. It is also good to drink 8ozs of ice cold water 30 minutes before any meal. Why? Well it helps jump start your metabolism because your body was working to warm up the water and digesting it. I drink about 8-10 glasses a day. It also makes you pee a lot so it is helping detox your body of all the bad sugars/fats.
Water is the number one most important thing to address when it comes to losing weight, because water actually increases your body’s ability to metabolize fat. Here’s how:

Your liver is the organ that deals with metabolizing fat, and your kidneys deal with straining the toxins out of the water you drink. However, if you do not have enough water in your system already, your kidneys will not be able to do their job. In this case, your body shifts some of the work over to your liver.

So drinking water will not only helps you loose weight it also helps your body dispose of the bad sugars and fat. So instead of grabbing for that soda drink some water.

5 Questions

Written By



1. If you could go back to college would you change your major? Or, if you were to go to college right now…what major would you choose?
When I go back to school I am not sure what I would want to do.  I was going for nursing until I hurt my back.  I was thinking for awhile I wanted to go into social work but now I am thinking maybe web design or graphic design but until I know I am not going go back and waste more time or money.

2. What do you love most about your home?
I love that my girls are here with me.  I couldn’t live with out my cubs!  They make the world go round.  Oh and my grandma because she is always doing something funny or weird and making me laugh!

3. What types of books do you like to read (if you like to read at all)?
I like books about WWII.  I love to read stories that the Jews wrote or people who tried to save as many as they could.  I also love books by Jodi Picoult.  I don’t read much but when I do I usually finish books really quickly.

4. What is the grossest thing you’ve ever eaten?
I don’t eat gross things.  I can’t really remember eating something that I didn’t like.  I pretty much stick to things that I know I like.

5. If you HAD to be a character on a TV show, whom would you be?

If I had to be someone I would want to be on Dog The Bounty Hunter!  I love that show and would love to be a bounty hunter.


I hadn’t done this in awhile so I figured it would be fun to do it again!!!

Writers Workshop

3 Jun
Written By

These are the prompts for this weeks Workshop.  I haven’t done with in awhile but I am going to try and write one because I need to just write.  It has been a really long time since I have just written on this blog so I am going to do it!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1.) Write about a time when you laughed at an inappropriate time.

2.) What did you once lose?  Write about your search to find it again.
(inspired by writingfix.com)

3.) What current event do you feel strongly about? Write an opinion post!
(inspired by Jennifer from Momma Made It Look Easy.)

4.) Begin each line of your post with “have you ever”.
(inspired by Vikki from Live. Laugh. Pull Your Hair Out)

5.) Who doesn’t call or write you enough?  Write about that person.
(inspired by writingfix.com)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I think I am going to write about #3 because there is always something in the world that I feel strongly about.  There are a lot of things I could write about right now but I am going to write about the oil spill.  I don’t think our country is doing enough to stop it and I also don’t think that the company should be off the hook.  They should have to pay for the clean up.  I don’t see how it isn’t their fault.  I mean hell they were the ones drilling and the ones that caused the spill so it should be their responsibility to clean up the mess and pay for the outside people that are trying to clean it up as well.  

I don’t get why they aren’t working harder to try and clean up the mess and stop it.  It seems like the government in our country could care less about it.  I guess it just proves to me what a waste of a President we have.  He is all talk but isn’t really doing anything.  They should have started digging a relief well already because as I can see it that is going to to be the only thing that is going to stop the leak.  It seems like they don’t really want to stop the leak though.  Who knows though.

Those are my thoughts on that situation.  I could go on for days about our President but I will save that for a later date.

I posted this on my private blog but I don’t care anymore if he reads this so I am going post it here as well!

It is hard for me to believe that today will make it three years that I have been married.  Now that being said we have never had a real anniversary because the first year I was sick in bed from a migraine, year two we were separated and this year three we are officially done just not divorced yet.  For some reason this year is really hard for me.  It is probably because I know him and I won’t ever speak after things are done because of how he treats me and how is always trying to get into my business.  I guess I will never understand why he feels the need to still try and tell me what to do and have to know everything that is going on in my life.  I am going to go through his stuff this weekend and get rid of it all in the next few weeks.  I am done playing his games and he doesn’t think I will do it.  So when he does come to get what was in my storage unit it will all be gone.  I just have no desire to see him or to even deal with him anymore.  I hope he can be happy but I doubt that he will ever truly be happy because of how he treats people.  He doesn’t seem to get why people don’t stay around him very long.  Even his “friends” don’t stay around him very long.  One of his “friends” that knows Tim asked Tim what I was really like because “he knows how Josh is”.  It makes me really wonder what Josh has told everyone about me.  It hurts knowing that someone who supposedly “loved” me can say mean things about to people.  All I know is he has some issues and until he gets them figured out no one will be around him for very long! 

That is all for this post but I am sure I will think of more to write later and I will just update it then
