Vitamins!!

Another part of being healthy is having the right kind of things to feed your body. 

Vitamins are really good for your body!!

I used to use GNC Active Woman's Vitamins, which seemed to work fine, only they gave me stomach cramps!

A year ago I started using Nutrilite's DoubleX. It is AMAZING! I love it!

Did you know if you put a vitamin in a cup of water you can actually see how your body digests it?! 

Lets just say most store bought ones sit at the bottom. No wonder I was getting stomach cramps!!

This DoubleX vitamin completely dissolves to being DRINKABLE. Crazy huh? No! It's not crazy, that's the way it should be! Haha.

Do you want to try DoubleX vitamins?

You can't find them in the store. But you can get them through me :) so also by your purchase you are supporting me too! Win win!

Trust me, I am not trying to sell you here. The vitamins are great, if you want it, get it. If you don't, then don't. I'm just letting you know how to get them! :)

If you are interested you can go here and get them or visit the "My Business" tab on the upper left side of my full blog site

Don't let the name throw you off...I just like what they have :) and I'm sharing it with you. 

So the vitamin has your Multivitamin, your Multimineral and your Phytonutrient (which is actually a whole bunch of plants and greens. Yay! -that's my favorite)

Anyway...that's what I use. I love it. It helps me with energy, healing, muscles, clear thinking and I don't run out of steam in the middle of the day :) 

That's all I have to say lol

Check back later :)

Good morning!!!

I walked around the kitchen for a few minutes wrestling about what to eat. I've been wanting to do the Military Diet again but I would need to go to the store. I don't have much time this week as our church is having Vacation Bible School and our family plays a big part in it. We are the decorating committee, the worship director and music director. My day is GONE by 4pm. So I don't have time to be planning ahead with what I'm eating. 

I went into the pantry and picked up the box of Cocoa Pebbles only for a second. I put it down and turned off the light...I headed to the fridge...we had some melon, but I needed something more to hold me over. 

I had: 12 grain toast with peanut butter, chia seed and raisins :) one slice was enough. 

My coffee is another story. For a few years I've been using International Delight French Vanilla much is so nicely full of artificial sweeteners, preservatives and I'm sure any other fake thing they could get in there....but I can't kick the habit. 

For a while now I've entertained the thought of drinking black coffee...but it only lasted a few days and I wanted my creamer!

So don't be discouraged if you struggle with a love-hate relationship with your "ID"...you aren't alone haha

Getting my work out on today!!:

-40min on treadmill (walking at 3.5mph, running at 7mph)

-10lb weights routine (arm curls, jabs, lifts, push-back's, side bends)

-maybe TurboFire 10Abs and/or 20Core

-squats

-arms circles

-wall sit

-stretch :)

Hope you enjoy your day!!!! Remember God made your body, He knows the best way to take care of it, ask Him! :)

Happy Monday!

This morning I had a lovely breakfast date with my boyfriend. We went to a diner :)

I got 2 eggs over-easy, bacon, whole wheat toast and grits. It was filling. I didn't eat all the toast.

For lunch I started with about 1 1/2 cup of Cottage Cheese to encourage healthy choices. What I wanted was chips!! Haha.

Now, I'm about to enjoy a can of peas. I love peas, and yes I eat a whole can! 

After that I might have some apple sauce or some other fruit. But before it get too late in the day I'm allowing myself a few M&M's :) 

I have to remind myself to DRINK WATER...I just get so busy going through my tasks, then I feel tired and I wonder why...IM NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER!

Water and sleep are so important for being healthy. Sadly, they are the first to go in our society. DON'T FORGO THEM! Increase them! Make the time for it. You'll be glad you did. 

Oh, and please please please don't use energy drinks or caffeine to "replace" them. Those are only cover ups...there is not cure for needing sleep and needing water EXEPT to get sleep and drink water. True water. Flavored waters and other "healthy" drinks are like healthy sodas. You still need water. 

So fill up those cups...drink and pee, drink and pee :) 

Hahaha! 

Enjoy your day!!!! :D

Lunch

Today I wasn't that hungry...but rice sounded so good! 

One of the days on my last diet I ate only brown rice and fruit juice. It sounded good to me today. (Yes, that is a Aladdin cup)

I have surprisingly added a few things I did in the 7 day diet to my regular diet now. 

It wasn't a hard diet, I just had to plan more. 

I'd like to go on it again soon :)

Hope you find something today that brings a smile to your face :) remember YOU ARE AN AWESOME CREATION OF GOD (He doesn't create anything else but awesome! Haha)

Lunch

This is my lunch! In my world tuna fish and raisins are friends :)

This is multi-grain bread with mayonnaise (real mayo!), tuna, dill weed, and raisins. And a nice refreshing side of watermelon.

Yes, that is a Star Wars cup!!! Because my boyfriend is my best friend and that was his first gift to me :)

Do some looking up of Echinacea Tea today! I have been drinking it for years. Anytime I feel a soar throat coming on, I drink it up and it helps so much :)

The finished omelette muffins

I'm bagging some to put in the freezer for breakfasts for my Dad.

Here's what I did:

1/2 red pepper chopped

1/2 onion chopped

1 Cup cheese (I used Mexican blend from Costco)

8 eggs

1/4 cup milk

4 strips of cooked bacon chopped (a little bit set aside to top)

3 Tablespoons Salsa (because I didn't have tomatoes) 

1/2 tsp baking powder

Tiny bit of Pepper and Salt

Oven at 350 F.

Spray muffin tray. Try to spray each one, or coat with butter if you'd like.

I put everything into a bowl mixed it up and used a ladle to put it into the muffin tin. Then sprinkled the bacon pieces on top.

Cook about 20minutes...until it doesn't wiggle that much anymore and is starting to brown a little on top. :)

I plan to add spinach next time :) and maybe do vegetarian ones for someone ;)

Omelette muffins :)

Today I decided to try one of the breakfast recipes on Pinterest! 

Working on it now.... :)
