Building a better me

I started my Wright loss journey a while back I went to Beachbody as it worked for me in the past… I’ve joined the gym …and added Beachbody performance line to my workout and eating regiment…

There are many options in how you can build a ” stack” but this stack has worked for me …

and now I am a coach helping others … it’s been only a few weeks of working out… to be exact but have noticed a big change..

i feel more like me again… if that makes any sense.. I woke up tired .. like I had not slept in years although I set the alarm so I sleep 8 hours.. I always felt sluggish.. moody and depressed … not anymore … now I feel more 💜energized💛happy ❤️healthy and full of life ready to tackle the day…

I make sure I hit the gym early in the morning

Right when they open at 5am .. it’s an early start for me .. but I know it’s out of the way I’ve done what I need to do… and when I leave it’s nice and sunny ( well not today ) but bright outside

It’s been 2 weeks and I can finally see some muscle developing!!!!

I’ve added guided meditation to the end of my day and it’s really helped me with the stresses in my life 🙂 just loving this journey called life… and thanks to Beachbody .. I’m transforming into a new me and just love helping others… want to learn more?!? Take a look if you’d like …

Hand has mit musik

We run a german Deli and I just love this cheese .. although from

Germany never knew it came from Frankfurt am and I lived there for a time!!

HANDKÄSE or hand cheese is located in our deli case where our drinks are ( we even have german Fanta .. spezi and mezzo mix )

Handkäse is a sour milk handmade cheese usually served with caraway seeds.

Handkäse is often ordered mit musik, which translates to “with music.” That means it comes topped with raw onions. The not-really-that-funny joke is that the music comes later.

DEALING WITH LIFE CHALLENGES …

Many times in our life we find that we are faced with challenges. How we deal with these challenges helps us grow.  Whether you are faced with an illness, divorce, loss of a loved one, job loss, etc., it is up to you how you handle it. Yes, these situations can suck but if you let them consume you, they can bring you down really fast.

Here are few suggestions to deal with challenges in our life:

  • Surround yourself with positive people & embrace their energy.
  • Remember that everything happens for a reason, even though we may not know it at the time.
  • Don’t over think the issue. Accept the situation as it is and realize that sometimes there is nothing you can do to fix it.
  • Open up to a friend or therapist and really let yourself be vunerable. Share your thoughts and how the situation makes you feel. Don’t hold back.
  • Don’t beat yourself up about what you could have done in the past, that will get you nowhere.
  • Change your perspective and look at the positive of the situation, think about how much you will grow and learn from it.

Forget the sugar lemonade

Leave overnight and if you want .. pour and add a bit of honey or a packet of stevia or truvia … healthy .. food and nutritious

Sweet potato goodness

So today I’m eating a superfood great for the mind body and soul … sweet potato .. there is a catch though..

One of my absolute favorite things to do weather you like to eat it with the skin or without it.. I drink the juice.. I boil my sweet potato in water nothing else…. you can let it cool or drink it warm..:

Or you can add

Hot:warm Milk..cinnamon for a sweet potato latte

Or

Add maple syrup..cinnamon..plain Greek yogurt a little whipped cream ( served cold and blended in the blender of course )

Or

1/2 banana .. 1/2 sweet potato.. 1 date..1 cup almond milk…water.. ice.. blend A sweet potato mock ice cream smoothie

Apples and maple syrup

So I’m craving apples but don’t want oatmeal.. want to have something satisfying but not too unhealthy… this is one of my favorites with coffee in the morning ..

And so easy … slice up 2 apples 🍎 🍏.. they have organic ones at Target now!!!!! … smiling but you can’t see that…

Drizzle with maple syrup .. also bought at target .. if not then shoprite

After all you will b drizzling not adding a full serving… Calories are amazing hardly any..

you can add a pack of or half a pack ( I don’t do it all the time ) of raisins … optional sprinkle with cinnamon … and then microwave…

If you make it in bulk like I do sometimes just place in a baking dish .. rubbingbthe bottom with butter or coconut oil so nothing sticks … and done!!
