I'm So Grateful For...

I just wanted to pick today to yell out to everyone, as well of myself, to be grateful today. Really we should be grateful everyday, but lets start here first!  It is so easy to take for granted the things and people in our lives.  Sadly until we are faced with tragedy or looking at another dear friend or families hardship, do we stop to appreciate what we have!

Let's not be that person and rise to the gifts, joys and happiness we have to be grateful for.  Saying aloud five things you are truly blessed to have in your life will not only reconnect you to what is truly important, but will put a smile on your face and open your eyes to the beauty of the day. 

Acknowledging what we are grateful for is a healthy way to lead life. It will keep positive energy around us, which helps us become more enjoyable to be around, more successful in your lives and closer to achieving our goals and dreams.

Here are the five top things and people I am grateful for today and always...

My husband, he makes our house a home; for my children, they fill my soul with smiles and warm fuzzies; my family for their unconditional love; friends for sharing, caring, laughing, crying, nagging, ragging and just good ol' times; and the mountains that give me peace of mind and strength to know there is something bigger out there to believe in.

Share with us what you are grateful for so we can all make our lists of gratitude longer!

Boost Your Breakfast

We hear so often how hard it is for people to eat breakfast.  They are too busy rushing off to work or appointments or taking care of their kids' breakfast, they end up forgetting about their own. Or they simply don't like breakfast or just aren't hungry.

Here is simply why your body really NEEDS that meal...It's the meal that kick starts your metabolism for the day!  You want to avoid taking your metabolism or blood sugar levels on a wicked roller coaster ride.  Small meals throughout the day will keep your energy levels flowing and breakfast is what gets the ball rolling in the right direction! 

Breakfast helps keep your weight on track, your moods from swinging and from having that feeling of being so ravishingly hungry by 4pm, that you could eat your whole days worth of calories in one sitting.  And that's exactly what many people do!

Here are some great balanced breakfast ideas to keep your body happy...

+ Whole-grain toast with almond butter and some grapefruit.

+ Organic yogurt with 1/2 cup berries and 1/4 cup nuts

+ One or two poached eggs and a sweet potato

+ Smoothie with 1/2 banana, 1 cup berries, 1-2 Tbsp of whey protein powder and 8 oz of milk

+ Museli with apples and almonds

Hormones & Chocolate

Sorry ladies, but you can't blame that M&M binge on PMS.  A recent study found that postmenopausal women have the same yen for chocolate as the younger peeps, suggesting that hormone fluctuations don't cause those cocoa cravings.  The real reason we reach for chocolate is because it's a comfort food, and many of us feel irritable before our period.  Researchers are suggesting to opt for a treat high in calcium, such as frozen yogurt instead.  Studies show that getting 1,200 milligrams a day can ease PMS symptoms, like cramps and mood swings.  Golden Spoon here I come!
