I am on a mission to share helpful information, to encourage women's fitness, nutrition and wellness to live a quality filled active lifestyle.

This time of year stirs up many emotions, for most people it is a time of joy, family and friends with lots of get together's of celebrating.

I encourage you to take the time to share a smile and reach out to someone that you may know that struggles with this time of year. Be the struggle a loss of a loved one, financial or personal emotional struggles, like depression ( a very real struggle for some).

As you go about with all of the hustle and bustle of this festive time of year, make some time for those who experience sadness. I quick visit or phone call can do so much to lift a person's spirits. You have it in you to share the love

Feeling anxious? Try to drink three cups of chamomile tea a day when you're feeling anxious.

Why??? Chamomile contains two chemicals that promote relaxation, apigenin and luteolin. A study at the University of Pennsylvania Medical Center found that patients with generalized anxiety disorder who took chamomile supplements for eight weeks had a significant decrease in anxiety symptoms compared to patients who were given a placebo.

I'm taking my own tip and going with it, treating myself to a delicious cup of chamomile tea served in a pretty teacup and saucer. I am worth it, and so are you!

Are you a broccoli lover like me?

Best thing to do to avoid clearing a room after eating broccoli is to steam at first. Steaming keeps most of the nutrients still bio-available but also breaks down the tough fiber… making it easier to digest and therefore creating less gas!

Many people think that WHAT you eat is the main problem of your diet, but it's also WHEN you eat that can be a problem too.

Intermittent fasting is not a diet; it’s a pattern of eating. It’s a way of scheduling your meals so that your body gets the most out of the them.

Studies have shown that by limiting the time of your food intake, it may reduce the risk of many common diseases (Type II Diabetes being a big one).

Fasting may also help increase the body’s responsiveness to insulin, which helps to control feelings of hunger and food cravings.

Can I get an Amen!

Think of it this way, we were designed, given specific hormones to do so, to complete this cycle daily: Eat, Digest, Get Hungry, Eat, Digest, Get Hungry etc...

When you eat every 2-3 hours for 16 hours a day, you truly are not completely digesting your previous meal and getting hungry; it's habit telling you that you're hungry...not true hunger. This keeps insulin production up, insulin resistance high, fat storage increased yada, yada, yada...I know you know the rest!

Remember when you're Mom told you no snacks before dinner...she was on to something!

Monday morning is here!

The restoration company is starting to rip out the main bathroom floor this morning, and remove the dehumidifiers from the house, so no more living in a wind tunnel. I do look forward to the end results and pray there will be no unforeseen hitches to the process.

This has been a challenge for my anxiety to say the least. I have been practicing my breathing techniques, doing lots of pacing back and forth. Keeping my hands busy with knitting and crochet projects to take my mind off of the what the restoration company needs to do.

When life throws you a lemon sometimes it is still attached to the tree LOL

May this image bring a smile and chuckle to your day as it did mine . . . laughter really is GOOD medicine! ;)

When we finally accept that whole food, as nature intended and not a "healthier" version of a bad food, "Sugar Free Oreos, Reduced Fat Ruffles and Low Sodium Lunch Meat", is what nourishes your body . . . the less time and money we'll spend at the pharmacy!

Take time to remember what those who have gone before us, our veterans, have selflessly done for our freedom.

Thank you! I am forever grateful

Yesterday I took a huge leap out of my comfort zone .

To some this may not appear to be a big deal, but let me assure you for me this was HUGE! I have mentioned before that I have an Anxiety Disorder; well it was time for me to over come another fear, this one involving getting set up for online banking.

I kid you not, that was a fear. To see it typed our seems quite silly but then again when you talk about fears, anxiety and such unless you have lived it, yes they do appear silly . . . but oh so real!

I have always done my banking via a teller, an authentic person, but recently I have come to see that having the privilege to do e-transfers would make life easier and save on gas as well as time. After much thought and asking for peoples input I took that first step yesterday.

Did I shed a tear in the bank? yes I did!
I also explained to the kind bank lady dealing with me about my anxiety, if I have a panic attack it is not on them, I will be okay and just need to talk myself thru it. She kindly passed me the box of tissues, was patient while I talked myself thru the process and an hour and a half later I am now set to go!

I encourage you . . . take one fear that is holding you back from making your life a little easier, face it with baby steps, one step at a time . . . you will surprise yourself as you will be victorious!

Take a moment today to be good and kind to yourself.

You are worth it!

If you do not look after your own well being, who is going to do it for you?!?
