Master Your Metabolism

So, I said a short while ago that I was going to get Jillian Michaels' new book, Master Your Metabolism, and I did! OMG!!!! IT IS THE BEST BOOK EVER TO BE PUBLISHED.... ok, that might be a little dramatic, but it's close!!!

My health journey began years ago after having a nurse practitioner prescribe an antidepressant for me to take when there was nothing chemically wrong with me ON TOP of the multiple pain killers I was also prescribed prior to the antidepressant. And for those who do not know... if you ARE NOT depressed due to a chemical imbalance that the body cannot balance on it's own, chemicals added to your system cause SEVERE PROBLEMS.... like wanting to kill yourself problems! At least, that is what happened to me. I thought I was crazy and sought help which led me to work with a life coach out of a holistic clinic. I was FREED by this holistic doctor and set on a long path to achieve optimum health. My journey would later pick up pace when my sister invited me to do the Master Cleanse with her back in 2004... you all KNOW how much I love that MC!!! :) So with that back story being shared, enter Master Your Metabolism by Jillian Michaels.

Master Your Metabolism has so fine tuned the knowledge that I've gained over the years, that I can't help but be overly excited about it. I mean, I'm telling everyone...screaming it from mountain tops! Jillian (with the help of Mariska Van Aalst) explained, biologically, what the additives and preservatives and poisons are doing to our hormones. Our hormones are the communicators for just about every function of our body (including losing weight, being healed from disease, etc.) and these toxins disrupt (even change) that communication.

That biological information is so key to have and could change some paradigms! My mother-in-law said that she once met a man who got very sick and became a vegan and was healed, convincing her that she needed to be a vegan. After reading Jillian's book (and discovering that, of all the foods that are the most hopped up with chemicals, it's anything from an animal! Animals eat the pesticides from the crops AND are injected with hormones and antibiotics whereas fruit and veggies only have the dozen or so pesticides) I'm convinced that it wasn't necessarily the vegan diet so much as the decrease of chemicals in the system that cured this man my mother-in-law met. I KNEW that God wouldn't tell us to eat meat if it wasn't good for us. We just have to eat GOOD MEAT! For more info on that, please read Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 in the Bible. God is just awesome!!!

Anyway, here's where I'll end my rant. Master Your Metabolism (AND the Bible for that matter) is on my MUST READ list and gets 100,000 High Fives! Go get it and master your metabolism.... master your health!

Eat Your Veggies

What is it we all KNOW to do? ... Eat our veggies. Fitness professionals, Weight Watchers, nutritionists and the like will all tell you that you can almost eat as many vegetables as you want as often as you want and it will help you lose weight. Heck, an entire eating plan revolves around the concept... ever heard of a little thing called Volumetrics!?! But what if I told you that I had a proven method to not just eat your vegetables, but get more vitamins, minerals and enzymes from them and actually use them to substitute the things you already love? Wow... you'd say that I sounded like a pitch man from a sales infomercial! hahahaha! Well, I'm not selling anything, but I do want to share the proven method. When I say proven method, I mean that it has proven itself true to work for me. It may or may not work for you, but ask your doctor and see what they think about RAW FOOD! Actually it's just raw fruit, vegetables, seeds and nuts. I still eat cooked meat (organic of cours...

Super Bowl XLVI

Ok gang... today is Super Bowl Sunday and I'm going to PARTY!  This year it's the Patriots vs. the Giants.  I honestly haven't kept up the football teams but I can tell you that the same was true for the last Super Bowl Party I attended and it ROCKED!!!  It was 18 years ago (GEEZ... that long really?!?) and my buddies Lynn and Wayne put it on.  It was the most memorable party I ever attended... I had THE BEST TIME!!!  My only regret is that my husband can't join me this year, although remembering that last party, I'm thinking it might be for the best.  HAHAHAHAHA! Anyway, I thought I'd put together some goodies to take with me.  The pic above is one of the commemorative goody boxes I made using Stampin Up's Sizzix Matchbox die.  This die is actually one of the most used dies I own.  If you're on the fence about this one...its a MUST HAVE!!!  As you can see in the pic, four Hershey's Nuggets fit in it perfectly.  It will also hold...
