Child with ADHD
SO...we haven't had her tested, mainly because we don't want to think about medication and OTHER issues...But, we think my step-daughter is ADHD. We know there are ways to help control mild cases with diet and exercise and we want to, at least when she is with us, start monitoring things she eats and such. We are already…
What Vitamins do you take?
I am currently taking One-A-Day Multi-Vitamins for Women. BUT, at my first chiropractic appointment today, she told me that they weren't a great one to take. Something about the coating prevents it from dispersing throughout the body as it should and so it just passes thru and that is all. SO, what Multi-Vitamin do YOU…
Nabisco Brand Nilla Wafer Banana Pudding
SO...I made the Banana Pudding Recipe on the box of Nilla Wafers this weekend...I have been really wanting it, because my grandmother used to make it, and I am making room for it in my daily diet (eventhough there is too much sugar). I am going to try and TWEEK it a bit but, was just wondering if anyone else has and what…
PROTEIN filled snacks
So, I have noticed I need to increase my protein intake. I know I am most likely going to start get a Protein Powder/Shake to help supplement but...

Don't Compare Your life to others.
I just read a forum post about a woman wanting to "Sugar Detox" and, with my sugar issues and the large amount I have consumed in the past week, I thought I would read through. Now, I know what I personally have to do to get myself back on track, away from the sugar but, I was curious. Some people just really dont get…

Noticing Other People's Weight
OK, so, I am not saying this to be mean to ANYONE but, I have to ask. Since I have started trying to be more healthy and exercise, I tend to notice those around me, or those, through work, that have gained weight. WHY? There was a guy who came into the office yesterday that hadnt been here in awhile and I noticed that he…
Breakfast Ideas?
So, I currently eat cereal for breakfast just about everyday because, it is quick and easy and i can take it to work with me. But, I have noticed that it is difficult to find low sugar cereal that isnt so bland! I like Cheerios and Chex but, they get boring after while. I used to eat Special K but, have noticed that the…

Any Trainer you want?
If you could have ANY Fitness Trainer you wanted, who would you pick (famous or not)? Mind you, no $$ or contest or anything involved, if there were no limit on anything, WHO? I personally would LOVE to have Chris Powell (Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss). HE is caring yet strict and knows how to read people, their strengths…

I wasnt too concerned about it until lately, I have heard that Clean Eating is a great "way of eating" for those with Thyroid issues.

In December, I noticed some serious mood issues that were literally…
Comparing other people to yourself
I have to admit, sometimes it URKS me when people try to COMPARE themselves to others with life experience or circumstances. People deal with their time and circumstances differently then other people, people do things differently then other people, people HANDLE things differently then other people. God made each and…
New and Determined
For most of my life, I have been "different" when it comes to the Body. I have always been tall and for the LONGEST time, I had the HARDEST time finding clothes. The major issue, besides being tall, was that, I Guess it was thought that if you were tall, you also had to be thin! I so was NOT thin!! I wasnt heavy but, I was…
