Summer is right around the corner. Don’t wait until you have to get into those shorts or bathing suits. Start now so you will be ready.

1. Stay Hydrated – Drink plenty of H2O especially as the weather heats up. The body is made up of up to 75% water…Blood is 83%water, muscles are 75% water, the brain is 95% water,lungs are 90% water. What does this tell you? Your body need water to function properly. Make sure you are drinking at least 64 ounces a day, more if you workout and the weather is hot.

2. Kick start your metabolism everyday by eating a balanced breakfast – Oatmeal, egg whites and berries are a great way to start the day. Keep your diet clean throughout the day, eating lean protein with a complex carb every 2-3 hours. Be sure to include “good” fats also. Skipping meals, waiting too long to eat and eating the wrong types of food will cause your body to store fat and use muscle for fuel. Continue reading »

THIS IS A MUST….AGAIN!!!!

I learned a lot from my daughter Henley this week. She had her first prom. She knew her relationship with her boyfriend was over. She played the same game with herself that we all do. She felt bad that she felt this way when prom was upon them. After all, he had pulled out all the stops on how he asked her to prom. She didn’t want to be ‘mean’. She didn’t want to look like a ‘bitch.’ She talked about waiting it out to see if it got better. It wasn’t going to get better, we all saw it. After her dad listened to one of her stories he said, “Yeah…it’s over.” But she couldn’t get past the ‘prom’ thing…until she did. She realized quickly that things were not going to change for her. Her feelings had changed simply because they did. As bad as she felt, she broke up with him the day after prom.

That took courage and in the end was the best thing she could have done for both of them.

If only we could all take a lesson from Henley’s break up book. Continue reading »

“Never allow someone to be your priority, while you’re just their option”.

I recently posted this saying on my Facebook page and to my surprise got quite the response from people.  It seems that at one time or another we have all been guilty of making someone our priority, when we were just their option.

I am sure that so many of you who are divorced feel this way, after all it is usually the one who has had enough of making everyone else their priority, without feeling appreciated themselves, that finally says enough and files for divorce. There are also those out there who are such constant caregivers that they always seem to find themselves making everyone else their priority, while they are just someone else’s option. Sound familiar to any of you? How about the person who divorces, and after the proper amount of time decides to date again, only to find themselves in need of attention and comfort so bad, that they once again “make someone their priority, while they only make them their option”.

What is it that drives so many people to this unhealthy and never ending cycle of frustration and pain? What is that blinds people to the obvious? Why can’t they see the forest through the trees or their nose in spite of their face? Why would you want to ever make someone else your priority when they only make you their option?

Train your Brain

Along with building your body with proper nutrition and training, you should keep your brain in shape too. For me, everything is a balance and each function of the body works together. The brain should not be forgotten. Studies have shown that challenging your brain to think can reduce your chances of Alzheimer’s.

Brain Workouts

1. Do puzzles or Brain teasers – Sudoku, crosswords, jigsaw puzzles or even apps on your ipod or phone Continue reading »

This is going to be short, sweet, and the most freeing blog you have read in a long time.

It is a question everyone has an opinion on. There are books written about this. There are therapists who are paid lots of money to help people find the right answer to this question. Most say 6 months.
So…what is the question that causes so many debates, guilt, and…lies??? And what is up with 6 months?

When Do You Tell Your Kids About The New Person In Your Life?

Like I said most experts and non-experts say 6 months is a healthy time to involve the children into your new relationship. I have to ask, why is 6 months the magic number? Did someone do a study? And if they did, what did they find?
Did they find 6 months of lying? Hiding? Not making their children a part of their life? Continue reading »
