Shaker to Go

I got a cool new glass shaker today in the mail and I am stoked! Not only is it a shaker but it is also sealed so I can throw it in my gym bag and not worry about it leaking. I am doing a Cinch Shake with a smoothie for breakfast. It is so yummy and filling. Tomorrow, I plan on doing a chocolate peanut butter one. Yum!

Well off to get my beauty sleep! Tomorrow is my first day using Vitalizer. I will let you know what I think!

Weekend Prep Day

I truly enjoyed this past weekend! I love 3 day weekends, you feel like you get so much accomplished.

 

On Saturday, we went to my friend Mary’s baby’s christening and I ate so much food! Her mom made homemade loompia and pancit, it was soooooo good!

I also made a homemade tres leches cake. I totally forgot to take a pic…boo.

Good news! I am officially now a Shaklee Distributor. Let me tell ya…this stuff is awesome!!! I have been trying to take off a glass stove top stain with everything (Ceramic cleaner, baking soda mixture, etc.) and nothing would work. I used the Shaklee Scour-Off and lemme tell ya it came off with not very much elbow grease!

I am getting closer to goal and have made every effort to continue to eat healthy. One way to do this is to make some food for the week on weekends. So, yesterday was Sunday Prep day. I made about 8 lbs of chicken and a 3 lbs of Sweet potato. This is one of the ways that I have been able to lose weight. Instead of getting overly process convenience foods, I am able to eat wholesome food.

Hope you all have a great short week!

 

1.4 lbs Away from Goal!

I hope everyone’s weekend has been great. I have been recovering from being sick and still feel a bit drained. I did some weights this weekend but not cardio…I don’t think my body could handle it right now.
I have been officially on my weightloss journey since last August I believe. A few things that I have stuck with is trying to each natural, organic food. I try to stay away from processed food most of the time. Once I reach goal, I will be posting some before and after photos and also some sample snacks, meals, and etc.
I was looking on the web today and found this interesting article by ironguru.com about Hippocrate’s 10 rules to live by.
1. THE NATURAL WAY IS THE ONLY WAY!
This should be an obvious medical pursuit, according to Mother Nature and Hippocrates.
2. TREAT THE CAUSE OF AN ILLNESS, NOT THE SYMPTOM!
Modern synthetic drugs just mask the illness, but never deal with the origin.
3. LOOK TO THE SPINE FOR ILLNESSES!
Hippocrates strongly suggested this which relates to modern day Chiropractic treatment.
4. THROW AWAY YOUR DRUGS AND HEAL THE PEOPLE WITH FOOD!
Food is medicine – medicine is food.
Hippocrates knew that food had health giving qualities – now known as Protein, Vitamins and Minerals.
5. MOST ILLNESS CAN BE PREVENTED BY EATING NATURAL FOODS!
The majority of foods Americans consume are processed, refined, overcooked, denuded, chemicalized, and grown in mineral depleted soil.
6. A HEALTHY COLON IS ESSENTIAL!
The U.S. Government reports that colon problems are dramatically increasing in America.
7. DO NOT ADMINISTER DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL DRUGS!
The F.D.A. Admits that prescription drugs kill 50,000 – 350,000 people a year in America.
8. DO NO HARM TO YOUR PATIENTS!
The New England Journal of Medicine reports that the end result of most drug therapy is harmful side effects.
9. DO NOT PERFORM SURGERY FOR MONEY!
The U.S. Government reports that 75% of all surgeries in this country are unnecessary.
10. THE WORD PROTEIN MEANS MOST IMPORTANT!
Hippocrates named Protein as the most essential food we should consume, as the greater percentage of our bodies are comprised of it. Carbohydrates are secondary.

He was definitely a genius and it is crazy that our modern medicine does not completely support these factors. Instead of being more preventive, it seems like we are more reactive in society today.

Couch Potato

Things have been quite boring over here. I find myself perusing the web because of it. I woke up with a really sore throat on Tuesday and things got worse from there. So, I finally saw the doc yesterday and it seems that I have the beginning of a sinus infection. I also have been feeling fatigued and achy, so I have been resting on the couch being a couch potato. I think Spunky feels my pain…

That is what she has been doing all day…lol.

My friend Megan and Trish were telling me about Kombucha and I looked into it and it has a bunch of good stuff! *See below link about Kombucha.

I decided since I was sick to try it. I am a fan! I was told to try the one that has a rainbow label. It tastes like lemonade…so good!

Well off to recover!
