Bone Tired

Today, I am bone tired. I am exhausted. I have been wondering how to pep myself up. Here is what I have learned:

• Exercise - it really helps. Today I am pushing myself out of the door. It is fun once you finally get started.
• Clean Eating - it helps keep your engine running and  your pipes clear. :)  
• Supplements - taking supplements has helped me maintain my energy. I recently experienced some hair loss so I increased my intake of certain supplements. It has really helped my hair 
• Veggies - Your body needs fuel to burn fat. I have started making a super salad with spinach and several varieties of lettuce, tomato, mushroom, red onion, slivered onions, cranberries and whatever else is on hand. I make a dressing with a safflower base and use a pinch of pepper to season. 
• Water - flush it out. Water works miracles.

Challenge:  Find 2 new ways of powering up when you feel like taking a nap. :) 

Tip:  Walk the DOG!!!!

Out Sick with Spring Fever?

Spring Fever! I have a very bad case of Spring Fever. Have you ever looked out the window during a meeting and wished that you were lying on your lounge chair? You know things are bad when you can't wait to sit on the porch in the evening.  Once you are on the porch you must have a glass of wine - then some cheese or grapes. How can this be? Good News. You can manage to have your wine and cheese and stay on plan. Look for low fat cheeses like Baby Bell or Laughing Cow Light or reduce your portion of goat cheese to 1 ounce. Look for crackers that are full of healthy grains. I love Sesmark Sesame Thin All Natural Wheat Crackers with Flax  Seeds. The crackers have a points plus value of 3 for 8 crackers. The grapes are 0 points.....SO HIT THE PORCH, PATIO OR YARD and relax. You deserve a break today.

Have a Veggie Good Day,

40 Days and 40 Nights

Hello Out There- I have been missing in action for the last 2 weeks. I am sorry about not blogging. I know you understand. We all get busy. Moving on...So, it is officially LENT. I love LENT because it is a time of  sacrifice and reflection. I have decided to give up NEGATIVITY for LENT. That is right. For the next 38 days I will practice what we preach as Christians. I will lean on my faith, believe that all things are possible and most importantly - I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN GOD. Sounds easy? Wrong. We are conditioned to worry. We are accustomed to being in control - We are not in control. Have you seen the movie the Adjustment Bureau. You should check it out. I will not spoil it for you. Let me know what you think about the movie.

What are you giving up for LENT? Make it worth it. Make this time of reflection count for something. Get ready for Easter and the promise of rebirth and renewal that comes with the risen Christ.

Japan- Please keep the people of Japan in your prayers. Life is fragile. So be good to yourself. You will not get a do over.

Have a Veggie Great Day!!!!
