Barlean’s Flax Oil Omega Swirl-Yummy Find!

If you are trying to get flax oil in your diet then you have to try Barlean’s Flax Oil Omega Swirl. They come in several yummy flavors and I just started using it in one of my frozen Strawberry smoothie recipes. So far I have tried the banana strawberry, which is delicious but you can get in other  flavors as well.

Flax oil is a good source of Omega 3 which is very important for cardiovascular health.  Barlean’s also offers which I am thinking of switching to since fish oil is supposed to be very beneficial in lowering high triglycerides (and I really want to get off my medication to lower triglycerides). Either way, it should help me get the much needed Omega 3′s into my diet.

Check the refrigerated section in your local health food store, or in the health food section of your grocery store. You can also find it on Amazon.  Below is a sampling of what they offer.

My Weight Loss Update
Like I mentioned in my previous post, What’s the Best Diet Plan we all have to find the diet plan that we can stick with. I am a big fan of Dr Oz and really want to stop obsessing over numbers on the scale. I figure if I eat healthy most of the time and pay attention to what I am eating then the weight loss will be a nice side affect. Of course, exercise is so important as well and I have been doing a lot of walking, including uphill, which really is hard for me but over time I know that I can build up the endurance to do it.

I haven’t been perfect these last few weeks. I have messed up more than once but I have gotten over my mentality of cheating on my diet then waiting until Monday to restart. When I mess up I have been trying to move more to compensate for it and of course, get right back with the program at my very next meal.
