Change Is Good

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! I can't believe we are moving into Christmas and the New Year already! I want you to remember change is good even if it feels difficult and uncomfortable sometimes. Change helps us to grow, to reach goals, and to become the person

we are supposed to be. For the next week I am giving you fun homework! I want you to create a vision board, on a new poster board, in a new book or in your go-to-guide. Do a vision board on health, do one on how you want your room to look, or do one on what you want to be when you grow up. You choose. Just create. Your vision and goals grow and change all the time. This is a good thing! Find pictures or draw pictures. Write words or find them in a magazine. Let us see a picture of the changes you would like to see in your life. Have fun creating change!

Be Thankful!

The most asked question before Thanksgiving is "What are you thankful for?" Take a few minutes to close your eyes and take 3 big deep belly breaths while you are thinking of 3 things you are most thankful for in your life. If you do not take time to be grateful for the things you have, more great things can't come into your life. So today take a few minutes and express gratitude.
I am thankful for YOU!
Happy Thanksgiving!
xoxo

Gonna get moving TODAY!!!

Hi Pink girls.....hope your week is going well.   Mine is, but I have been very busy and didn't make time for my workout the last couple days.  I'm not gonna beat myself up about it--I'm just gonna start again today!!!  I think that I'm gonna do the ladder workout.  5 squats, 5 sit ups, 5 jumping jacks, 5 running mans and 5 lunges.  Then I'll do 4 squats, 4 sit ups, ......3 squats, 3 sit ups and so on.... all the way to 1.  You get it?  You should try it with me today.  I think I am going to finish my workout with a mile or 2 run and then stretch it out!  Let me know if you did it with me! 

My favorite things

Hi Pink girls  How is your new go to guide going?  Are you loving it as much as I am??  Today I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite things...

1.  My hot tea from Starbucks

2.  The new Michael Buble Christmas CD  (I know, I know, it's not even thanksgiving yet.  But I LOVE Chirstmas music!  I could listen to it year round---really I could!!)

3.  This new recipe I made with broiled tilapia with sauted onions, mushrooms, squash and tomatoes on the top---it was DELISH  :)

What are some of your favorite things.  Make a list and put it in your go to guide.  I think we need to spend more time appreciating the little things---because we will look back someday and realize they were the big things!  :)  Have a great day! 

Stay creative and be inspired!

Eating More Veggies

Here is a great way to get you and your kids to eat more vegetables... HIDE THEM!! No kidding. Researchers served familiar foods to 39 children aged 3-6 but with a catch: they modified the recipes. The foods - zucchini bread, pasta with tomato-based sauce and chicken noodle casserole - enhanced with broccoli, cauliflower, zucchini, tomatoes and squash. The vegetable substitutions lowered the calorie count of the foods. The kids rated "Yummy", "OK" or "Yucky" and 70% of them said "ok" or "yummy." I bet if they were given a side of steamed zucchini instead the vote would have been "YUCK." Mommies keep adding in those healthy foods.
