Drink free booze, burn calories, AND play the slots??!

*I don't think the following applies to this woman.*

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO IN.

Just kidding. Maybe :)

"It was a big hit at the recent World Gaming Congress and Exposition in Las Vegas, proving that exercise can be done anytime, anywhere.

The ''Pedal 'N Play'' cycle and the ''Money Mill'' treadmill allow gamblers to work more than just their right arm.

See, these exercise machines are hooked up to slot machines. In fact, the machines are wired to make it impossible to play unless you’re pedaling or walking.

The Flamingo Hilton in Kansas City, Mo., is among the first to feature the exercise/gambling machines, while other hotels are making plans to add them to their spas or create specific exercise areas within their casinos.

Recognizing that motivation is the key to any successful exercise program, slot machines and exercise machines appear to be a perfect match.

In fact, this may just be the beginning. Perhaps the future will witness the creation of exercise-powered televisions and computers as well."

HA. Good idea with great intentions, maybe-but not too sure it will make a difference when alcohol and slots are involved....we'll see!

Almost Done!

With P90X+! I still have 3 weeks or so left, but I am ending week 9 in a couple days. The plus program has absolutely changed EVERYTHING about myself, that I thought couldn't change at all after P90X. I encourage anyone thinking about it, TO GET IT. (Only if you have graduated from P90X of course..but P90X is an AMAZING start nonetheless!).

Update: I have had no "nightcaps" in a week-and my sleep has improved drastically! It takes me a little longer to get to sleep, but I do get "deeper" and improved quality of sleep. I gotta say too...I don't really miss it. It was almost when I quit smoking (10 years ago)-Once I was over the initial "agony" (I use that term loosely!) of quitting, it was alot easier. Another plus-I researched what alcohol does to your body as soon you consume it. NOT GOOD. It leaves you puffy and bloated on top of all things, it can lead to major tummy fat. UHmm, NOT what I want! So every now and then-on date nights-and socially-it's 1 for me, and that's IT. Followed by 2 glasses of water! In 1 week I can notice more definition in my abs and I have more energy and less skin problems...more benefits to name a few. Not knocking anyone that has a "couple" every now and then, but this is what's good for me right now. And I love it! I've woken up at 6 am with every day this week-and not even tired AT ALL! Usually I'm groggy, and very crabby for at least an hour. Much better now for me..and my family! EXACTLY what I've been praying for. :)

In Him and Health!!

Accountability

What I want to say is this: Accountability is SO important. If you are secretly chowing down on food late at night, and wondering why you are not getting results..well, then maybe it would be a good idea to talk to someone about that. If you are skipping your workouts, and eating desserts left and right, have THAT person to talk to, to motivate you to NOT dwell on it, and make up for it the next day.

One thing I want YOU to keep me accountable on is my alcohol intake. Yes, I said it. I like to have a nightcap every night, and I would like to not have to do that anymore. So, I am going to go on a "no alcohol" fast starting tomorrow. I am not shy when it comes to drinking socially, I don't think there is anything wrong with it, even as a Christian, if you can control yourself, than have that glass of wine with dinner! Or even have a couple with a friend if you feel like it. I'm not judging anyone but myself! So I am going to just 'keep things in check' and make sure I'm not dependent on anything. So check up on me from now and then and ask me if I had something last night and yell at me if you want to. I can take it! :) Honestly, I think I will be fine with it, but like with other "diseases", you gotta catch these things early...not like I'm anywhere near that..but still, I want to have a fog-free mind so I can hear God when I need to and wake up with a fresh mind that allows me to serve Him and my family and friends. I feel like this is what I need to do. Thank you for being non-judgmental and being understanding.

In Him and Health-Demi
