Losing Weight and Feeling Great!

2

Just over a month ago I may well have hit a new low in terms of ignoring my own advice. I was eating without mindfulness and gaining weight. Worse still, my energy levels were non-existant and even a minor task felt like I had a mountain to climb. My stomach was bloated, my chin had become plural, and my boobs were actually busting Continue reading the story "Losing Weight and Feeling Great!"

Summer Smoothies

11

I am a Smoothie fan. I like to create my own versions and discover new and interesting tastes. Not everything works out, especially as I am not good at following measuring rules, but sometimes I hit the jackpot! My shining glory this morning was a recipe inspired by recent posts on other blogs to do with Kale. I am not a Continue reading the story "Summer Smoothies"

Belly Fat Foods - Fruits As I continue to try to zap my belly fat, I am working on creating a healthy daily menu plan. I am not good at piecing a whole week together and then sticking to it, so I'd rather share ideas as I actually use them myself.

Zapping My Belly Fat

4

Belly fat is not pretty! As I get older, I notice I gain weight much more quickly around my mid-section than before. This is inconvenient: my closet does not have elastic waistlines and I am NOT going to buy more clothes to accommodate the bulge. Worse still, belly fat is a Continue reading the story "Zapping My Belly Fat"

Physical Wellbeing

It had been almost a year since I began the first incarnation of this blog. It started out as a fitness journal; a way for me to track my stats, eating and exercise. It has morphed into so much more, but I have decided to use this month, given Continue reading the story "Physical Wellbeing"

Before the cold weather leaves us, I wanted to share my recipe for chicken soup. As with most of my recipes, I make most of it up as I go, depending on the ingredients I have in the fridge. This combination has proven to be extremely popular...I have been asked to share with friends and Continue reading the story "Delicious Dish Tuesday: Chicken Soup"

The Vitamin Debate

10

In an ideal world, our children would be getting their vitamins directly from the diet they eat. It is possible to provide a balanced diet so rich in essential vitamins and minerals that no supplement is required. However, there are not many children who would actually eat everything you needed them Continue reading the story "The Vitamin Debate"

Heart Health: Finding Time

14

Working full-time means the late afternoons and evenings are taken up with homework, diner and housework.  Heading off to the gym is a thing of the past, although I dance once a week (usually) as my 'escape'.  I am, unfortunately, gaining a few pounds lately.  The clothes I have managed to somewhat organize in my closet are a Continue reading the story "Heart Health: Finding Time"

Thoughtful Thursday: Does Everything Happen For A Reason?

8

  Oh boy!  This is a really loaded topic for me.  Yes, I do believe things happen for a reason, but not in the 'God decided it should be so' sense.  Not that I don't believe in God...I'm a little on the fence about organized religion, but I believe in the 'force' of God Continue reading the story "Thoughtful Thursday: Does Everything Happen For A Reason?"

Nighttime – MyTime

  Night is a time for so many things.  Sleep is the first one that comes to mind. Yet sleep eludes me most of the time.  I find myself hoping, wishing, crying out for sleep...but NO!  Sleep does not always happen at night! Night is a time for great thoughts!  I formulate some of my most wonderful plans and ideas Continue reading the story "Nighttime – MyTime"
