Great News!!!

“Fat Makes You Smart, Sexy and Happy.” Chapter 9 of Dr. Hyman’s book EAT FAT, GET THIN.

Great news in this book!

Great news in this book!

 

I will give you some great bullet points from Dr. Hyman’s book.

  • EATING FAT REVERSES TYPE 2 DIABETES (and improves blood sugar control for Type 1)
  • EATING FAT PREVENTS BRAIN AGING AND DEMENTIA
  • EATING FAT HELPS WITH SEIZURES, DEPRESSION,ADD, AUTISM, TRAUMA AND MORE
  • EATING FAT REDUCES INFLAMMATION AND AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE
  • EATING FAT BOOSTS YOUR SPORTS PERFORMANCE
  • EATING FAT GIVES YOU BEAUTIFUL SKIN, HAIR AND NAILS!!!! (exclamation points are mine, image is everything:)
  • EATING FAT ENHANCES YOUR SEX LIFE
  • FAT AND CANCER: SHOULD WE BE WORRIED?

 

I have increased my fat quite a bit in the last ten days. It is important to eat high quality healthy fats. For example, I am having coconut oil in my coffee every morning and eating an avocado daily. I feel grounded, less bloated, less hungry and it has been easier not to overeat.

I am very interested in all of this. I am putting together a 28 day test group to see what the effects are. My intention is to lose a few pounds, reduce the menopausal belly and feel absolutely fabulous! Would you like to join me?

“It is about finding the simplest, most effective ways to get the body you want with as little effort and anxiety as possible.”

Butter in my coffee:)

I am trying something new. Have you heard of intermittent fasting? How about putting butter in your coffee?

I am getting up at 6 am and making an organic cup of french roast coffee in my french press pot and adding a TBS of my delicious ghee. I made ghee from the unsalted Kerry Gold Irish butter the last time. SO CREAMY AND DELICIOUS! I enjoy the coffee and walk George the dog a mile. I am getting some exercise without eating.

Coffee with ghee!

After taking Thomas to his program at 9 am, I come home and have breakfast. I haven’t eaten for 14 hours. It is a completely different thought process of having breakfast first thing in the morning. I know many wait until later but for now I am hungry at 9 and I feel like I better eat something!

This was my breakfast this morning. An organic granny smith apple, organic cottage cheese , almond butter and sprinkled with cinnamon.

Grain Free and delicious!

I had a glass of wine at DAY 50! My intention was to give up wine for 90 days. What can I say? I had enough. My stress level was building for a bunch of reasons. Last Tuesday which was Fat Tuesday, I thought what am I doing to myself? Why am I putting another layer of stress on myself. I decided I was done! I had a glass of wine for dinner and it was lovely.

My friends are asking, “What is next?” My Answer is Peace, Joy and Happiness.

I do so much better with small healthy steps. I don’t need to place restrictions on myself. It just doesn’t work in the long run. I loved the salad of the month and the green smoothie of the month. I was adding in healthy habits instead of taking something away.

Yippee! I am back on my balanced PROGRAM. Want to join me? Contact me and I will get you set up.

Enjoy your day!

Love,

Mary

Healthy Wealthy Fit

It is 2016. It is time for me to get my financial house in order. I am 61. My life has been family oriented. I am very fortunate because I was and am a stay at home Mom. My husband worked and took care. Our son Thomas 26 and developmentally disabled lives at home.  I have worked through out my life but always on a part time basis and for myself so I could set my working hours around the needs of my family.

Now, I want to create my own substantial income. This is one part of my life that has been missing. I need to know that I can do this. I am expanding my focus from Healthy and Fit to Healthy, Wealthy and Fit.  Healthy and Fit I have a handle on. Financial well being  is certainly related to health.

So much more to come!

Now, this is FASHION!

“Nothing is more empowering than getting control over your spending, your money beliefs, and your cash flow. And nothing is more thrilling than seeing your bank account grow as a result of these changes. Anyone can take the same steps I’ve taken to achieve peace of mind and better financial and physical health. The first step is simply knowing you can do it! ” Dr. Christiane Northrup

I love fashion on some level. Feeling good and therefore looking good is important. I really love clothes that are comfortable, #1 and stylish #2! I always enjoy seeing what Ellen Degeneres is wearing. She certainly looks put together and comfortable.

I feel good in my clothes because I am in shape. I have a strong core and my clothes fit. Fitness is my fashion statement.

Thank goodness because here is my closet. Not much in there. It is amazing that I look as put together as I do:)

Socks can make the outfit. I love cool socks. You can have a pair of jeans or cozy black wool pants on with fun socks and you have an outfit!

Now, this is FASHION!

One last tip. I use my BOOM products by Cindy Joseph everyday. They make me feel good and put together. Here is my make up demo. One of my most popular videos. Does my audience care more about makeup than burpees? Maybe, it is easier.

I would love to hear from you. What is your go to outfit… the one that makes you feel fit and fabulous?

 

 

Grain Free Banana Pancakes

Since I have been on my 90 day wine free challenge , I have been making more of an effort to create very satisfying delicious and nutritious meals. This morning for breakfast I made Grain Free Banana Pancakes with sauteed pears on top. I have had many requests for the recipe so here it is.

Pancakes on the griddle.

Pancakes on the griddle.

  • 1 banana
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or I love maple extract
  • a serving size of protein powder. I use 2 scoops of My Smart Whey.
  •   sprinkle in cinnamon.

Mix it all together and cook on the griddle. I use coconut oil to grease the griddle.

Bonus round! Thinly slice a pear and saute in butter , add a few chopped pecans with pears at the end.

I also like to top my pancakes with a dollop of plain full fat yogurt.

A FIT AND FABULOUS WAY TO START YOUR DAY!

No wine, 22 days in.

Time to check in. No wine for 90 days has been a challenge.  I remember Wayne Dyer talking about giving up alcohol and how it was no big deal. When I talk about it, it feels silly that it has had such an impact. I have been feeling emotional flat and depressed or maybe sad is a better word. I have found ways to deal with all of it and it is getter better.

Excuse the shakiness, I need my AV guy!

I have been making a effort to cook delicious satisfying meals. Google the Barefoot Contessa, she has great recipes. I am hoping to shed a few pounds. I have been making Ina Garten’s roasted cashews and eating lots of them. Delicious and high in calories. It is all an adjustment.

This morning, I made low-glycemic grain free banana pancakes.

Start your day with a delicious nutritious breakfast!

I would love to hear from you. Have you struggled giving up alcohol, caffeine, sugar? Of  course, we all have! Would you like to join me?

That is it for now!

I love winter! It is such a cozy time of year.  I enjoy hiking with George the dog when everything is frozen and I don’t have to be concerned about mud or ticks!

Here is my Day 5 Vlog. #365grateful

The New Year is here. I have had a FUN time eating. Did you see the crumb cake I posted yesterday? It was filled with white flour, white sugar and tons of delicious organic butter.

Now, it is time to commit to MY PROGRAM. I have been off the wine for 2 weeks now. It is still not easy. I am committed for 90 days. Here is the real reason I decided to quit. Would you like to join me in a fabulous lifestyle program? (You don’t have to give up your glass of red wine.) Check it out. There is something very powerful about being connected with a healthy community.

Here is my daily #365grateful vlog.

I love my Vitamix. When you attend the Institute of Integrative Nutrition, you feel quite a bit of peer pressure to buy a vitamix. I am so glad I did. We use it everyday! Some things are just worth it.

 

Do you set intentions for the New Year? I would love to hear from you!

Love,

Mary
