New Year

It's pretty crazy to think that we are in the year 2013. Recently Rob and I saw "this is 40" and it got to thinking, I don't want to wait till I am forty "to just get happy" or figure out that we need to change things or get better. I know the premise of the movie was that they should not have changed anything about their life after all, but I know now that there are some things that I want to change and for sure as hell do that before i am 40 lol! But all joking aside, this week has been kind of tough, with trying to blog and everything, because i have been so busy with work, taking care of the family and trying to work out and keep my eating on track. I am so proud to say i have only slipped up ONCE! I had half of a bean and cheese burrito, which is ok. I am not going to completely deprive myself from the things that others eat, but I am going to make better choices, like eating half or making better selections. 

I have been run/walking (and logging it on my Daily Mile - follow me) every other day and track it on my awesome Garmin Forerunner 210 that I got from my in-laws for Christmas! Super excited about that one, because it came with a heart rate monitor, and it’s pretty awesome! I have been eating really well by juicing, eating mostly veggies and having a yogurt a day with CACAO nibs! You will not believe the amazing power of those little nibs. They are crunchy and you can add them to almost anything, and they totally satisfy hunger and your sweet tooth! Also besides taking Vitamins (D, Calcium, Cranberry, Folic acid, hair and nail stuff), I added Spriulina to my daily intake. I linked it up so that you can see the amazing effects it has on the body, but here are a few pluses:

Encouraging weight loss
• Counteracting toxins in the body
• Helping purify the liver
• Increasing mental alertness
• Lowering blood cholesterol and excess triglycerides
• Helping fight viral infections
• Treating radiation sickness
• Enhancing ability to generate new blood cells
• Improving blood sugar problems
• Strengthening the nervous system
• Strengthening the immune system
• Removing toxic metals such as lead and mercury from the body
• Improving healing of wounds

Who would not want to take this stuff right? I got it in pill form, because it does smell like algae in powder form.  Check it out!

Also another quick side note that I am proud of, is that just because I am not seeing any super fast weight loss, does not mean I am giving up! I feel better and right now that is all that counts!
