Yay!! As a belated Mother’s Day gift, I just ordered a Weslo Elliptical Trainer. Actually, we were waiting for our stimulus check, and it came today, we were so excited! You know…just doing our part to boost the economy. LOL

Here’s the one that I purchased. I’ve read some good reviews, and of course there were a couple out there not so good, but more good than bad, so hopefully it will work out. I’ve got an extended warranty, so in case something happens to it, I’ll have that to fall back on. I just figured it would work better for me to do my workouts at home, rather than going to a gym. Just more convenient. If anyone has any feedback concerning this product, please feel free to leave it in the comments. I’d like to hear anything anyone has to say about it, good or bad.

Sheesh…my blogs have been down for over 3 days! And I apologize to those of you that are just dying to read about what’s been going in my life! Haha Thank goodness they are back up and running now! Let’s just say it was a monster server issue and leave it at that.

Anyway, it’s nice to be back. Hopefully, I’ll have plenty to post about!

My SIL sent me an email this morning. She had come across this great website that sells temporary tattoos you put on your child. It lists your phone number in case they get lost. They even have tattoos that alert someone caring for your child about your child’s medical condition or allergies, such as “Allergic to Nuts”, “I’m Autistic” or “I’m Diabetic”. Here’s some more info from the SafetyTat website:

It can happen anywhere—at an amusement park, zoo, school field trip, or even your local shopping mall. Your attention shifts for a moment, and suddenly your child or loved one has wandered out of sight.

So put the odds in your favor for a safe return, with SafetyTat. Designed by a Mom of three kids, SafetyTat is a fun and colorful kids temporary safety tattoo that’s uniquely personalized with your cell phone number. When applied to the arm of your child or loved one, SafetyTat provides an immediate, highly visible form of identification that stays in place even when wet and lasts for days.

SafetyTat—it’s the perfect way to show how much you care, just in case.

This is such a great idea! Being a parent of an autistic child, this would definitely help ease our fears, if heaven forbid, anything were to ever happen.

Many of us try to eat healthy, but we occasionally are so busy that we can’t help but stop by McDonald’s, Wendy’s or dozens of the other fast-food restaurants.

But you can squeeze fast-food offerings into your weight management plans as long as you keep in mind these keys: moderation, “occasional stops,” and wise choices.

Now, more than ever, fast-food restaurants are offering a wide variety of healthy options, from fruit cups to granola. Some restaurants, such as Wendy’s, are allowing you to substitute more nutritious side dishes in lieu of fries in their combo meals.

Here are six ways you can get healthier meals in a fast-food restaurant:

Keep portion sizes small. “Portion control” is one of the foundations of weight management. In a fast-food restaurant, pick the smallest sandwich or order a half-sandwich. Don’t order double- or even triple-decker burgers, which can pack more than 1,000 calories and as much as 70 grams of fat. Aim for 250- to 300-calorie regular or children’s-sized burgers.

Choose a healthier side dish. Skip the jumbo fries in favor of smaller fries and spare your waistline 300 calories. Better yet: in this age of healthy eating, fast-food restaurants are offering healthier options, such as salads, low-fat dressing, baked potatoes, fruit bowls, yogurt, and baked chips, just to name a few.

Go for the greens, like a large salad as your main course, complete with grilled chicken, shrimp or garden vegetables with fat-free or low-fat dressing. Regular salad dressing can bring you more than 300 calories. Skip such high-fat dangers as deep-fried shells, breaded chicken, any other fried topping, cheese, bacon bits, croutons and fried chips.

Go for the grilled food. Crispy chicken sandwiches and breaded fish fillets are high in fat and calories, but grilled or roasted lean turkey, chicken, ham or roast beef won’t murder your weight management plan.

Ask for healthier reduced-fat mayo, mustard and salsa instead of shredded cheese and cheese sauce. Condiments like special dressings, tarter sauce and sour cream will ruin your weight management with plenty of unneeded calories.

Watch what you drink. That 32-ounce soda contains about 400 calories, but healthier options include diet soda, water, unsweetened tea and bottled water. Of course, 1,000-calorie shakes and other drinks made from ice cream are out the drive-in window if you’re trying to manage your weight.
