Welcome Readers Of The San Antonio Express-News!
I’d like to welcome those of you who have come from The San Antonio Express-News . Claudia Zapata wrote an article about personal finance bloggers who also blog about their weight loss, and my sites were included in the article! Claudio mentioned two of my sites, No Credit Needed and No. Calories Needed. Thanks, Claudia!
I began this site in December of 2006. My goal? To lose weight and be healthy! I must admit, getting rid of debt was MUCH easier than getting rid of the weight.
I also have two other sites. Please consider visiting the No Credit Needed Network and the No Credit Needed Podcast.
Thanks for stopping by. Click here to contact me with any questions. Or, you can simply leave a comment on any post.

Damage Control
I’m back home after a week of vacation…
Let’s just say that my eating habits, of late, have been less than “healthy”. But, I cannot afford to focus on the past, I must press towards the future. I’ve stocked up on healthy foods: fresh fruits, vegetables, lean meat, etc. Breakfast this morning will be oatmeal and a few grapes. For lunch, a little grilled chicken, zucchini, and some green beans. Supper, some more grilled chicken, an apple, some corn and brown rice. Goal: Less than 1800 calories.
By the way, the No Credit Needed Podcast is hosting this week’s Carnival of Debt Reduction. Check it out.
The Secret To More Energy Is…
So, what do you do when you are tired? Well, for years, I’d take a nap, wake up, and realize that I was just as tired AFTER the nap as I was BEFORE the nap. I’ve learned that the cure for the afternoon “blahs” is to get up, get out, and get moving. (Man, I sound like one of those cheesy late-night weight loss infomercials!) But, the truth is, if you can dig deep and find the resolve to take a walk, do a few jumping jacks, swim a few laps, or take a quick bike ride, your body will “wake itself up” and you’ll feel great. Seriously, I’ve been surprised by the impact of a simple, brisk walk. I feel better, I burn a few extra calories, and I reduce my stress.
Energy boosters include:
20 minute walk
3 sets 20 jumping jacks
15 minute bike ride
10 minutes of full body stretching
Do you have any ideas? Leave a comment and let me know… What do you do when you need an afternoon energy boost?
