Reader Laura writes in about AOL’s Beach-Ready Boot Camp. I’d never heard of it before – - have you?

You can log on and find a collection of online streaming workout videos from top fitness trainers. For example, former professional boxer Michael Olajide, Jr. teaches boxing moves and jump rope routines to give you a sleek physique for the beach. More fitness gurus will be joining the line-up every week through the beginning of June.

Also, in addition to the streaming video, visitors can also download free audio workout routines to use at the gym or wherever they go. All for free from AOL.com – whether you are a subscriber or not.

I’m going to have a look around and see if I find anything of interest or something helpful.

Hey – any help I can get, right??

I spent some time this morning talking myself out of the fact that a Rice Krispies Treat would be really good for me, for breakfast. At only 100 calories! (ignoring the carbs and sugar) – it’s cereal, right??? And rice — rice is good!!

*drool*

/sigh – - I ended up forgetting the krispy treat and opted for and egg white omlete and half a grapefruit instead.. but am still dreaming of Rice Krispies and marshmallows!

This blog was declined at Blog Explosion because: “we are no longer accepting blogs that primarily contain advertising, or promote business opportunities.”. Ok. I have ads up on my site, it’s true – but primarily ads? I have personally written archives dating back to December, so far – which is my own little diary of my progress with weight loss and my exercise programs.. and the share of recipes that I’ve cooked and tried out on my poor family.

But! “Tis ok – Blog Clicker has always given me better returns with other sites I own, so I won’t cry a river. I’ll meet my 20lb weight loss goal even without visits from Blog Explosions members
