SOO TRUE!

had to borrow this quote...

"Surround yourself with high-energy people.
Choose to be in close proximity to people who are empowering, who appeal to your sense of connection to intention, who see the greatness in you, who feel connected to God, and who live a life that gives evidence that Spirit has found celebration through them." - Dr. Wayne Dyer

If At 1st You Don't Succeed...

so let's face it, we all "fall off the wagon"... whether it's the darn Halloween candy, or a dinner out, or just something tempting sitting in the fridge... sometimes we fall.  NO WORRIES! 

Don't call it quits, never to eat another healthy thing again! 

With each sunrise, there is a new opportunity. In fact, with each breath, there is a re-newed sense of self.  Let go of your "mistakes" let go of the past, and learn to enjoy this moment right now! Make a better choice in THIS MOMENT.  If the "falling off the wagon" is happening ALL THE TIME... then we should talk. Let's take a closer look at what's going on. 

Let me know how you're doing this week so far.  I was happy to fit in some yoga this morning. Yoga creates better balance in my body, mind, and spirit!

GO GREEN!

How colorful is your plate of food?  If you're eating a plate of "beige" foods, go for the color!  Add lots of dark greens, oranges, reds, yellow, purple, etc.  Tell me the most colorful meal you ate today! Mine was a drink!  Yep, Matt juiced some kale, carrots, and apples!  Post here!

learn more!

Hopefully this 8 week program will inspire you to LEARN MORE! To read labels, to research, investigate, and to literally become your own doctor!  Here are some great movies that you might want to watch! FOOD, INC., SuperSize Me!, and FoodMatters.  All very informative!

Status Update!!

Hey Everyone! If you're on the blog, post an update here to let me know how you're doing!

It's Wednesday & I'm starting my morning with some oatmeal (NO WAY the sugary packet).. just old skool oats & added some raw almond slivers & dried wild blueberries.  Delicious!  Adding some running & weights into my own program today.  What kind of exercise have you participated in lately??

Read the Labels!

Does your bread have high fructose corn syrup in it?? YIKES!  How about your cereal, snack bars, kids snacks, etc... it's worth it to read the labels to avoid ingredients like HFCS. High fructose corn syrup is a contributing factor in obesity, high blood pressure, heart disease, and it FEEDS cancer cells (they literally eat &  grow on HFCS). It's worth avoiding! Good luck!

WEEK 2

Welcome to Week 2!  Hopefully you've received your Week 2 email from me & are already filling it out!  I'm snacking on some homemade applesauce (no sugar, just apples & cinnamon!) & it's delicious!  This week, focus on eating some of the great veggies that are in season! Acorn squash, butternut squash, pumpkin, carrots, sweet potatoes, apples. Enjoy! 
Let me know what's new & good! :)
