You don’t have to give up your favorite chocolate cake!

I don’t want to become a vegan and give up  a yummy hamburger or delicious chocolate cake.

A few years back, I was thinking about how I have lost the coziness in my life. It is coming back because I am learning to allow myself to enjoy the small things in my day.

I have been reading and highlighting Goddesses Never Age by Christiane Northrup. ( I love when I borrow friends books that are highlighted. I can see what they are interested in.)  I am sharing my highlights with you. This really struck me and is so important to share.

“You don’t have to swear off chocolate, rich foods, or alcohol completely to be a goddess of pleasure. In fact, studies of healthy centenarians show that these individuals enjoy things like alcohol, cigars and chocolates as rituals of pleasure.” Dr. Christiane Northrup

This can be done on a daily basis, if it is done mindfully. You sit down and have a small delicious organic cup of coffee with a piece of dark chocolate. You sit and enjoy. You are not in your car, multi tasking drinking a big gulp. Huge difference. You sit down and enjoy a glass of red wine in a beautiful wine glass. You are savoring  and enjoying not drinking because you are angry and had a stressful day.

This is where the coziness comes in as well. It feels very cozy to sit and enjoy a delicious treat. If you are going to have a treat buy the best you can buy. Don’t buy something cheap and processed.

Every evening, I enjoy a glass of red wine in my Grandmother’s crystal wine glass. My latest favorite is Live a Little organic Red. It has a pretty label and I like it:)

Live A Little!

Live A Little!

What are the simple pleasures in your day? Please share.  I would love to hear from you.

Try New Things…

Try new things, change in direction…

I have been reading Goddesses Never Age by Christiane Northrup MD. which of course I highly recommend.  This was the first of I am sure many lines that I highlighted. “The anti-aging prescription is to love life, try new things, and savor your experiences.”

I also attempt to sit on my meditation cushion everyday for ten minutes.  (don’t always do it but I think about it.) After my ten minutes are up, I pick an Angel card. Last week, I picked the same card twice! This is from Doreen Virtue, PH.D,  Change in Direction ” The changes you are experiencing are Divinely directed by your newborn willingness to open your heart to love and our guidance. You are protected now and in the future, so follow your path to the happy outcomes you desire.”

So this is what I did. A little scary but I did it. Dan, my husband coached me through it. ” Come on Mare, you have big strong legs, kick them up there!” And so I did! It is always great to have a cheerleader.

Do you tell your age?

As many of you know I have been a member of Team Northrup for 8 years now. Following and being involved with the work of Dr. Northrup and Kate Northrup has been life changing! It is so wonderful to hang out with happy healthy people. You do that and you become one! It is amazing how that works.

Part of my work with Team Northrup and our product partner Usana Health science has been the inspiration behind my blog. My intention is to empower and inspire women to be Fit and Fabulous…Aging Optional. I am here to pass on my own inspiration and what influences me.

Last week it was Boom Sticks by Cindy Joseph which I love and so does my Mom. This week, Dr. Northrup has come out with her new book. Goddesses Never Age. I just got it yesterday and can’t wait to dive right in.

Dr. Northrup's book

I am sharing Kate Northrup’s Glimpse TV with her Mom. Go make a cup of tea, come back and sit down and enjoy 20 minutes of Kate and Dr. Northrup.  See why Dr. Northrup says, never tell your age. We are all ageless. I am proud of my age but after watching,  I think now I am officially “ageless”! Tell me what you think, I would love to hear from you.

PS. I have the inside scoop on Dr. Northrup’s Ageless Goddess supplement pac. Contact me… I can set you up.

Love,

“Celebrate your age, embrace your crow’s feet!”

I am excited about Aging Well. I love what I do! I love having my outdoor workouts, where the average age is 56. (I have 2 forty year olds that change the stats a bit.) You get the point. I love coaching people to eat well, empowering them to make changes to look and feel their best.  There is no turning back!

Fit and Fabulous…Aging Optional.

I spend time reading and watching videos about aging well. Instead of embracing aging sucks, it is all downhill from here, it’s over…blah,blah,blah. Why go there?

Why not focus on living the best life that you can? Look and feel fabulous at any age! Celebrate your age, embrace your crow’s feet! How many smiles did it take to create them?

My mentor Dr. Christiane Northrup is coming out with her new book. Goddesses Never Age. Dr. Northrup always  has amazing information about living a fabulous vibrant lifestyle. “Just because you’ve been taught by our culture to expect to be less vital, healthy, or active after  the age of 50, this doesn’t have to be your destiny!!! Your beliefs—and the behavior that stems from those beliefs—largely determine your experience of moving through time. On February 24, 2015, I share everything you need to know about getting older in my newest book, “Goddesses Never Age: The Secret Prescription for Radiance, Vitality, and Well-Being.” Find out how you can be an ageless goddess here: www.goddessesneverage.com.”

I came across on FACEBOOK, Cindy Joseph and her product line BOOM. Cindy has created the Pro-Age revolution. She didn’t call it anti-aging or ageless. She called it Pro-Age. It is such a change of attitude and I love it! I have been watching her videos. You know her she is the older model with long beautiful gray hair. (She now has a perky short hair cut.) She has created a makeup line called Boom.

I have never been much of a makeup person. I really don’t know how to deal with it. I am not even comfortable with a tube of lipstick. I do like tinted lip gloss that comes with a stick. It is so easy to put it on. I watched her video, you slap it on, rub it in and look amazing! She has three different Boom Sticks. Watch her video she can explain it better than me. I will let you know when they come. Cindy has many videos about her Pro- Age Revolution. She just makes you happy to be of a “certain age.”

 

This is the kind of information I want it my head about aging!  How about you?

Low-glycemic eating keeps your blood sugar stable, your hormones happy and promotes great health!I  follow a low-glycemic diet with very little grains.

Here is a typical lunch, bacon is an added bonus. I usually have left-over dinner on a bed of greens. I have been making different dressings to keep the salad interesting!

Salad dressing:

Juice of one orange

Juice 1/2 Lime

2 tsp maple syrup

1/4 cup olive oil

salt and pepper

Whisk it together and serve!

Roasted Chicken on mixed greens with cashews and no-nitrate bacon!

I posted last week that I started on A-MA-TA, Dr. Northrup’s new product to help with Menopause symptoms. I am slowly weaning off my bio-identical hormones and so far so good. I am also doing the healthy gut protocol to help with the process.

Health Coach Tip!

Low Glycemic Diet +Exercise + High Quality Supplements = Optimal Health!
