Feeling a little larger than usual after last night's Victoria Secret Fashion show? You aren't alone. While we may never look like the superhuman string beans that walked the runway last night, now is as good of time as any to start making some healthy changes in our daily routine. Check out a couple of ways to get you thiiiis much closer to being your very own angel (rockstar boyfriend optional).Livestrong - This site (which also has a stellar iPhone/iPad app) is quickly becoming our favorite way to keep our appetites in check. Just enter your weight/height, level of daily activity and desired weight loss, and this site will give you the appropriate amount of calories to track against to reach your desired goal. Use Livestrong to keep tabs on your calories/workout routines and learn how long it actually takes to burn off that chocolate chip cookie you couldn't resist.
Protein Bar - This new addition to the Chicago fast-food dining scene is pretty much amazing. With four locations downtown (and more on the way) we turn to Protein Bar for their curated menu of healthy (almost everything on their menu is under 500 calories), yet flavorful choices. Props to their Banana Walnut Bowl (Warm organic quinoa with your choice of milk, mixed with organic agave nectar, walnuts, and fresh banana) and Vegetarian Chili for keeping us full morning and night.
Yoga Bootcamp - Starting Dec 4th, Core Power Yoga studios are offering their infamous Bootcamp sessions. For two weeks straight, get ready for intense training involving strength training, circuit training, yoga and plyometrics. Their custom blend of one-hour workouts 6 days per week are designed to increase your metabolism and change your fitness routine. Sure classes start at 7:15 every morning and cost $399 for the two-week session, but no one said looking good was easy or cheap.
