People are rude

    This morning I decided to look around the internet for some good weight loss tricks. Eating healthy all the time is hard to do and not much fun if i do say myself. So I was looking for some quick tricks as they call them, Some foods that would raise my metabolism or an exersise that would burn more calories in the same amount of time as my usual work out. I think this is what everyone is looking for in todays times something quick lol.
    So as I surfed the web for somekinda help I started going into a couple fourms to see if they held the key to quick tricks, I was very dissapointed in what I read. The fourms I choose where ones where health pros go to give you advice on weight loss. Rudest people ever!!! People were asking questions that I think any of us would ask such as " I am about 50 pounds over weight I do x amount of exersise and I eat x amount of calories but I seem to be losing wight im would like to lose x amount of pounds in x amount of days please help" The answers were abosulotly horriable telling the asker to stop dreaming they cant lose that weight and if they do its just water weight, that they will still be fat it just wont show on the scale. It was completly horrifing to read! The fact that people have taken the first step to wanting to lose the weight should be a positive experience! These people are making them feel low!
    If you are out there and you want to lose weight heres what I have to say. Good for you for taking the first step in just wanting to do it wether you lose it quick or slow congrats!! The more you exersise the more you lose! DONT STARV YOUR SELF!!!! If you starv your self then what you do eat your body will turn to fat incase you starve your self again its like a defence for your body. Dont cut everything from your diet like they say to cause then you wont stick with it!!! If you drink 6 glasses of pop a day replace 5 with water but still have one glass so that you dont feel as if life isnt enjoyable if you eat at fast food places every day pack a lunch instead for 6 days and save that one day to treat your self. I know that most weight loss people that would read this proubly want to hurt me but we are not super stars we are not trying to win the strong man compition we want to lose weight to help our own self esteme not to go in beauty pagents. If you feel like your life is strict you will cheat and if you cheat you will feel bad about it and if you feel bad about it you will cheat again to make your self feel better so just cut it in half I lost 40 pounds in 3 months and kept it off I will tell you how.
   Befor I decided to lose the weight I never exersised, EVER! So I started walking if I needed to go somewhere that was closer then 4 blocks I walked, I started taking a walk everynight for 30 mins it wasnt a brisk walk or even a fast walk just a nice relaxed walk. I drank about 2 L of pop a day so instead I started drinking a half a glass a day and drinking water for the rest of the day exsept for my coffee in the morning that did include a teaspoon of sugar and milk. I dont like just water so i would put a slice of lemon in my water which made it more enjoyable. I would make what ever I normaly ate but I would only eat just over half of what I normaly ate then I cut it down to under half of what I normaly ate when I was comftorable. Most of us gain weight because we over eat and who would blame us food taste good! So if you just start cutting food out and eating less your always going to be hungry you have to cut it out slowly give your stomach time to shrink then when you start feeling full when you eat cut a little more out and just keep doing that untill your eating a healthy amount its amazing what really is a healthy amount, where most of us would imagine dinner as lets say a full chicken breast a good scoop of  noodles some garlic toast some sauce on thoes noodles a scoop of veggis really you should only be eating a half a chicken breast and at most a wine glass full of noodles and a half a piece of garlic toast..... when you think of this you think wow who could live off that but thats all we need. So dont cut it down to that right off just get there slowly by cutting a little more out each week. And remember WATER!!! LOTS OF WATER as well have you been neglecting your bbq did you know thats the best way to cook your food the fat falls out of your food and burns away when you bbq no grease!!!! So go crazy with the BBQ you can lose weight with out feeling like your life is a strict schedual no one wants to tell there friends they cant go out for lunch cause there on a diet so dont just dont order as much or dont eat it all and try to keep it to once a week!!! Good luck cause you can do it!!! Just make your self happy well your losing weight and remember laughing burns calories!!!!

Sometimes The days are long

Have you ever noticed how long the days tend to be when your a stay at home mom??? I wake up and clean and play then its nap time....More cleaning more cleaning auuuggghhhh sometimes it feels like the day wont end and then when it does....tomorrow...

My boyfriend once told me that he didnt feel that being mom was a REAL job lol that my life wasnt hard I just sit around and play with the kid lol. My responce to my lovely silly silly man, Who is a roofer by the way, with out that tid bit it really wouldnt make sence, hahaha.

Every time you start a job on a roof you go and you rip off half the roof you lay down you paper and then you shingle, You clean up the job site and come home knowing tomorrow you will go back and do the same to the other side and then your all done. Except tomorrow you go and some one has ripped off all your new shingles and put the old ones back up!!! so know you have to do it all over again! The end of the day comes you clean up and come home thinking that was exsausting having to re-do something I already did but at least tomorrow I only have to finish the other half then im done. Tomorrow you wake up your in a good mood you drive to work and..... again someone has ripped off your new shingles and put up the old ones and left the new ones scattered everywhere. Know imagine this aggravation for the rest of your life. LMAO!

I remember what my life used to be and what it is now its weird to think that was so long ago going out to partys getting ready with my friends and all that jazz. I wouldnt trade my life for anything but it would be nice to just have one day to do it again!

So how do you deal with your days? I still havent got my way to escape. Still trying though. lol

     Well hummm.... What to say, I guess ill start with the most obvious of questions...Who am I. I am a 25 year old female, mother of one. We just recently moved to Calgary, since our move I have been complaining more and more to the man of the house that I have no one to talk to. He replied with...Get a blog. lol so here I am. I choose the name Ketchup mommy not because I use ketchup in everything lol I choose it because thats all I seem to think anymore. Im so behind and I need to catch up!! So its a cute twist. Ive lived an intresting life so far, as a youth I had more then my fair share of rebelion and as an adult ive had more then my fair share of hard times and responsability. So know for the big question what do I want to dedicate my blog to???? Sharing my colorful past? Sharing my future as it comes? Tips and Tricks ive learned or am learning along the way?? hummm so many questions no real solid answers. I think im just going to type. Its simple and thats what I need one thing thats just simple lol.

I have a wonderful man who is like anyother man... he can be difficult amoungst other things but I love him none the less. I have a wonderful mother who has always supported me in everything I do, dont get me wrong she tells me its the wrong thing to do hahaha but shes their when I realise she was right lol with out saying I told you so. I also have a wonderful step father who is hard headed just like me makes it makes it hard to get along some times I mean we cant both be right, but none the less their is a lot of love. My father is a charcter to say the least, We get along most of the time and hes always there when I need him unfortunatly because of a drinking proublem it makes it difficult to be closer but still there is love.

    I have a wonderful colorful brother who can do no wrong in my eyes. Full of life and love he is truly a wonderful person. As well I have a half sister who unfortunatly I do not know very well yet but were working on it. So thats my family! Im sure you will here more about them in the future.

     So heres my day we moved into a fourplex just of 17th ave on the SE of calgary, who ever lived here befor decided that the house didnt have enough color so they painted.....lime green in the livingroom and hallway bright blue in the kitchen orange/brown threw out the pourch and down stairs green and yellow in the master and I hate it lol. paint all over the celing aughhhh its not good, unfortunatly the landlord paid them to do it and so will not pay for new paint.... I can not decided if we will live in this house long enough to take my time energy and money to fix this rainbow throw up. What would you do? with spekel celings that are yellow from smoke I would have to strip and paint them to get the color off.... I just dont know. It would cost at least 100 dollars in paint anouther 50 in supplies and countless hours of work plus babysitting costs so I can do it.... To live with it or not to live with it for that is the question...
