* Good Morning *
Just thought I'd stop by today and give a brief report on my own personal journey for being healthy.
Since the first of the year, I've lost another ten pounds - mostly it has to do with my new job. I'm working for a fuel company, working the 'islands', and I'm on the run for more than 8 hours, non-stop. I am pretty active anyway, but pushing more exercise into my day (or night) has been the magic 'ticket' toward acheiving success in becoming more healthy than I already am.
I try to eat as healthy as I can and make room to include more beverages that are water based and not loaded too much with sugar. I try to get my sugar fix by lacing things with Molasses (I need the extra iron) and by eating things that do not include highly refined sugar bases: For example, I like to sweeten my drinks with Agave nectar or using raw brown sugar.
My weakness is eating decadent cheesecake for breakfast or carrot cake.
My stength might be in eating salmon, tuna, grain-fed portions of red meats or poultry that is raised cage free (I tend to stay away from genetically altered protein sources).
I'm doing as well as I can.
I think what works for me is pushing the element of more exercise, getting plenty of sleep and breathing as much air as possible (breath work) on a consistent basis.
I'm wishing you all a beautiful day today,
~D
