			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://positiveatmosphere.com/"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2238" title="think, do, be positive" src="http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/think-do-be-positive-300x204.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="204" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Positive Atmosphere</strong>, Every now and then, I will get an email or a facebook message from someone new who just happens to let me know that they have been following me online and that I inspired them! Its a good feeling! This morning I came across a quote on facebook that really made me stop and read a few times *If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more and become more, you are a leader* WOW, that is probably the best quote that I have ever read!</p>
<p>I really do try to make sure my actions are very positive, its not always easy, some days I just feel like &#8220;Why do I even bother?&#8221; but then someone always comes along and reminds me of my &#8220;Whys&#8221; <img src='http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Being positive is a daily struggle in a very negative world so we really need to work at it every day and build a strong support system that helps keep us on our toes! I currently found some new ways of doing this that im checking out so thought id share!</p>
<p>I was on facebook just yesterday and came across a post by &#8220;Brian Tracy&#8221; one of my favorite mentors who always talks about how important it is to be positive and how the &#8220;law of attraction&#8221; can work for us or against us by our thoughts, well, he posted about a &#8220;Positive affirmation challenge&#8221; which he has 30 days of affirmations listed and we just simply each day repeat that days affirmation to our self as often as we can. Today&#8217;s affirmation is &#8220;I love myself&#8221; so I have been saying that repeatedly all day today! You can read about it <a title="Brian Tracy 30 day positive affirmation challenge" href="http://www.briantracy.com/blog/personal-success/repeat-positive-affirmations-for-a-healthy-happy-life-infographic-stay-positive-thoughts?cmpid=2183&amp;proid=2348" target="_blank">HERE</a>  if you would like!  I am pretty excited about this 30 day challenge and looking forward to tomorrows affirmation already!</p>
<p>I also found a website on facebook that actually brings a group of people together who want to be more positive and looking for some inspiration! I am still learning how it all works and stuff but feel pretty good about it already and I am looking forward to meeting more like minded people on this site! Its called &#8220;Positive Atmosphere&#8221;  and you can check it out and join <a title="Positive Atmosphere inspiring and empowering positive people" href="http://positiveatmosphere.com/" target="_blank"> HERE</a></p>
<p>So this is my way of making some <strong>Positive Atmosphere</strong></p>

<p>I did <strong>Turbo Jam Cardio Party 2 </strong>this morning! This workout is from Chalene Johnsons &#8220;Fat Burning Elite Series&#8221; This particular workout is so cool, the music is great and very inspiring as well as motivating and you can also adjust to any and all fitness levels and tastes! She shows you how to kick it up a notch to make it totally fit for the die hard athletic type and she also shows you how to keep it a little bit more low key and dancey type! This is one of my favorites because I feel like I&#8217;m just simply dancing for 45 minutes and it is just so much fun! She also has you working your abs the entire time and with all speed bags, jabs and punches, this workout will tone those arms without you even realizing it! She also has light weighted gloves that can be worn during the workout for some extra toning and more cal burning but even with out the gloves, you will still get nice toned arms!</p>
<p>I have been using <strong>Turbo Jam Cardio Party 2</strong> as well as the other Elite workouts for about two weeks now and I am already noticing that my yoga pants hang down lower to the floor and my t-shirts are also longer! Which means my abs are getting smaller and my butt! <img src='http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here are my fitbit stats from my <strong>Turbo Jam Cardio Part 2</strong> workout</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/cardio-party-2-fitbit-stats.bmp"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-2222" title="cardio party 2 fitbit stats" src="http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/cardio-party-2-fitbit-stats.bmp" alt="" width="432" height="194" /></a></p>

<p>I have been eying this <strong>Auntie Anne&#8217;s Home Backing Kit</strong> for a about two months now every time I would pass it in the grocery store! Then one day I got the bright Idea to make pizza with it! I know its not exactly healthy but I thought it would be fun as a cheat meal to make what I call a &#8220;Pretzel Dough Pizza&#8221; I made two thin crust pizzas last night, one pepperoni and the other cheese with onion slices under the cheese! The dough was surprisingly very easy to make and stretch across the pizza pans, took about 20 minutes to bake in the oven at 400 degrees and the edges of the crust got crunchy and tasted just like hard pretzels! VERY GOOD! And the left overs today were also very good! Id highly recommend this for a fun cheat meal and it would also be an incredible project to do with kids! There is prob not much you can do to make the dough any healthier but you could load it up with fresh veggies and even skip on the cheese! Very creative possibilities with the <strong>Auntie Anne&#8217;s home baking kit</strong>! I took some pics of my progress with the pizza making process. Hover over each pic for the description! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I am still using my <strong>*FITBIT*</strong> and also still discovering new things with the website and also the iPhone app! Really cool things! I have noticed on fitbit.com we can message our buddies on there and can also cheer them on or taunt them for fun! I have really gotten into the &#8220;ranking&#8221; feature! The website will display how you rank for the past 7 days with all your buddies! That really helps to encourage me to get more active thru the day as I don&#8217;t want to rank to low! I suppose I am sort of competitive that way lol Right now I am ranking number 3 among all my <strong>fitbit </strong>friends <img src='http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  I am pretty proud of that because not so long ago I was barely active at all!</p>
<p>Also the iPhone app is totally cool for helping to keep me motivated because it sends me updates as im progressing with activity thru the day! here are some screen shots I took a few days ago and sorry, I didn&#8217;t take them all in one day because sometimes I forget to take the screen shot before I unlock the screen and it disappears LOL! I get these updates randomly as my days goes by and it is really motivating to me to keep moving! </p>
<p>If your interested in getting your own fitbit, just click on any of the fitbit banners on this website! </p>

<p>Turbo Jam Fat Burn Elite , so I am wondering if anyone out there is still doing &#8220;Turbo Jam&#8221;?  I actually took the time and tried to figure out the message boards on Team Beachbody and I could not find anyone talking about Turbo Jam! Seems Turbofire is where its at still!  Well, I am just totally into &#8220;Turbo Jam&#8221; right now and actually more so then when I did my first and only 90 days back in Jan 09!  I have also invested into some of the Turbo Jam upgrades and so I now have Turbo Jam Fat Burn Elite and Get On The Ball!  I have done a few of my new workouts already and I can totally see that &#8220;TurboFire&#8221; was in the works there! <img src='http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  I really wished I had gotten more into these workouts back then but hey, we all do what is right for us when its the perfect time! Soooooo I am planning on totally firing it up with Turbo Jam until I am ready to start &#8220;Les Mills Combat&#8221;!  It would be nice to find a few others who are still in love with Turbo Jam as I know your out there! Its been interesting when I log my Turbo Jam into the online super gym and most ppl are doing Body Beast!! That workout is really poppen right now! Thats ok! I am proud to be the little Turbo Jammer in there with all the big body builders! <img src='http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Ok so let me learn these moves a little bit and more videos to come! </p>

<p>Turbo Jam *Punch Kick and Jam*!  I started my Beachbody journey back in Jan 2009 with *Turbo Jam*  and recently decided to take it off the shelf and blow the dust off of it and popped in the *Punch Kick and Jam* one! I am embarrassed to admit that back in 2009 I never did this particular workout from Turbo Jam because I figured it would be to hard and maybe it would have been too hard for me back then but now that I have actually completed a few rounds of &#8220;Turbofire&#8221; I actually enjoyed Punch Kick and Jam and in fact, its actually very addicting! below are some sample videos I took of myself doing parts of the dvd!<br />
<a href="http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/PA300037.jpg"><img src="http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/PA300037-300x225.jpg" alt="" title="OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA" width="300" height="225" class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2182" /></a> I am also on day 66 of Les Mills Pump / Brazil Butt Lift hybrid which today was Les Mills &#8220;Flow&#8221; and Flow was much needed after all those cardio workouts I put in!  I am really happy with my results so far despite my tendency to eat to much on most days! lol This pic was taken when I came home from a Halloween party! The dress fit me perfectly! Anyway, here are the videos I made for the &#8220;Punch Kick and Jam&#8221; workout if you would like to check it out! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p>I  got two samples of &#8220;Emergen-C in the mail&#8221;, I got orange flavor and berry flavor!  I mixed each packet into 4 oz of cold water and it actually tasted really good and I really loved how it was &#8220;fizzy&#8221; kinda made me think of alka seltzer, even tho I have never really used alka seltzer but for some reason that came to mind! I didn&#8217;t feel any different after drinking it but I may use my dollar off coupon that came with the samples and get a pack of Emergen-C and use it for several days in a row and see if maybe I do feel any different! Says it has 1000 mg of vitamin C in each serving! Do we really need that much vitamin C??? I really don&#8217;t know? I always thought we needed a ton of vitamin B to increase energy and stuff! One good thing about this drink is that it has NO CAFFEINE in it! Most other drinks I have seen at the grocery store that claim to increase energy have way to much caffeine for me and I totally feel like a 10 year old kid for maybe a half hour and then crash completely and feel crappy the entire rest of the day so I of course did not experience that with Emergen-C but I also did not experience any increase in energy either but I am not giving up on it yet! Let me get a pack of them and put it to the test!  Will report back later! <a href="http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Vitamin-C.jpeg"><img src="http://www.christinamsears.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/Vitamin-C.jpeg" alt="" title="Vitamin C" width="220" height="229" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2174" /></a> </p>
