Wow, 62!!!

I’ve actually made it to 62 this July 1st! I can not wait to go to Glacier National Park and get my free pass. See… there are some great things about turning 62!!

I feel pretty good. Eating healthy and staying in shape has helped a ton. I’m enjoying my days and still working full time. I feel very blessed and have a ton of gratitude. I’ve experienced a lot of life journies and learned so many things… I thank God everyday for my life!!!

May you all have a great day and “live your life in the moment with passion, love and kindness”

 

First baseball game of the season!!

Out of work and my grandson has his first baseball get together (scrimmage). Can’t miss that so I need something quick for dinner?? I found this awesome canned tuna the other day: SustainableSeas packed in water, no salt added and no other additives!! Also 100% pole caught. So I did up my avocado mix added the tuna and had it on romaine lettuce leaves with some rice crackers. Turned out pretty good and great way to do the tuna without the bad for you mayo!  I also whipped up living intentionally simple’s haystack coconut oatmeal cookies. Very interesting, no added sugar and all healthy stuff… very good !! Thank you again seraireland for the awesome recipe. I added some dried blueberries to the recipe… yum!!

Great quick dinner and snack! Off shortly to the baseball scrimmage game :-). I won’t be able to stay to long as I have to go to bed early as I will need to get up at 3:30 A to get ready for work. I’m on the breakfast detail tomorrow morning!!

Enjoy your evening and live your life in the moment with passion, love and kindness 🙂

Great Dinner!!

Sticking with my healthy food plan tonight was organic chicken thighs baked in oven with a little olive oil, pepper and Celtic sea salt, organic wild brown rice mix and a wonderful green salad. I even made my own salad dressing with avocado, lemon juice, olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette. Right now, as I write this post, I am having warm tea made from a mix I put together of sliced lemons, fresh ginger and 100% raw honey. It is very, very good!

The next recipe I’m going to try, not tonight though as I am headed to bed soon, comes from a fellow blogger ( living intentionally simple ) who posted what looks like an awesome healthy cookie recipe (coconut oatmeal haystack cookies) that I can not wait to try. Thanks Seraireland :-).

I wish everyone a happy and healthy night 🙂

A new passion !!!

Eating healthy!!! I’ve been learning a lot more lately about the healthy foods and superfoods and healthy lifestyle. It is truly amazing how what you put into your mouth and eat affects your whole well being!!  It makes a huge impact on how you feel, the energy you have and the health of your body! Very amazing and definitely an eye opener. I have been doing this for awhile but now I’m really getting into it in a much more detailed way. It amazes me on all the variety and different ways to make delicious and healthy meals and snacks. No excuses for not doing it…. Why wouldn’t you want to feel the best you can and still enjoy what your eating?? Once you start eating this way you really don’t want to go back to junk eating, well– maybe every once in awhile :-), but really your body doesn’t want that stuff anymore. I have been able to keep off over 30lbs for over 2.5 years now and feel pretty good. I will be 61 in July and I want to be able to have energy and do things like hike, bike and enjoy life :-). I try to read everything I can on all the creative ways to fix healthy foods and the effects they have on ones body and health. Really fun stuff !!! I’m off to go make some homemade coconut bars and fudge bites with almond butter… and for dinner, steamed broccoli and salmon…  yum!! This is truly become a great passion of mine and my body thanks me for it… :-)!!

Eating Healthy !!!

Well… this healthy eating is killing me LoL!! I’ve got bone soup in my cockpot?? Protein green shakes for breakfast, my homemade trail mix of organic raisins, raw nuts, organic coconut, goji berries and organic cliff bar for snack!! Dinner is steamed or roasted veggies or maybe a salad with baked chicken or fish….   All kidding aside, I must say I do feel pretty good. I seem to have more energy, less brain fog and an all around feel better feeling. Lots of back on the track needed after all those holiday treats and goodies :-). Taking as much sugar out of your eating habits is definitely a great thing.

I made this really awesome hamburger in my iron skillet tonight. I have never tried that before and I will definitely cook it this way again! Ya, I know beef really isn’t the best but once in awhile okay….

Got to go now, morning comes quickly…. take care everyone and live your life in the moment with passion, love and kindness.

Back on the road to healthy, loose the sugar addiction!!

My feature of the week, in following the instructions for the Newbie Blog Award, is a healthy lifestyle. It is not an easy task to give up sugar. It is everywhere and in almost everything!!! But I must say that when I follow a healthy food plan I feel so much better and have a lot more energy!

Food as your medicine

 

Some superfood websites that I use

Just some websites that I have come across and use for my healthy eating choices:

1. This is one of the items I am addicted to for my shakes, health bars and snacks. Excellent source of raw power:  shake it, bake it, eat it raw. It is called SuperFood Mix and comes in a variety of flavors. I use the unsweetened Pumpkin Seed one. Yum… I found this while living in the Venice area of Florida and now that I am no longer in Florida I order it online. They give discounts when you order more then one.

2. This site is for hemp seed, goji berries and all that kind of stuff. They have these awesome raw vegan coconut wraps! Never hear of them before but ordered them a few weeks ago… wow! I made a Turkey wrap and it was excellent.Anyway This site is called Sunfood superfoods and they also have quit a variety to choose from.

Just thought I might share some of what I use in case anyone was looking for some different healthy ideas.
