EATING GOOD...LIVING LONG!

OK my girls(and boys of course) so in order to have a whopping 72% less chance of getting cancers and other illnesses we need to eat more food that is good for us! I am really into the doctor shows as of late and have been trying to be more healthy and listening to their advice.

You are to eat:

Broccoli
Tomatoes
Kale
Spinach
Fish
Garlic
Leafy Green Lettuces
Dark Chocolate
Red Wine(in moderation of course)
Blueberries
Grapefruit
Green Tea
Walnuts


These are the BIG ones(among others). I am trying to incorporate these into my diet. I know I want to live a long, healthy life and I am sure you do too! After I got lupus my outlook on life changed. You really never ever know when illness or disease will fall upon you. It is not something for the old but something that can happen to anyone at any age. I have been fighting my illness for a few years now and a lot of it has to do with diet and what you put into your body. I am not thin by any means but I try to eat healthy foods as much as I can since I have gotten sick and it really does help:-) I don't want to lose any of you and as I am trying to be healthier now I want you all to as well as I DO NOT want to lose any of you:-) I am lucky as I LOVE all these foods so it won't be a problem to incorporate them into my life. It is so hard to think into the future until something bad happens to us but I am asking you to. I know some of you are having babies or have had babies and the health of their mother is sooooo important so cheers to being healthy and eating good!

Cheers to living a long life my friends!

I am FINALLY happy...

For years and years I chased it...now it is sitting softly on my shoulders... My friends, everything has finally happened for me and fallen into place.

“ Love is the condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own"

I am so lucky and so blessed to have found someone who makes me want to be a better person, to grow every single day and to feel entirely happy with myself for once

ZUMBA and Other News

I started a ZUMBA class tonight. It is AWESOME! It burns 1000 calories in 1 hour. It ended 35 mins ago and my face is still red and I am still sweaty even after a shower. It was absolutely exhilarating and I have not felt this good in a long time. It is a dance/aerobics class with hypnotic Latin moves, great music and lots of fun. I felt at times as if my legs would fall off. I continue to do yoga and think this is the perfect "other" in my fitness regime. I went with my friend Cara from school and we had a blast...can't wait till next week! Both of us want to go twice a week instead of just the one day.

On another note, today was the last day of the class I have been taking. Hooray for that!

My Mom just had heart surgery on Monday...just wanted to let you know it went good and she is out of the hospital and at home in Tisdale now. She is doing OK, a little sore and has to take it easy for awhile but she is alright. I am thankful for that as well :-)

Brian just had a niece and we went to see her last weekend. Her name is Piper and she is adorable. Her baptism is in a couple of days so proud uncle Bri and I will be gone for the weekend to go to that and visit with his family. Looking forward to it!
