The Clouds Have Parted

Oh my goodness gracious to pieces Betsy. Today is a cause for celebration, I feel like a human again! No coughing, nose is only moderately stuffy, ears have popped, and my energy is back. After seven weeks of feeling like crap, I can now say with confidence that I’m back.

I would like to thank the following for my feel goodness:

Neti Pot. Gross,kinda, yes. Awesome and pain-free? yes indeed.

Natalia Rose and her morning elixers of organic fruit and vegetables. I’m on day three of eating more fruits and vegetables, no sugar, no white flours, no beef/chicken. And I feel really good.

Our new Juiceman juicer that helps turn celery, carrots, kale, lemons, strawberries and apples into one delicious juice.


The Mill Mountain Zoo which provided a much needed walk outdoors.

I look forward to returning to my regular daily blog posts! No more “I’m sick, I suck” posts. At least until next year

Spring into Fitness Week – Day 2

Fruit and Vegetables

Fruit and Vegetables

Well today I want to write about eating again. I know that I seem to always be talking about eating and exercise and today is the eating portion.

Drinking Water – While you are getting ready for Spring and Summer and the outdoor weather you have to remember that often the humidity is lower outside and you may need to increase your water intake. Do you already drink a lot of water? I find that it makes a huge difference in my energy when I am drinking a lot all day long.

Berries and fruit are popping up as well. We have been eating a lot of variety of berries all Winter but they are so expensive that I know lots of people are missing out. Getting the fruits and veggies that you need will give you the energy you need and gives you lots of extra water and nutrients, and antioxidants.

White Carbs – If you are looking to lose some weight (many people are), then one of the easiest ways for most people is just to cut down on the white carbs. White carbs to me are things like rice, potatoes and breads. I am not saying to get rid of it all but instead just cut back and see how it feels. Lots of people that try this are shocked at the increase in energy and weight loss at the same time and if you have any kind of gluten allergies that you don’t know about…well this would be great.

Finally crack out the barbeque. Mine has been frozen most of the Winter but eating some nice lean barbequed meat is great, increases your iron levels, helps your muscles heal and gets you outside into the sunshine.

Well hopefully these few tips help you out this week. Try and see how you can integrate them into your current lifestyle. Remember that it is the small changes made today that make for the big changes later.
