		<title>My Butt is Big aka &#8220;&#8230;Barbara por Atras&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in 2005  Nike ran an add &#8220;My Butt is Big&#8221; which I thought was very cool &#38; totally spoke to me,  especially since I always thought my butt was big. Truth be told it still speaks to me! Last year in August 2011 the same ad hit with a different &#8220;butt&#8221;  that of a full length beautiful athletic woman. Although Weiden &#38; Kennedy the Ad agency for Nike does not take credit for the new ad it has still brought much attention to Nike and the original&#8230;.Much buzz which brings interest with hope for sales &#38; ca&#8217;ching $$.  Got me to proudly where my Nike sneakers &#38; apparel Now for my question? Which do you prefer, the original or the doctored one? Either way its the message that I love, and that is all Nike&#8230;.so again, Thank you Nike.  More agencies/companies should take note because after all its about being healthy big butt or not 2005 Nike Ad~ &#160; 2011 Nike &#8220;doctored&#8221; Ad~ &#160; Besos y Abrazos&#8230;xoxo  &#8221; Barbara por Atras, Barbara por Adenlate, y SIEMPRE Barbara por Adentro!&#8221;]]></description>

		<title>Forever Young&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I want to be forever young&#8230;. This weekend I will be celebrating another birthday and so blessed to be doing so. Age&#8230;why are so many people afraid of aging? I so strongly believe it is only a number and for me turning 42&#8230; well I say bring it! I can honestly tell you I am in better shape and feel so much better in my own skin then when I was 24. I can also out run my 24 self!  I attribute the way I feel to many things. Experience, knowledge, all the wonderful things growing older gives us. However one big contributor is my health &#38; fitness level.  Yes, I am what I eat and the way I feel and look is due to that. You know I have said it before, now I will say it again. Food isn&#8217;t only fuel to keep us full &#38; our taste buds satisfied, it is also the foundation for EVERYTHING! The way we look, feel, think, act. It enables our moods, our health, our physical being, our pant size Age is only a number, however its up to YOU what you will do with that number! Forever Young&#8230;&#8230; Have a wonderful day! Make it great&#8230;.Mind, Body, &#38; Soul. Besos y Abrazos&#8230;xoxo  &#8221;&#8230;.Barbara por Atras, Barbara por Adelante, y Siempre Barbara por Adentro!&#8221; PS Happy Birthday to Me! xoxoxoxoxo&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;]]></description>

		<title>The New Year Plan!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yes it’s that time of year when we are ready to make those changes that have been haunting us all year. Its resolution time! The time of year when we have the ability to start over with a clean slate.  For me I feel as if we should always be practicing positive things in our lives and the New Year is just a way to have the good fortune of experiencing life and its wonders once again. However, I understand that many like to say, “This is it! I am going to do it this year!”   “It” being lose weight. Healthy living is a challenge to many, frankly to the majority. So for those of you who are looking to join me on the journey of living a healthier life this New Year, here are a few tips that have helped my clients and I achieve success! ~Make a REALISTIC plan! Baby steps…yes, slow and steady does win the race.  Don’t say you are going to hit the gym every day if you really cant. Besides, working out everyday isn’t good for your body. Aim at 3 days at first, and gradually work your way to 5. Allow yourself 2 days of recovery and then get back on your schedule.  If you can give it 30 minutes great! Remember even 10 minutes is better than no minutes. ~Set REALITIC goals! If you’ve never been a size 2 and always a 12 chances are you are not going to be.  Especially if you’re giving yourself 6 months &#8230; <a href="http://bandbfit.com/blog/2012/01/05/the-new-year-plan/">Read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>

		<title>&#8216;Tis the Season to Stay Warm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m cold  so something nice and warm is calling my name. I think a nice healthy hot home cooked oatmeal, NOT instant baggy style,  is the right breakfast choice for today, sprinkled with a little cinnamon. Yummy! Oatmeal is so good for you loaded with dietary fiber and a great source of good carbs. Starting your day with a healthy breakfast such as this one will put you on the right path for the rest of your day. Add a nice small side of berries and you are set with the necessary antioxidants to fight off the colds this season brings. Yes, V already has the sniffles so she is loading up on blueberries today! My body calls for warm dishes this time of year and soups are my fav. Today I&#8217;m sharing a Butternut Squash recipe I love courtesy of Whole Foods Market. Staying true to myself and my playing with recipes there are times I&#8217;ve enhanced this recipe to give the soup a nice yummy metabolism kick. Simply  add 2tsp chopped fresh ginger &#38; 1 tbsp red curry paste into the carrot, celery, and onion mix! Either way it is absolutely delicioso! Classic Butternut Squash Soup 2 tbsp EVOO 2/3 cup diced carrot 1/2 cup diced celery 2/3 cup diced onion 4 cups cubed butternut squash 1/2 tsp chopped fresh thyme 4 to 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth Sea Salt &#38; ground pepper to taste Heat EVOO in a large soup pot add carrot, celery, &#38; onion. Cook until veggies have begun to soften and onion turns &#8230; <a href="http://bandbfit.com/blog/2011/12/09/tis-to-season-to-stay-warm/">Read more <span class="meta-nav">&#187;</span></a>]]></description>
