Four weeks ago, I shared my new journey to getting healthy with Amway’s Nutrilite. I haven’t been perfect along the way, but for the most part I have stayed on track and am continuing to feel better. At week 4, I have lost a total of 5 pounds and although I haven’t been measuring inches, I can tell that my waist and thighs are starting to shrink. My clothes feel a little less snug, which is always a good result.
Does your family live an all-organic lifestyle? In my home we do a little bit of both, but when my youngest was an infant I only made his baby food with organic fruits and vegetables. There was a peace of mind knowing that I was feeding him non-treated foods in such a critical part of his growth and development. Now that my kids are older, we have strayed away from the all-organic lifestyle, but I do often purchase organic produce and dairy products. I appreciate…
Two weeks ago, I shared my new journey to getting healthy with Amway’s Nutrilite. Now that I have officially completed two weeks of the weight management program, I can confidently say that I feel MUCH better and already down four pounds. I am consistently consuming more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, which my body has been desperately needing for a long time. It is amazing how clear my head feels and the amount of energy I have each day.
Today I stepped on the scale and the number scared me. 140 lbs. At my height of 5′ 5″, 140 lbs is considered “healthy” but is on the higher end of the BMI scale. I don’t feel like myself. I feel sluggish, bloated, tired and grumpy. My clothes are getting tighter. I am eating whatever I want, including large portions of processed foods, take-out, and sweets. I don’t like where this is going. Last August, I was doing great with my eating habits. I was…
When I delivered my first child back in the year 2000, we had JUST installed internet access in our home. The internet was by no means a new thing, but ordering products online was not the norm either. Instead, we headed out at all hours of the day and night picking up packs of diapers and wipes. After we arrived at the store, we then had to figure out which size and style to purchase among a huge selection. At times, it was stressful. Fortunately,…
Let’s face it, ladies…our bodies drastically change after having kids. Issues like acne, allergies, weight gain, and yes, bladder leakage can rear its ugly head during and after pregnancy. In fact, did you know 1 in 3 women has light bladder leakage? This isn’t a topic that many of us like to discuss, but it is a reality for women. As if we don’t have enough stress in our life, right? Poise pads give you one less thing to worry about. Now you can laugh with…
Last month, I shared about my upcoming coolsculpting procedure. Now I’m back with an update, one month later! THE PROCEDURE I’m sure the first thing you will want to know is if the procedure hurt or not, right? Well, hurt, no, but it was a little uncomfortable at first. There was intense pulling of the treated area for about 5 minutes, then numbness took over from the cooling process. Once it was numb, there wasn’t any pain. I was actually tweeting and updating on Facebook…
