HARD DAYS

Today is been very hard day. I went to work but  my Asthma started to act up. Which has have not happen in a long time. Something I really don't talk about on my blog. But In FEB of 2013 I got really sick ammonia and was out of work for two months. After that I valued to take care of my self better then I ever had. So I have been trying. But before I got sick I was always hurting. My back , neck and my arms and legs. The reason I'm writing this is for mom's after you have a baby if you feel you body is not right please go get checked . Because if you wait to long it will get really bad... Everyday is hard with all my pain and I have been in physical therapy for almost three months. I'm slowly getting better. I also take Omega 3 pills by Advocare now and multi vitamins.  Been eating better and going to start my Advocare cleanse soon. Also I have been trying to get my body moving more... I'm so sick of being sick... But every day is getting better. I have my wonderful family..

Kidney Walk and Healthier WAY OF LIFE

I have been working towards a healthier life style. So I have Joined the Advocare team and plan on doing more active activities like The Kidney walk on Nov 13 2013... This walk is very important to me. My Grandma got Kidney problems so for her to stay alive she needs to go to Dialysis. This is to keep the blood pumping within her Kidney's. Any money donated helps fund research for kidney's , equipment for Dialysis and much more. But I also walk to show my support for her. She means the world to me.

With Saying all this that is way it is so important to take care of your self and your family. With my family we do not eat out and we make home cook meals all the time. If we have to eat out we try to go to Boston Market . We do not eat ground beef. We eat turkey ground. Sounds funny but it taste great. I use it in my pasta, burgers,taco's, sloppy Joe's and more. I also keep fresh fruit cut up so we can all snack on and the baby loves it. We also make our own tea and eat veggies for a side dish in our meals. We just do these things to feel better. My Big Bubba(Daddy) drinks Spark from Advocare and loves it. He gives him good energy and when he comes down from it he still feels great . He does not feel tired at all. We are also going to be doing the Advocare cleanse soon. So we can get all the bad toxins out of our body. Also we are going to make sure we take the right supplements.

I'm so happy we are doing all these life style changes. If any one got questions about Advocare I will try to answer them ... But if I can't my sponsor Jenn @Bliss to Bean can help.. She great always here when I have questions. She looks amazing . I hope to get there like her also. 

Question!! What will you do to have a healthier life style? I would love to know

Being a Mama

Being a mom you tend to forget about taking care of your self. I know I did. But this last couple of weeks I feel like I'm dressing the way the use to, eating good and starting to use the make up I like again and Hair products. I buy everything for Julian and his Daddy I forget about me. any little thing helps you feel better.

I also take a bath every night to relax my body and it helps my recovery from all my Joint problems. Find something that makes you happy even if its only 30 mins a day.

Being a Mama you don't for get your dreams. I put all my dreams on the back burner. But this year I want start singing lessons again.. I hope to very much . I love music and acting . But one big dream I can say I DO HAVE IS MY SON. He is my world..

Being a Mama I love doing Things for Julian .. Being a Mama is Hard But I would never change it

Julian the Race Car Driver / Shopping Tips

This past Holiday weekend the family and I went to Scottsdale, Arizona at the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale Resort and Spa at Gainey. I will be posting those Photo's soon of our whole trip. Scottsdale is only about two hours away so we did not go too far.

But I have some great tips for a staycation

1. If you can book your trip in Advanced ( I booked my trip early and I got a better rate on my room.) Sometimes they have you pay in full but if you can its worth it ..because by the time the trip comes along you payed for it and don't have to worry.

2. Go to Walmart and get all your drinks and snacks. You save so much money. You can put all your drinks in the refrigerator, buy throw away cups, also get anything else you need. 

3. Bring your laptop so you can look up local places to eat. It saves you money if you do not want to eat at the hotel.

4. If you can buy a GPS or borrow one. It helps you so much. We had no you trouble getting around because it directed us to right where we needed to be.

5. If you see outlet stores  off the freeway.You can go there and save so much money on clothes. We went to Gap and it was 50% everything . Outlet stores are always a lot less then retail stores.

6. Just have fun and enjoy your family...

How to Relax your muscles

Its been a crazy week and a half. I have been so busy with work, physical therapy and getting ready for our trip I have not been blogging like I want too. I'm sorry for that. But I have some great news I signed up to be apart of the Advocare Team. I'm so happy to start my journey to a healthier Life. Thank you again Jenn with Bliss to Bean again for being there for me. It means so much to me. Its been very hard getting my body back to normal its going to take months but I'm happy to say the pain is getting better. It was so nice this week when I went to physical therapy they had a message therapist do a message on me to help me relax my muscles. It was great. After I'm done with physical therapy I'm going to make sure I keep doing exercises to relax my muscles. Here are some tips on how to relax your muscles.

1. Belly breathing  is very important to relax your mind and muscles.

2. Stretching your muscles helps decrease muscle stiffness.

3. Try to get at least 8 hours of sleep to help your mental functioning.

4. Get a message they can target area's that you can not get with stretching.

5. Take a bath, go into a sauna or steam room. This helps increase your blood circulation, transporting more oxygen and nutrients to your healing muscles. ( I take a hot bath every night. I sleep so much better.)

6. Drink green Tea. Green tea contains a number of antioxidants that serve to eliminate free radicals that have harmful effects on your body.( I drink green tea all the time it helps me sleep before bed aslo.)

Hope all these tips help you to healthier life.  Hope everyone is having a great day
