run-faster-eat-better: healthy-sexy-happy: skinny-flower: mywaist: Craving ice cream? Try this instead: Freeze some of your favorite fruits over night (I used and assortment of berries and a banana.) Then, toss them all in the blender the next day and add just a little bit of skim milk (almond or soy milk works too) and blend it until it has a thick consistency. Add the milk a little at a time. A splash here, then blend. A little more, blend again. It’s sort of like a chunky smoothie you eat with a spoon. I just made some today and it really does satisfy for very few calories (just don’t add too much milk.) (via imgTumble) Yum! I’m going to try this, but with almond milk instead :) My body is seriously craving fruit and it’s killing me that I can’t have this right now rofl

Hi there, before you ask away, just a few quick things.
If you ask me for advice and you're on your account, sometimes I'll publish your question if I think what I answered will help others.
Of course, if you'd rather have me answer it privately, just say so at the end of your question :)
And to anyone who's asking anonymously but you still want to keep track of the question, just give me a random (somewhat unique though) word and and I'll tag it as that, and you can search tumblr for the tag.
Thanks guys! :)

Watermelon Tart! (tutorial)

Look at it closely! It looks like some kind of cake or tart right? but it’s not. It’s actually a watermelon cut into the shape of a cake with yogurt, strawberries, blueberries and nuts on top!

leanmeanworkoutmachine: Pilates “Swimming” Why It’s Good:A strong spine is not only sexy (goodbye, bra and back fat!), it’s also essential for good posture so we don’t “shrink” as we age. This “swimming” move from Pilates strengthens back and butt muscles, the backs of the arms and legs, and stretches the shoulders, chest, and abs. A strong lower back protects you from injury when you’re moving a heavy laundry basket and picking up loads of groceries. Bonus: It’ll perk up your tush because it works the tops of the thighs and the butt muscles. Do this 3 times a week on nonconsecutive days. Get Started: (image A)1) Lie on your stomach with your arms extended in front of you. Legs are straight and squeezed together. Squeeze your butt and abs and imagine you’re drawing everything into your belly button. 2) Keeping your legs on the floor, lift your upper chest and flutter your arms up and down like you’re swimming. Do this for 10 breaths and bring your head and arms back down to the floor. Make It Harder:Lying on your stomach, keep your arms and head down. You can use your hands as a resting spot for your forehead. Lift your legs and kick them up and down without touching the ground. Do this for 10 breaths. Try the Challenge: (image B)1) Lying on your stomach, this time lift your arms and legs simultaneously and alternately kick the legs and arms like you’re swimming. 2) Continue until you’ve inhaled and exhaled for 5 seconds, then release. Do 3 sets. Eventually work your way up to minute.
