A little bit of energy...

Well after my 12 hour days, I have been trying to get in shape by going to the gym to do 30 minutes of cardio - treadmill, elliptical and bike.  Also, I have started doing situps and boy does it hurt to laugh these days!!! My abdominal muscles haven't ached like this in a good while... 

Had a good workout session tonight!  It is harder to workout after work the second and third day of working 12 hours shifts back to back.  My motivation is to get results!!! Oh not to forget my few minutes in the sauna that are very relaxing after a hard days work!!!  And soooo worth it!!

When I was a little younger, this was the regular routine.  I loved working out for 1 to 2 hours at least 4 days a week.  To maintain that exercise routine, it really does take a lot of discipline.  We all can get lazy, very easily.  Anyway, it's just wonderful to be able to stay motivated. 

Fitness is the key to a long and healthy life!!

Juicing

get healthy

What's the craze of juicing all about?

Green juice, carrot juice? Why is everyone doing it?

Truth is it's just plain simple. 
And healthy for you.
It's clearly falling into that all "raw food" diet. 
The purpose it turns out
is the less you cook your food or the more "raw" it is 
( not only unprocessed and more
whole) it is more "nutritive" or 
has more beneficial nutrients in it!

Why not give it a try? You may even find that you 
have more energy, more healthy skin
glow and all around good feeling?

So here's to you! I think I will have that carrot juice now! 
Have a fabulous weekend!

Until next time, happy juicing!

Try my hand at blogging....

Actually new to the blogging world. It is a little intimidating. I am comfortable enough with computers but...this is a whole new adventure. I am a nurse and love the whole healing aspect of my job. Words can impact a person so much as well as our actions. I hope that my blog will be inspirational and helpful at the same time. I am available for questions pertaining to health and nutrition. I can't claim to be an expert but I can only comment from my own experience, in a general sense.
