HEALTHY SMOOTHIES

BREAKFAST SMOOTHIE

2 handfulls fresh spinach
½ inch fresh ginger, peeled
juice of ½ lemon
½ apple
⅓ banana
1 tablespoon flax seeds
pinch Goji berries
1 scoop recovery (or protein) drink
1 tablespoon almonds
Add water to water line

To make this drink I use a Nutri-Bullet. This little gadget has a powerful motor that can blenderize anything, fruits, veggies, nuts and seeds. The Nutri-Bullet has changed my life. Now I can have raw, fresh foods both morning and evening. Raw foods still have their nutrients and vitamins, cooked foods do not. Below is my evening smoothie made with veggies.

DINNER SMOOTHIE

2 handfulls  fresh spinach
lemon juice from ½ lemon
1 small tomato or handful cherry tomatoes
piece of celery or cucumber
⅓ avocado
20 pumpkin seeds
pinch salt and cayenne
Add water to water line

Taste for seasoning and drink to your health. These drinks are packed with nutrition and low in calories.And they taste yummy!

“Sometimes the best journeys aren’t necessarily from east to west, or from ground to summit,but from heart to head. Between them we find our voice.”—Jermy Collins

Listening to my heart saying “go get healthy” was the best decision of my life. Not just listening, but taking the mandate seriously enough to make it a priority in my life. It paid off big time, I got more than healthy. I gained success and happiness.Today, listening to my inner voice is my guiding force.

TIPS FOR STAYING COMMITED

Posted on by

You want to lose weight and get in shape, right? You’ve told yourself this time it will be different, you won’t mess up and have to start all over again next year. You’ve promised yourself this time your New Year’s resolution for 2012 is the last one you’ll ever make.

To help you stay on track and remain committed for the rest of your life, here are some strategies that have worked for me and many others. They can work for you too:

  • Read everything you can on the subject of fitness. Fill your mind with facts, stories, pictures and general information on exercise, nutrition, and stress management techniques. Become an expert on the subject. Knowledge is power. The more you know; the more weapons you will have to counter your old unhealthy impulses.
  • Keep a journal. Record daily your activity level, food intake, moods, dreams and expectation. Journaling will help you become important to yourself. Spend time reflecting on your behavior, goals and dreams. When you learn to love yourself, commitment will be forever.
  • Practice affirmations. Speak to yourself as you would a queen. Show yourself the respect, care and love you would grant royalty.  “I am powerful and smart”, “That was just a little mistake, I can do it better the second time”, “My personal needs are my priority”, “My body is my most precious possession, I want to take care of it”, “I can’t wait to exercise again tomorrow, I feel fantastic!”, “I am enjoying preparing healthy foods to feed my body and brain”.
  • Announce to family and friends you are on a new path, not just to lose weight, but to sustain your health and longevity for the rest of your life.
  • Before you go to sleep at night, name 10 things you’re grateful for.
