TEST TODAY! WOW

Hi!  So it's been a few days!  I have been so busy and today all the studying and listening and lectures comes together!  You may know I am a student at Integrative Nutrition.  You can check it out here!  But today - is our first TEST!  And then the Health Coaching begins in practice!  So looking forward to that step...one step closer to becoming an Holistic Health Coach!  

So you may ask why a health coach?  What's that all about?  Well the definition is not really simple but it is effective, for my purposes.  You see I let my health and the health of those I love and care about get down.  I chose to ignore my health while working full time, raising 2 amazing boys and being the primary caregiver to my Mother through her Alzheimer's Journey! I relied on the Medical Doctors to control my health and future and I did not do the things I knew to do for a very long time.  AND I had to wait until I bottomed in that area to create change in my life.  I had the benefit of many mentors on my health journey and an amazing array of products that supported me.  But not everyone has that opportunity or wants to even take a look.  I felt I needed to learn more and see how nutrition could play an even bigger role.  SO...now I am on that journey and I can not wait to share and mentor others.  

Step one on that path....education!  So join me on April 7th at SNAP Fitness in Radcliff for a conversation about labels!  What's really in there and why is it important?  Check it out!

NOT A SECRET! IT'S AGELESS!

So I will be bold and say my age....57!  I am concerned with aging...are you?  What do you think about when I say Aging?  Lines, Wrinkles, Cremes, Potions?  Do you think of aging from the inside out or just the outside? Is there something you can do to age gracefully?  I know I am aging...we all are...years add up...but we can choose to Age Gracefully!

Here's some information from a physicians point of view!

Can You Age Better?

It is my SECRET WEAPON!  It can be yours too!

OH MY.....THAT'S WHAT'S IN THERE?

Do you read labels?  The ingredients are important...what do you look for?  The breakdown of carbs, sugars, fats, proteins....that's important too!  And the most important I think...SERVING SIZE!  When you buy a bag or box of something, do you look to see how much you should be eating in a serving?  Next time you eat a cold cereal for breakfast pour your normal bowl...then before you add milk, measure what's in there!  Is it a serving?  Or more than a serving?  Now add your milk, does the amount you add match a serving?  One of the most important things about changing your lifestyle in the journey of getting healthy or healthier is being aware!  JOIN ME if you are local!

WHAT IS DIABETES?

So I signed up for a new blog....Full Plate Living...nice site!  And they are diabetes specialists.  How did they know I was diabetic?  I am ..TYPE2!

I have spent several years working on getting mine under control.  Diet, exercise and working with a diabetes educator and of course my Juice...all made a big difference for me.  I was on 4 pills, and 2 shots a day of Byetta when I began this healthy journey.  Now just down to 1 pill twice a day, and hopefully that will change after my next blood tests.

I really liked how this blog addresses "what is diabetes?"  So I wanted to share their blog link ...enjoy the learning and let me know how I can help you begin a healthy journey of your own to work on improving your numbers.  It is important...you don't want the side affects of poor control.  I watch my Grandmother pass away from diabetes complications, my Aunt from complications and my Great Grandmother also.  So do your self a favor....check out this blog and call me!

Health is a vehicle, not a destination!

Health is a vehicle, not a destination!  Do you agree?  What do you see as health?  Good health?  Do you have it now?  Are you working on getting it? What does it look like?  Why do you want to be healthy?  How would your life change if you were healthy, and why do you think your not?  What steps are taking right now?

All those above are things someone said to me once!  When I was not in a healthy place in my life.  I thought I was healthy, or rather as healthy as I could be for my "age"!  But I soon realized my age had nothing to do with it.  But my attitude about health did!  I was just like many of you...if I take a pill and it makes me feel better...I am healthy!  Right?

Over the last 4 years I have learned so much about health.  I have learned that it is not about the pills, not about the scale, more about the fit of my clothes and the absence of pills!  I took 7 pills to fix all the health issues that I had....and I did seriously believe as long as my issues were in control with a pill, I was good!  Then came all those questions?

I began to eliminate things from my life...stress, or how I managed it!  Toxins...what did I slather all over my skin in the hopes of maintaining my looks!  Yes, weight, and a change in pants size!  But  I also changed my outlook about life, my relationships with family and friends, my relationship with God, my self satisfaction, my career, my passions!  And I can say now I am healthy!  Are you in that happy, healthy place?  If you are not, I would love to help direct some changes in your life that may make a huge difference.  Please allow me to serve you, allow me to be of service for you...just let me know how you see health!

Oh and remember...comments are always appreciated,
