THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR WEIGHT LOSS KICKS IN TO HIGH GEAR.....
BEING A WEIGHT LOSS CONSULTANT IT'S COMMON TO SEE PEOPLE START THEIR FOCUS ON LOSING WEIGHT RIGHT BEFORE THE HOLIDAYS OPPOSE TO AFTER. ONE REASON I'VE DISCOVERED IS WE ALL KNOW WHAT'S A HEAD OF US, THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS, SWEETS, PARTIES, ETC... YOU GET THE PICTURE. IN MY OPINION IT'S SUCH A GREAT IDEA TO START SOME SIMPLE LIFESTYLE CHANGES HERE IN OCTOBER. THIS WAY YOU'RE ABLE TO GET SOME HABITS UNDER YOUR BELT BEFORE YOU ATTEMPT TO GO THROUGH THE HUGE LINE OF THANKSGIVING CHOICES. I ALWAYS TELL MY PATIENTS IT TAKES 28 DAYS TO BREAK A HABIT, SO WHY NOT START NOW!
WHETHER YOU'RE A SUGAR-HOLIC OR A SALT-HOLIC YOU CAN DO THIS TRUST ME!
GRAB SOME ACCOUNTABILITY, JOURNAL WHAT YOU ARE EATING AND DRINKING EVERYDAY AND START OUT WITH AT LEAST 3 DAYS A WEEK WALKING FOR 30 MINUTES. AFTER TWO WEEKS BUMP IT UP TO 5 DAYS A WEEK!
JESUS SPEAKING: "REMEMBER THAT ALL GOOD THINGS---YOUR POSSESSIONS, YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS, YOUR HEALTH AND ABILITIES, YOUR TIME--ARE GIFTS FROM ME. INSTEAD OF FEELING ENTITLED TO ALL THESE BLESSINGS, RESPOND TO THEM WITH GRATITUDE. BE PREPARED TO LET GO OF ANYTHING I TAKE FROM YOU, BUT NEVER LET GO OF MY HAND!" "THOUGH THE PROCESS OF AGING CONTINUES, INWARDLY YOU GROW STRONGER WITH THE PASSING YEARS. THOSE WHO LIVE CLOSE TO ME DEVELOP AN INNER ALIVENESS THAT MAKES THEM SEEM YOUTHFUL IN SPITE OF THEIR YEARS. LET MY LIFE SHINE THROUGH YOU, AS YOU WALK IN THE LIGHT WITH ME."
"THAT IS THE SECRET OF SUCCESS IN MY KINGDOM." (1)

THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE. LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD TODAY! PSALM 118:24
IN ORDER TO HEAR MY VOICE, YOU MUST RELEASE ALL YOUR WORRIES INTO MY CARE. ENTRUST TO ME EVERYTHING THAT CONCERNS YOU. THIS CLEARS THE WAY FOR YOU TO SEEK MY FACE UNHINDERED. LET ME FREE YOU FROM FEAR THAT IS HIDING DEEP INSIDE YOU. SIT QUIETLY IN MY PRESENCE, ALLOWING MY LIGHT TO SOAK INTO YOU AND DRIVE OUT ANY DARKNESS LODGED WITHIN YOU.
ACCEPT EACH DAY JUST AS IT COMES TO YOU, REMEMBERING THAT I AM SOVEREIGN OVER YOUR LIFE. REJOICE IN THIS DAY THAT I HAVE MADE, TRUSTING THAT I AM ABUNDANTLY PRESENT IN IT. INSTEAD OF REGRETTING OR RESENTING THE WAY THINGS ARE, THANK ME IN ALL CIRCUMSTANCES TRUST ME AND DON'T BE FEARFUL; THANK ME AND REST IN MY SOVEREIGNTY. (1)
SO WENT TO ONE OF BILLY WEASE'S CLASSES AGAIN LAST NIGHT, SUCH GREAT INFORMATION! HIS CLASSES INCLUDE: DETOX AND GI HEALTH, ORAL HEALTH/PEMF THERAPY (PAIN), HOLISTIC MEDICAL BODY WORK (BOWEN THERAPY), NATURAL HORMONES (WOMEN AND MEN), OSTEOPOROSIS, DIABETES/HEART DISEASE/CHOLESTEROL, LOSING AND KEEPING THE FAT OFF, IMPROVING YOUR THYROID FUNCTION AND CANCER AWARENESS/IMMUNE SYSTEM. STOP BY THE GASTONIA PHARMACY ON FRANKLIN BLVD. AND GET SOME INFO ABOUT THEIR HEALTHY AGING CLUB. IT'S SO HELPFUL, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU KEEP HITTING A BRICK WALL WHEN YOUR DOCTORS CONTINUALLY GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND! WE HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE AND EDUCATE OURSELVES AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE AND NOT SOLELY RELY ON EVERY SINGLE THING THE DOCTOR TELLS US, HELLO THEY'RE ONLY HUMAN AND WHAT THEY WEREN'T TAUGHT IN MED SCHOOL THEY DON'T KNOW RIGHT? THERE'S ALWAYS ALTERNATIVES! I KNOW THIS TO BE TRUE BECAUSE OF MY OWN HEALTH TOPICS ALONG WITH MY FAMILIES! GOAL THIS NEW YEAR, GET EDUCATED! THE MORE WE KNOW THE MORE WE ARE CONSCIOUS OF WHAT WE'RE CONSUMING OR DOING, RIGHT?
*HEY TIP FOR THE DAY: SOME BENEFITS ON GINGER ROOT
DID YOU KNOW GINGER HELPS NOT ONLY WITH (GASTROINTESTINAL RELIEF) MOTION SICKNESS, ESPECIALLY SEASICKNESS, NAUSEA, VOMITING AND COLD SWEATING. GREAT AND SAFE FOR MORNING SICKNESS DURING PREGNANCY. IT ALSO HAS ANTI-INFLAMMATORY EFFECTS. THESE VERY POTENT COMPOUNDS ARE CALLED GINGEROLS. IF YOU SUFFER FROM OSTEOARTHRITIS OR RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS REDUCTIONS IN PAIN LEVELS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN MOBILITY CAN HELP WHEN YOU CONSUME GINGER REGULARLY. GINGER CAN ALSO HOLD TRUE TO PROTECTION AGAINST COLORECTAL CANCER. GINGEROLS, THE MAIN ACTIVE COMPONENTS IN GINGER AND THE ONES RESPONSIBLE FOR ITS DISTINCTIVE FLAVOR, MAY ALSO INHIBIT THE GROWTH OF HUMAN COLORECTAL CANCER CELLS, SUGGESTS RESEARCH PRESENTED AT THE FRONTIERS IN CANCER PREVENTION RESEARCH, A MAJOR MEETING OF CANCER EXPERTS. ANOTHER GREAT FINDING FOR US FEMALES IS TO KNOW THAT GINGER INDUCES CELL DEATH IN OVARIAN CANCER CELLS. LAB EXPERIMENTS PRESENTED AT THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION FOR CANCER, BY DR. REBECCA LUI AND HER COLLEAGUES FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, SHOWED THAT GINGEROLS, THE ACTIVE PHYTONUTRIENTS IN GINGER, KILL OVARIAN CANCER CELLS BY INDUCING APOPTOSIS (PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH) AND AUTOPHAGOCYTOSIS (SELF DIGESTION). GINGER EXTRACTS HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO HAVE BOTH ANTIOXIDANT, ANTI-INFLAMMATORY AND ANTI- TUMOR EFFECTS ON CELLS. WOW THIS IS COOL BUT ONE LAST THING, GINGER CAN BE AN IMMUNE BOOSTING ACTION THAT WOULD CONTRIBUTE TO FIGHT OFF INFECTIONS. IT CAN HELP PROMOTE HEALTHY SWEATING, DURING COLDS AND FLU. A GOOD SWEAT MAY DO A LOT MORE THAN ASSIST IN DETOXIFICATION. THERE IS A GENE WHEN WE GO THROUGH A HEALTHY SWEAT THAT HELPS FIGHT MICROORGANISMS, INCLUDING BACTERIA SUCH AS E. COLI AND STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS ( A COMMON CAUSE OF SKIN INFECTIONS), AND FUNGI, INCLUDING CANDIDA ALBICANS.
WELL TODAY'S GOING TO BE A GREAT DAY! ENJOY SOME GINGER AND WE'LL CHAT SOON!

PROBIOTIC REVOLUTION
SO DO YOU KNOW JUST HOW IMPORTANT IT IS FOR US TO BE ON PROBIOTICS?...... I STARTED USING PROBIOTICS SEVEN YEARS AGO. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS I HAVEN'T BEEN CONSISTENT WITH THEM AT ALL. AT THIS POINT THE GENERAL PUBLIC HAS HEARD OF GOOD BACTERIA IN YOGURT AT LEAST, RIGHT? WELL THAT'S ANOTHER STORY I'M NOT BIG AT ALL IN GETTING MY PROBIOTICS FROM THAT SOURCE. THROUGH A FOUR YEAR BATTLE WITH CANDIDA, (STARTING SEVEN YEARS AGO) REALLY GOT ME TO RESEARCH PROBIOTICS AND VIEW THEM IN A WHOLE NEW WAY. CANDIDA IS A FORM OF OVER ACTING YEAST THAT CAN ENTER YOUR BLOOD STREAM, AFFECT YOUR MOODS, CREATE MASSIVE FATIGUE, OVERALL IT TAKES OVER YOUR HEALTH 100%. I WAS DESPERATE FOR HELP AND AFTER GOING FROM DOCTOR TO DOCTOR, SPECIALIST TO SPECIALIST, I THREW MY HANDS UP AND DECIDED TO "PATIENT HEAL THYSELF" AS JORDAN RUBIN PUTS IT. CANDIDA AFFECTS MALES AND FEMALES, THE PROBLEM IS IT GETS MISDIAGNOSED MOST OF THE TIME OR SOME DOCTORS WANT TO DISMISS IT AND PUT YOU ON A PRESCRIPTION DRUG THAT ONLY MASK THE PROBLEM.
WELL I'M PERSONALLY THANKFUL I HAD TO GO THROUGH ALL THAT BECAUSE IT HELPED ME CHANGE THE WAY I LIVE. I WENT FROM A DIET THAT WAS DESTROYING MY HEALTH TO HEALTHY LIFESTYLE CHANGES THAT MADE ME HEALTHY AGAIN! AT 26 YEARS OLD I STARTED EXERCISING ON A REGULAR BASIS. I ALREADY HAD ONE GOOD HABIT GOING FOR ME. SO WHEN THE CANDIDA STARTED I SIMPLY BEGAN TO CHANGE THE WAY I ATE. AT THAT TIME I DID START ORGANIC FOODS, LAYED OFF THE SWEETS, GOT RID OF SOFT DRINKS FOREVER, STARTED SOME JUICING AND DRANK WATER LIKE IT WAS GOING OUT OF STYLE. SLOWLY BUT SURELY MY BODY WENT THROUGH SOME DETOXING AND I WAS ON MY WAY TO A HEALTHIER ME.
SINCE THEN I'VE GONE THROUGH DIFFERENT STAGES, DIFFERENT DIETS AND ENTERING MY 30'S I STARTED WANTING SWEETS LIKE CRAZY, UGHHHHH! THANKFULLY YEAR AFTER YEAR I'VE BEEN ABLE TO LISTEN TO MY BODY, WHETHER IT'S TELLING ME TO INCREASE SOMETHING, SLACK OFF SOMETHING OR LIKE THE LAST TWO YEARS INCREASE EXERCISE BIG TIME! IN MY OPINION OUR BODY NEEDS FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH CHANGE EVERY TEN YEARS. SO FROM OUR 20'S, 30'S, 40'S, 50'S AND UP OUR EXERCISE REGIMEN SHOULD BE CHANGING, OUR CHOICES IN DIET SHOULD CHANGE AND OUR SUPPLEMENT CHOICES SHOULD ALSO CHANGE.
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME FACTS ON PROBIOTICS, WHICH BY THE WAY WERE THE VERY FIRST THING I STARTED WHEN I WAS ON MY MISSION TO RID CANDIDA AND HEAL MYSELF!
* TRILLIONS OF FRIENDLY BACTERIA ARE IN OUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM, MOSTLY IN THE GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT. PROBIOTICS, MEANING "FOR LIFE," ARE DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS CONTAINING BENEFICIAL BACTERIA THAT ARE TAKEN TO HELP MAINTAIN A HEALTHY BALANCE BETWEEN GOOD BACTERIA AND PATHOGENIC BACTERIA, WHICH ARE HARMFUL TO THE SYSTEM. RESEARCHERS ARE DISCOVERING THAT PROBIOTICS OFFER MANY VARIED HEALTH BENEFITS. THEY HELP BETTER OUR DIGESTIVE SYSTEM AND BOOST IMMUNITY. ALSO, THEY AID IN NUTRIENT ASSIMILATION; WEIGHT CONTROL; MAINTAIN A NORMAL INFLAMMATION RESPONSE; AND SUPPORT HEALTHY BLOOD LIPIDS. EXPERTS SUCH AS DR. S.K. DASH, FOUNDER OF UAS LABS AND ONE OF THE WORLD'S LEADING PROBIOTIC EXPERTS, NOTE THAT PROBIOTICS ARE "MORE IMPORTANT TO TAKE DAILY THAN A MULTIVITAMIN."
PROBLEM IS YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU GET FROM JUST ANY BRAND OF PROBIOTICS. I WILL TELL YOU RIGHT NOW IF YOU'RE GETTING YOURS FROM CHAIN PHARMACY'S YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND CHUNK THEM IN THE TRASH. SO IF YOUR PHYSICIAN TELLS YOU TO GO GET ON A PROBIOTIC, AS MY DAUGHTERS PEDIATRICIAN HAS BEFORE, MAKE SURE IT'S TOP QUALITY. SURVEYS BY GROUPS SUCH AS CONSUMERLAB.COM HAVE SHOWN ALTOGETHER TOO MANY BRANDS SIMPLY DON'T PROVIDE THE AMOUNT OF BENEFICIAL BACTERIA LISTED ON THE LABEL, WHILE OTHER STRAINS DON'T HAVE THE PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF HEALTH BENEFITS DISCERNING CONSUMERS DEMAND.
IF YOU WANT HIGH QUALITY SUPPLEMENTS SUCH AS PROBIOTICS GO TO PRESCRIPTIONS PLUS AND I GUARANTEE YOU'LL GET THEM.
PROBIOTICS CAN PASS THROUGH STOMACH ACID AND SETTLE IN THE INTESTINES, FROM THAT POINT THEY BEGIN TO MULTIPLY. ALSO, YOU SHOULD INCORPORATE PREBIOTIC WITH PROBIOTICS TO ENHANCE ITS GROWTH IN THE INTESTINES.
*MY HOPE IS, IS THAT MORE PHYSICIANS WILL GET ON BOARD WITH ENCOURAGING PATIENTS TO INCLUDE PROBIOTICS IN THEIR PATIENTS LIFESTYLE BECAUSE FOR ME PERSONALLY IT HAS MADE A HUGE DIFFERENCE OVER THE YEARS IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT FACTORS REGARDING MY HEALTH AS WELL AS MY CHILDREN'S HEALTH!

NOT YOUR AVERAGE PHARMACY......
A PHARMACY THAT GOES THE EXTRA MILE WITH THE CUSTOMER....
BEING A PHARMACIST IS IN BILLY WEASE'S GENES. HIS DAD, BILL WAS A PHARMACIST FOR 35 YEARS. YOUNG BILLY WORKED IN HIS DAD'S PHARMACY, THE MEDICINE SHOPPE IN GASTONIA, WHERE HE LEARNED HE LOVED TO TALK TO PEOPLE AND HE LIKED THE EXPERIENCE OF HELPING PEOPLE.
BILLY WEASE THEN FOLLOWED IN HIS DAD'S FOOTSTEPS AND GRADUATED FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL OF PHARMACY IN CHAPEL HILL IN 1990. IN 1994 BILLY AND HIS WIFE, BETH, WHO IS ALSO A PHARMACIST, OPENED PRESCRIPTIONS PLUS PHARMACY AT 1614 WEST FRANKLIN BOULEVARD IN GASTONIA. THREE AND A HALF YEARS AGO, THEY EXPANDED TO KINGS MOUNTAIN AND OPENED AN ADDITIONAL STORE AT 703 E. KING STREET.
PRESCRIPTIONS PLUS OFFERS A "PLUS" ON MANY LEVELS. NOT JUST A PLACE TO GET A PRESCRIPTION FROM YOUR DOCTOR FILLED, THE PHARMACY OFFERS COMPOUNDING, NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS AND EDUCATIONAL CLASSES ON VARIOUS HEALTH TOPICS AMONG OTHER SERVICES.
"COMPOUNDING," BILLY WEASE EXPLAINS, "INVOLVES PERSONALIZED THERAPIES AND DOSAGE FORMS FOR EACH PATIENT. COMPOUNDING ALLOWS DOCTORS MORE OPTIONS REGARDING STRENGTHS AND DOSAGE FORMS BECAUSE WE CAN CUSTOMIZE THESE TO THE PATIENT."
HE CONTINUES, "COMPOUNDING ALLOWS THE PHARMACIST TO MAKE THE PRESCRIPTION IN MANY DIFFERENT FORMS: LIQUID, CAPSULE, TOPICAL, SPRAY, CREAM, INHALER, LOLLIPOP, OR SUPPOSITORY. THIS IS IMPORTANT WHEN YOU HAVE A CHILD OR AN ELDERLY PERSON THAT NEEDS THE PRESCRIPTION IN A LIQUID FORM OR LOLLIPOP RATHER THAN A BIG CAPSULE. WE CAN EVEN COMPOUND FOR PETS AS WELL."
IN ADDITION, PRESCRIPTIONS PLUS HAS THREE STAFF MEMBERS WHO ARE MEMBERS OF THE PROFESSIONAL COMPOUNDING CENTERS OF AMERICA (PCCA). PCCA PROVIDES ACCREDITATION COUNCIL FOR PHARMACY EDUCATION (ACPE) - ACCREDITED PRIMARY AND ASEPTIC COMPOUNDING COURSES.
WEASE ALSO HAS A PARTICULAR INTEREST IN NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION AND RELATED FUNCTIONAL MEDICINES. WITH 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN NUTRITIONAL COUNSELING, HE ALSO IS A MEMBER OF FELLOWSHIP IN ANTI-AGING, REGENERATIVE AND FUNCTIONAL MEDICINE PROVIDED BY THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ANTI-AGING MEDICINE. THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF ANTI-AGING MEDICINE IS THE LARGEST ANTI-AGING EDUCATIONAL/PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR DOCTORS, PHARMACISTS, AND OTHER HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS.
BILLY AND BETH WEASE BELIEVE STRONGLY IN THE FASTER, MORE PERSONAL SERVICE AND THE HOMETOWN APPEAL AND CONNECTIONS OF THEIR OPERATION. "WE WANT OUR PATRONS TO BE COMFORTABLE AND FEEL THEY CAN SIT AND TALK TO THE PHARMACIST," BILLY WEASE SAYS. TO THAT END, PRESCRIPTIONS PLUS ALSO OFFERS A NUMBER OF FREE SERVICES, INCLUDING BLOOD SUGAR CHECKS, BLOOD PRESSURE CHECKS, DRUG NUTRIENT DEPLETION CONSULTS, AND DRUG INTERACTION AND SIDE EFFECTS CONSULTS.
CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE "HEALTHY LIVING AND AGING CLUB." WEASE EXPLAINS THE CLUB OFFERS ONGOING EDUCATION RESOURCES TO TEACH FOLKS ABOUT HEALTH AND WELLNESS. THIS INCLUDES 12 CLASSES ON SUCH SUBJECTS AS HEALTHY EATING, ORGANIC GARDENING, HEART DISEASE, DIABETES, WEIGHT LOSS, THYROID, DETOX THERAPY, GASTRO-INTESTINAL HEALTH, ORAL HEALTH, BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE REPLACEMENT THERAPY, NUTRITION, OSTEOPOROSIS, AND KANGEN WATER. THE CLASSES ARE OFFERED AFTER WORK HOURS FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE CUSTOMER.
WEASE FEELS STRONGLY IT IS IMPORTANT TO EDUCATE HIS PATRONS. "I WANT TO INFORM PEOPLE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS OF DRUGS," HE SAYS, "AND EDUCATE THEM ON NUTRIENT DEPLETION CAUSED BY DRUGS. THIS IS AS IMPORTANT AS THE PRESCRIPTION ITSELF.
"AS A PHARMACIST," HE ADDS, "I FEEL THAT EVERYONE SHOULD KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE TAKING. THE DOCTORS I WORK WITH REALLY APPRECIATE THAT I KEEP MY DRUG NUTRIENT EDUCATION CURRENT AND PROVIDE THIS SERVICE TO HELP THEIR PATIENTS. I'M SIMPLY A SAFETY NET THAT ENSURES PATIENTS WILL BE INFORMED ON EVERY PRESCRIPTION.
"MY JOB IS NOT TO DIAGNOSE OR PRESCRIBE, BUT TO PROVIDE AND EXPLAIN THE IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE LABEL RARELY DISCUSSED BY THE PHARMACIST. THIS MAKES PRESCRIPTIONS PLUS DIFFERENT BECAUSE WE TAKE THE EXTRA TIME TO MAKE SURE THE PATIENT IS WELL INFORMED."

RESEARCHING.......
BETTER LATE THAN NEVER, HAHA! IT'S 9:30 AT NIGHT AND SOMEBODY GAVE ME SOME KANGEN WATER DVD'S TO CHECK OUT AND MAN WOULD I LOVE TO SHARE THEM WITH EVERY PERSON IN OUR COMMUNITY OR AT LEAST ALL YOU GUYS!:)
I MEAN I'VE GONE TO A COUPLE SEMINARS AND HAVE SEEN THE DEMONSTRATIONS OF HOW EVERYTHING FROM ENERGY DRINKS, GATORADE, JUICE, SOFT DRINKS, TAP WATER, BOTTLED WATER (YES EVEN SMART WATER IS REALLY DUMB, LOL), AND FILTERED WATER ARE ALL ACIDIC. I KNOW YOU ARE THINKING WHAT, HOW IS THAT, TRUST ME I HAD TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT. DID YOU KNOW DASANI WATER IS ILLEGAL IN JAPAN! YEP IT'S ACIDIC TOO. MAYBE THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE REASONS JAPAN IS #1 IN LONGEVITY AND #1 IN HEALTH CARE. LORD HELP US BUT THE U.S. IS #38, SERIOUSLY!
THE DVD I WATCHED HAD A FEW PHYSICIANS WHO WERE SUPPORTERS OF KANGEN WATER AND A DENTIST WHO ACTUALLY USES THE WATER IN HER PRACTICE. SHE HELPS TREAT PATIENTS IN HER OFFICE WITH BLEEDING, TO SANITIZE AND TO DO DEEP CLEANING ON HER PATIENTS TO PREVENT PERIODONTAL DISEASE. (PERIODONTAL DISEASE AFFECTS 75% OF PEOPLE WHO WON'T EVEN REALIZE IT UNTIL IT'S TO LATE)
DR. HORST FILTZER IS A GRADUATE OF HARVARD AND HAS BEEN AFFILIATED WITH THAT INSTITUTION THROUGHOUT HIS WHOLE CAREER. HE HAD LOTS OF GREAT FACTS AND POINTS TO MAKE ABOUT THE WATER BUT HE SAID ONE OF THE BEST THINGS BESIDES BEING APART OF HARVARD THAT HE'S EVER BEEN APART OF IS HIS AFFILIATION WITH KANGEN WATER. I'M JUST SAYING!!!
DO YOU KNOW WHAT SAD STANDS FOR, WELL LET ME BREAK IT DOWN FOR YOU..... S - STANDARD, A - AMERICAN, D - DIET; IT IS PRETTY SAD WOULDN'T YOU AGREE?
OK SO I'VE DISCOVERED THIS AMAZING AND WHAT SHOULD BE CRUCIAL TO ALL OF OUR DIETS, KANGEN WATER, BUT WE CAN'T STOP THERE. WE'VE GOT TO START INCLUDING NATURAL FOODS, MANAGING STRESS, EXERCISE, SO THAT WE CAN UTILIZE WHAT KANGEN WATER CAN ACTUALLY DO FOR ALL OF US! IT'S ALL ABOUT REACHING OPTIMAL HEALTH!!
I'M GOING TO TRY AND GET COPIES OF THESE DVD'S IF ANYBODY IS INTERESTED. I'LL GET BACK WITH YOU ON THOSE. BUT UNTIL THEN RESEARCH IT YOURSELF, START DRINKING IT FOR AT LEAST A MONTH.
I'LL BE AT PRESCRIPTION PLUS THIS THURSDAY NIGHT AT 7:00 IN KINGS MOUNTAIN FOR ONE OF BILLY'S SEMINARS. HIS NEXT KANGEN WATER SEMINAR IS ON SEPTEMBER 29 AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE EVEN A LITTLE CURIOUS DON'T MISS IT, YOU'LL THANK YOURSELF FOR GOING AND PROBABLY ME! HAHA!
BY THE WAY BACK TO THE FDA THING FROM YESTERDAY:) JUST TO CLUE YOU SKEPTICS IN THE KANGEN MACHINE IS THE ONLY FDA MEDICALLY APPROVED WATER MACHINE. JUST SAYING............:)))))

Do You Focus On Weight Loss Or Health More?........
OK MY THOUGHTS ON THIS ARE, MOST OF US HAVE ALWAYS BEEN WAY TOO FOCUSED ON OUR WEIGHT OPPOSE TO OUR HEALTH. YA'LL KNOW I'M RIGHT, I'M ONE OF YOU, LOL! THE PROBLEM WITH THAT IS THAT YOU CAN'T GET ON A SCALE AND 100% KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON. HELLO! FOR INSTANCE WHEN I START USING MORE WEIGHTS WHEN WORKING OUT WHAT DO YOU THINK THE SCALES DO, YEP, GO UP. OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE MUSCLE WEIGHS MORE THAN FAT. SO WHEN I HAVE A PATIENT WHO ODDLY ENOUGH LOOSES 40LBS OVERNIGHT THAT IS A RED FLAG TO ME THAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY PROBABLY LOOSING 80% LEAN BODY MASS AND 20% UNHEALTHY FAT. RAPID WEIGHT LOSS IN SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IS NOT HEALTHY AND YOU'RE BASICALLY SETTING YOURSELF UP TO PUT BACK NOT ONLY THE WEIGHT YOU JUST LOST BUT DOUBLE SOMETIMES TRIPLE THE WEIGHT BACK ON.
MY BELIEF IS IF WE WOULD TURN OUR FOCUS MORE ON OUR HEALTH FIRST, THEN GUYS, OUR UNHEALTHY FAT WILL FOR SURE COME OFF!
DEPENDING ON WHAT YOUR DIET CONSIST OF ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WILL CRAVE, HOW MUCH YOU'LL BE HUNGRY DURING THE DAY AND HOW YOU WILL FEEL!
PUT YOUR IMAGINATION TO WORK AND THINK ABOUT THIS BIBLICALLY FOR A MOMENT........WHAT DO YOU THINK GOD INTENDED FOR US TO EAT IN THE FIRST PLACE?............I'LL JUST LET YOU GUYS PONDER OVER THAT ONE. HOWEVER, I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW IT WASN'T ANYTHING PROCESSED, FROM CANS, PRESERVATIVES, SOFT DRINKS, SUGAR, SUGAR, SUGAR AND SUGAR. HAHAHA! HEY AND THIS IS COMING FROM A GIRL WHO FORMED AN ADDICTION TO SWEETS IN HER 30'S HAHAHA! I TITLED MY BLOG REALISTIC CARRIE FOR A REASON AND THAT'S BECAUSE I'M NOT A FANATIC WHEN IT COMES TO WHAT FOODS I EAT I'M SIMPLY MUCH MORE AWARE OF WHAT MY BODY NEEDS FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH THAT IT HELPS ME STAY CONSCIOUS OF WHAT I'M EATING. LOOK MY BIRTHDAY IS NEXT MONTH, DON'T THINK I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE SOME CAKE FROM MY ALL TIME FAVORITE, EDIBLE ART IN CHARLOTTE! AND DON'T THINK I'M NOT GOING TO HAVE MY CHEAT DAYS OF THINGS THAT ARE SO NOT GOOD FOR ME BUT HOLLA THEY'RE SO GOOD TO ME!!!! I CAN TELL YOU THE ONLY THINGS I WILL EVER, EVER DRINK DURING THE DAY IS OF COURSE MY KANGEN WATER, MY ONE TO TWO CUPS OF COFFEE IN THE MORNING AND ON OCCASION MY GUILTY PLEASURE IS RED WINE. THANK GOD FOR ANTIOXIDANTS! LOL!
OUR BODIES WAKE UP DEHYDRATED SO THE FIRST THING I DO WHEN I GET OUT OF BED IS HYDRATE MY BODY WITH 32OZ OF KANGEN WATER, THEN I'LL HAVE A CUP OF COFFEE. USUALLY I GO WORKOUT AT THAT POINT, SO AS I'M LEAVING THE GYM I DRINK 32 MORE OZ ON THE WAY HOME. THIS IS WHEN I WOULD HAVE A SECOND CUP OF COFFEE WHILE I'M DOING MY BLOG OR DEVOTION. WELL WE ALL KNOW THAT FOR EVERY CUP OF COFFEE WE AT LEAST NEED TWO TO THREE CUPS OF WATER TO MAKE UP FOR THE DEHYDRATION COFFEE CREATES, SO I CONTINUE ON FOR THE REST OF THE DAY CONSTANTLY DRINKING MY KANGEN WATER AND BEFORE I KNOW IT I'VE DRANK A GALLON OR GALLON AND A HALF. I CALL IT MY MIRACLE WATER NOW BECAUSE I'VE NOTICED A HUGE DIFFERENCE SINCE I'VE BEEN DRINKING IT. GUYS THE GOAL FOR ANY OF US SHOULD BE TO TRY OUR BEST TO MAKE OUR BODIES AS ALKALINE AS POSSIBLE BUT IN THIS SOCIETY THAT IS HARD TO DO. REMEMBER DISEASES AND CANCER CAN NOT LIVE IN AN ALKALINE ENVIRONMENT. SO EVEN THOUGH MY DIET CONSIST OF ACIDIC FOODS BY DRINKING 9.5 KANGEN WATER MY GOAL IS TO TRY AND BALANCE OUT THE ACIDIC VS. ALKALINE. MY BELIEF IS TO TRULY HAVE AN OPINION YOU MUST BE PRO-ACTIVE IN WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO HAVE AN OPINION ABOUT!
OK SO BACK TO THE BASICS, OUR HEALTH. THINK ABOUT IT LOW NUTRIENT EATING FUELS ADDICTIVE BAD EATING HABITS. I HEARD A PHYSICIAN SAY IN MEDICAL SCHOOL THEY LEARNED IN MEDICAL TERMS THAT THE WORD ADDICT MEANS TO TAKE SOMETHING IN THAT'S GOING TO MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER. WELL DUH MAKES SINCE RIGHT? LET'S PUT SOME FOCUS ON MICRO NUTRIENTS, WHICH ARE NUTRIENTS REQUIRED BY HUMANS IN SMALL AMOUNTS TO ORCHESTRATE A WHOLE RANGE OF PHYSIOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS, IN WHICH WE CAN NOT PRODUCE ALL ON OUR OWN. LACK OF MICRO NUTRIENTS CAN CAUSE SICKNESS, DISEASES, ETC... UMMM I'M STILL LEARNING BUT DANG THIS MAKES SINCE THAT WE CAN HAVE INCREDIBLE HEALTH THROUGH OUR DIET AND THINGS LIKE PAYING MORE ATTENTION TO MEANINGS OF WORDS LIKE, MICRO NUTRIENTS. SIMPLY ADD MORE, RAW, VEGGIES, FRUITS, WHOLE GRAINS AND HEALTHY FATS. OK THIS IS SO TYPICAL OF A PERSON WHO IS OVERWEIGHT BUT EATS SALADS ALL DAY EVERY DAY; THEY'LL CONSUME 330 CALORIES JUST FROM THEIR SALAD DRESSING OPPOSE TO THE 30 CALORIES THEIR WHOLE SALAD IS. HOW BACKWARDS IS THAT!
HEARD A TRUE STORY ABOUT A GUY NAMED SCOTT, HE WAS 500LBS AND HE LOST 325 TO 330LBS BECAUSE HE STOPPED FOCUSING ON DIETS AND LOOSING WEIGHT AND STARTED FOCUSING ON HIS HEALTH. AWESOME, RIGHT, WELL THAT JUST PROVES IT'S POSSIBLE AND FULL PROOF UNLIKE DIETS.
DID YOU KNOW SOMETIMES WE MIGHT THINK WE'RE HUNGRY BUT ACTUALLY WE'RE NOT AT ALL. IF WE'RE TRYING TO ALWAYS EAT PORTION CONTROL ALONE, WHICH BY THE WAY I DO FAVOR, HOWEVER, WHEN WE DO THIS SOMETIMES WE'RE NOT GETTING ADEQUATE FIBER AND MICRO NUTRIENTS WHICH THEN TURNS INTO HUNGER SENSATIONS AND CRAVINGS. TRUE HUNGER COMES FROM THE MOUTH AND THROAT. MOST OF US DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TRUE HUNGER FEELS LIKE BECAUSE WE'RE SIMPLY EATING WHEN WE THINK WE'RE HUNGRY.
OK SO I'LL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS, DON'T LIVE YOUR LIFE STARVING YOURSELF TRYING TO LOOSE WEIGHT OR LETTING GO OF EVERYTHING YOU LOVE JUST BECAUSE "IT'S BAD FOR YOU", LIFE IS SHORT, ENJOY IT BUT BE RESPONSIBLE WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR HEALTH!! ONCE YOU MAKE THIS DECISION TO JUMP ON THE BAND WAGON AND EAT MORE NUTRIENT RICH DISEASE FIGHTING FOODS, YOU COULD POTENTIALLY GO THROUGH A BIT OF DETOXING, BUT WHEN IT'S ALL DONE AND SAID YOU WILL NOT ONLY FEEL BETTER BUT YOU WILL BEGIN TO TASTE BETTER! AND ONCE YOU MOVE TO THIS KIND OF LIFESTYLE YOU'LL REALIZE YOU CAN EAT MORE NOT LESS!!
GETTING ON THE RIGHT SUPPLEMENTS IS A MUST TOO! I'VE NEGLECTED THEM FOR AWHILE AND BOY CAN I TELL. THANKS TO BILLY AT PRESCRIPTIONS PLUS I'M BACK IN THE GAME! I STARTED MY CORE HEALTH PACK THIS PAST FRIDAY AND YESTERDAY RUNNING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN I COULD ALREADY FEEL THE DIFFERNCE FROM THE WEEK BEFORE. MY CARDIO HAS BEEN SUFFERING LATELY AND I REALLY THINK IT'S BECAUSE I'M NOT GETTING ENOUGH OXYGEN SO I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW I FEEL AFTER BEING ON MY CORE HEALTH PACK FOR THE NEXT MONTH! IT'S GOT VITAMINS, MINERALS, ANTIOXIDANTS, PROBIOTICS, PREBIOTICS, ENZYMES AND HERBS ALL MADE FROM WHOLE FOODS. AGAIN I CAN'T ENCOURAGE YOU GUYS ENOUGH TO GO TALK TO BILLY YOURSELF. I'D LIKE TO PERSONALLY THANK ALL THE PHYSICIANS IN OUR COMMUNITY WHO ARE ON BOARD WITH WHAT BILLY IS DOING AND TEACHING. IT'S SO REFRESHING TO FINALLY SEE PHYSICIANS SEND THEIR PATIENTS TO GET ON TOP OF THE LINE SUPPLEMENTS OPPOSE TO MEDS. MY HATS OFF TO YOU GUYS WHO INCORPORATE MEDICINE WITH SUPPLEMENTS! IT DOESN'T HAVE TO SAY FDA ON THE LABEL TO BE FULL PROOF!!!! OF COURSE THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN SUPPLEMENTS, WHERE'S THE MONEY FOR THEM? LOL!! OK THAT'S A WHOLE DIFFERENT SUBJECT FOR A WHOLE DIFFERENT DAY!
MY BELIEF IS IF WE WOULD TURN OUR FOCUS MORE ON OUR HEALTH FIRST, THEN GUYS, OUR UNHEALTHY FAT WILL FOR SURE COME OFF!
DEPENDING ON WHAT YOUR DIET CONSIST OF ON A DAY TO DAY BASIS DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU WILL CRAVE, HOW MUCH YOU'LL BE HUNGRY DURING THE DAY AND HOW YOU WILL FEEL!

What Motivates You, What Drives You, What Picks You Up In The Morning To Do Your Best?....
Not much time today, Thursdays are busy busy for me. The questions in my title just came to me as I was asking myself the same things. I was not always a motivated person back in the day! Haha! Then I had children and they began to get older and I really wanted to be a good example to them. That was originally my reasoning but with that I noticed God laying things on me that I really started being passionate about. The number one thing was "PEOPLE", one way or the other it's been to impact others. If you notice I've updated my profile a little with things I've been involved in over the past 15 years of my life and they all had to do with making a difference in people's life's. The six years I was a Faux Finisher, wow I learned so much about myself that I never knew. One being confident in something I was doing. There is a Art Studio in Charlotte where I learned all my techniques and I must say I became pretty good at what I was doing. As a teenager I never much believed in myself or ever had the confidence to step out of my comfort zone but when I became a Faux Finisher it really helped me with that. It taught me how to manage my own company as well as feel confident in the work I was doing for others. I met so many awesome people along the way and had the privilege of working with, Contractors, Interior Designers, Construction Workers, Painters and other Artist, it was great!
Next Season of my life I decided to put the painting to the side to explore other opportunities which quickly turned out to be a passion for young girls. I volunteered at the Crisis Pregnancy Center for five years being a peer counselor. These five years were so rewarding to me! God really used me with my own experiences to help others and in return God began a transformation in me that continues to grow today.
During both of these time periods I was still considered a stay-at-home mom and still felt there was more to seek and more for me to learn out there. I was apart of a group called Celebrate Recovery for three years, a 12 Step Biblical Recovery Program for anybody who is considered a human! God placed me in a leadership position where I led a group for Codependent Women for a 15 month period. Talk about having to dig really really deep into yourself, where you came from, where you are and where you're going, wow! That was a great challenge for me but amazing journey at the same time. I give credit to God and that program for the woman I am today!!
Lord knows I fall a lot I mean a lot but thank God I always get up even more!!!!!!!!
Wait there's more, after discovering myself through painting, volunteering and a recovery program I knew there was much more for me to do in helping people in other ways. I woke up one morning and enrolled in Criminal Justice classes and got a job at the Court House being a Sentencing Analyst. I helped inmates and people on probation get into rehab centers oppose to prison. I loved that job and felt it was so needed! Due to budget cuts ughhhhh Sentencing Services had to start letting people go.
Crazy Crazy but a girls weekend in Charleston, S.C. landed me where I am today. I met some amazing people there that talked to me about a weight loss program and placing Weight Loss/Wellness Coaches in offices around the United States and seeing how this all tied into my personal life I was totally on board! I'm still seeking for new opportunities but I have never been this motivated in my life to utilize my life experiences for other people. For the past two years I've learned so much about the importance of not only our health but educating myself and others on how to live our best and be our best.
Gotta get back to work but thus far my life has been a rocky, crazy yet wonderful ride and I look forward to continue touching people's life's as all of you touch mine!!

So Many Weight Loss Options Out There Right?.......
Ok so first things first, Michael and I went to hear a phenomenal speaker the other night and I want to encourage everybody to google him and his products! Shan Stratton is an Internationally known Nutritional Consultant, Sports Supplementation Specialist and Motivational Speaker. Wow he was so awesome and full of amazing information that our community needs to hear. By the way if anybody from church is reading this he would be an amazing speaker and it would be an honor to have him come to Bethlehem! Ok here's his run down on just who he works with. Shan is a Sports Supplementation Consultant who has worked with teams like the New York Yankees, Boston Red Sox, Miami Heat, LA Dodgers and many other Major League Sports Teams. He has also served as a one-on-one nutritional training consultant for Reggie Jackson, Joe Torre, Randy Johnson and 100's of other Professional athletes. So..... are you convinced yet he just might know he's stuff? Well I am! Stratton has his own supplements called Core Health Products and lucky for us Prescriptions Plus carries them! Talk to David in the Kings Mountain location or Billy Wease in the Gastonia location. So siked to get started on these supplements.
Ok so the next thing I wanted to share is how much our community can learn from Billy and his crew at Prescriptions Plus. This guy knows his stuff too and frequently has free seminars on
so many different topics regarding our health. His next seminar is September 22. One more thing I know all of you who know me already have a clue and have been waiting on me to bring this up but KANGEN WATER IS THE WAY TO GO, CAN I GET A HOLLA!!!!! HAHAHA!
I'm not getting into all the details today I don't have time but please look it up, research it and get proactive in using this water, I promise it will change your life! Prescriptions Plus has their next water seminar September 29 and you don't want to miss this!!!!!!
Fact for the day: Did you know our metabolism may not be slowing down due to age but in fact because we have poor digestion? Metabolic rate slows down because we're lacking on enzymes. Guys we have got to get daily Pro biotics and Enzymes they are two of the most important necessities for supreme health and metabolism! Let's get educated! PRO means FOR and BIOTIC means LIFE, makes sense right! Any infection, throat, ears, bacteria, means pro biotic deficiency.
One thing I didn't know that Stratton touched on was some facts about our health care in our society. That we spend $2.7 Trillion on health care a year, ummmm hello! 90% of that is spent on sick care after we're sick. (Now that's sick!) This tells me majority of health care professionals are only putting band aids on our health problems and not treating the root of what's actually causing our health issues. "We need to get Reactive to disease and Proactive to health", Stratton says and I totally agree.
Ok gotta get to work but wow pretty interesting right? I'll have some more on these topics in the next couple of days so check back in and let's all learn together how to better our health so we don't have to solely rely on controlled health care, can I get an AMEN! lol!
LET'S ALL HAVE A FANTABULOUS DAY, REMEMBER IT'S A CHOICE!!!!!

I love being imperfect....................
Well let me tell you why: 1. I'd never grow 2. I'd never learn 3. I'd never have things to offer other people 4. My children wouldn't be able to see how BIG God really is in their own home 5. I'd never have anything to share, well at least anything interesting, lol! 6. I'd never be able to relate with the rest of you imperfect people 7. Not sure I'd really have much to offer 8. If I were perfect why would I need God? 9. Wouldn't be able to relate with other people who have gone through the things I've gone through 10. If I thought I were perfect I'd live a lonely life because everyone around me would think I'm judgmental.
*Wow thanks God for showing me just how imperfect I am and just how much you love me anyway!! You know this is something I try and teach my girls all the time. It's not about pulling your big girl panties up and moving on, however, for you guys who know me that's my favorite saying to all of you, lol! It's about knowing God gives us a new day everyday to be as perfect as we can in Him in this imperfect world! My daughter always talks about Christians being hypocrites, well hello world, we all are! This is what I say to her, " why would Satan want to bother with people who don't follow God, with their big houses, nice cars, success written all over them appearing to have it all together...... I'll tell you why because Satan has those people right where he wants them, he's going after me, you and the rest of the Christians trying his best to knock us down day in and day out. Do you actually think Satan wants Christians to follow our Savior and be successful, that would be a big fat NO! Truth is the closer any of us are to God the more rough it's going to get! Push through it, keep moving, God will reward us in the end! Until we go home to our Lord we all have to fight the good fight but not alone, that's why when God said, "I'm leaving for a short time but until my return I'm leaving my helper, THE HOLY SPIRIT". Guys we have got to take advantage of letting the spirit lead us and if we fall no worries the Spirit is there to pick us back up. PERSEVERANCE is the word for today, actually, for everyday!!!
It's such a challenge for Christians to make time alone to spend with God but I promise it's rewarding! You as myself at times think, I'm wasting my time, I've got things to do but what we're really doing is participating in battles in the supernatural world. If you don't know what spiritual warfare is I suggest you get to know all about it!!
I'll be the first to admit I've got problems, I can be a hypocrite but this will never change and that's my core belief in we all have a path, God's path, for our life but it's up to us to follow it or not! I will not regret my past but I will allow God to use it for His good, as He has already done! God is good I'm living proof of that. For those of you who know my testimony it is a true witness just how big He is! Let's don't waste time life is short and you can't get by in life just by being a good person, eating the right foods, exercising, it starts with our Spirit!!!! Inside out Guys is where it starts!

Faith Is So Much More Than A Word.......
I'm finally back!!! Man it's been a little bumpy this week but amazing at the same time! You know we often here people say things like, "have faith", "keep your faith going", "don't loose faith", and sometimes it can become so repetitive that it turns into an ordinary word. That couldn't be further than the truth because FAITH is so much more than a word, it's also an action. It's believing in something we can not see. We're human right? We want to see it to believe it. Seriously people that would get us no where in life! I thank God everyday for my faith, I'd be lost without it. I would also start really believing all the nonsense around me if I didn't have faith. My days would become so distressed, anxious, full of worry, needing control if I didn't have my faith. I would actually start to take stock in more of what people around me were saying rather than taking FULL stock in my faith! Oh Lord, how I thank you for giving me a gift of discernment and allowing me to take full advantage of this word we call faith!!!!!
*Psalm 9:10 - Those who know the Lord trust him, because He will not leave those who come to him.
So read this as if the Big Guy were sitting in front of you: (The farther you roam along paths of unbelief, the harder it is to remember that I am with you. Anxious thoughts branch off in all directions, taking you farther and farther from awareness of My Presence. You need to voice your trust in Me frequently. This simple act of faith will keep you walking along straight paths with Me. Trust in Me with all your heart, and I will make your paths straight.) (1)
I've worked out everyday this week but I woke up this morning feeling really tired and that's my body telling me "take a break already". So no gym, jog or Crowders today! Sometimes our minds or daily stresses can make a huge impact on our physical health. It's really good for us to pay attention to how our mind and body interact with each other. So the next time one of them are off we just might be able to pin point what's causing whatever is going on. Remember in my opinion 90% of what we all deal with is choice! Don't let anything or anybody determine how you feel or how you react. Be consistent on who you are no matter what and I promise you might soon realize how much better your stress level gets on a day to day basis. Normally in some form or fashion fear comes out in all of us either through sadness or anger. Also, don't forget fear is not of God but indeed of Satan! This is where we all can make a choice to introduce Faith in every circumstance in our life. God sent us His Holy Spirit to interact within us and around us to handle anything that comes our way. We are not capable of enduring the crap this world throws at us but through our faith and letting the Holy Spirit take over, guys LIFE IS GOOD!

Learn To Move Right Through The Storms Of Life......
Yep you heard me right we have to learn to keep moving forward through good times or bad! Why? Because we are capable with God's help to be consistent in who we are no matter what the situation is. Easier said than done huh? Well it's for sure possible I know! I encourage all of us to keep up the positive even through the negative. Now that's how you gain a healthy mind, body and spirit!!!
Reaching our healthy lifestyle habits can be challenging but once we make some healthy changes you'll see just how easy it becomes to stick with them. I tell my patients the more we eat or drink something the more our body will crave it. In the same way the more we speak and act positive the more we will be more consistent on being positive! Accountability guys that's the ticket and always having at least that one person to encourage, encourage, encourage!!!
One positive change is to educate ourselves about our health and habits we should gain to reach our goals in weight loss and healthy bodies. The more we know the more we become a little more conscious about habits whether they are good or bad. You know it takes 28 days to break a habit. Looking back the past 4 weeks I broke my sweet habit of always looking, searching, trying to figure out my next sweet fix! Haha! I simply tweaked my habits, I started grabbing one dark chocolate square (at least 70% or more cacao) after dinner. And last night I couldn't resist I had not one but three homemade cookies. It was so worth it!! Ha! It's good to indulge in something we love once in awhile, the key is moderation. Kick your habit, let some time go by then introduce what you love a little at a time in your diet so it doesn't get out of hand again.
Remember your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate) is very important for you to know. It is how many calories you are burning in 24 hours at complete rest. Then you add the amount of calories you are burning depending on how active you are daily and you'll have a good idea how many calories you should be consuming per day. BMR can be responsible for burning up to 70% of the total calories expended, but this figure varies due to different factors such as genetics, gender, age, weight, height, body fat percentage, diet and exercise. BMR is the largest factor in determining overall metabolic rate and how many calories you need to maintain, lose or gain weight.
In simple terms: Make sure you burn more calories then you eat!
*By the way I met God at the top of the mountain yet again yesterday morning! Starting my day in such a positive active way set the rest of my day up for how I felt. Then ended with a thankful spirit and cookies, what better way to fall asleep!!!!!!!!!!!

Life, Love, Laugh......
With who better than FAMILY! Today was for sure best day of the week for me! Love, love all my friends but what's better than that is to spend it with my fam!
Everybody knows my hot spot is on the mountain! Can I get a witness? HaHa! Couldn't find anybody to go this morning but then hubs came to my rescue and we went. Seriously like I here the mountain calling my name in my sleep, is how bad I wanted to go! lol! Might I add it was a beautiful morning and the best part of all was for the first time ever I could actually see my surroundings and such clear distance of radiant nature! I GOT CONTACTS YEEPIE!!!!!!! They are so awesome can't believe I didn't try them years ago!
Anyway second part of my day, met sis for a scary movie and it was fantabulous! Even screamed out loud one time and I looked at her and said, "did I really just do that?". Love my sis!
Third part of my day went to hang out with mom as I call her "Nannie"! Great catching up, laughing having dinner!
Now back at home for some downtime! Alone, yes but loving it for the moment. Listening to the rain is so serene to me. It calms my spirit and listening to the thunder is somewhat soothing to me.
My day will soon end with yet another movie with my husband at home!
I'm so blessed to have these people in my life who love me unconditional, who are always there when I need them and who would do anything for me! Just as my Father in Heaven does for me each and everyday!

When We Have A Healthy Mind We'll Have A Healthy Body......
Makes since right? Did you know when we feel stressed our immune system suffers. Crazy but when we allow tension to distract us from making positive choices, our health can deteriorate. I guess if we try to think of stress this way maybe we can attempt to manage it better. It really is a CHOICE to avoid stress triggers and start making more positive lifestyle choices! In return we will have more of a healthy body and healthy mind!
Constant stress and worry are actually all forms of "mind toxins". Chemicals such as endorphins can stimulate the production of extra cortisol and adrenaline in the blood stream, making it difficult to fight illnesses. (1)
There are things we can do to help, naturally:
For starters we can give our mind a break from constant overload. (TV, radio, cell phones or the Internet.) Just turn them off when they are not needed.
Meditation is great especially when you include God!
Make a conscious decision to replace negative thoughts with positive ones. If we learn to pay more attention to everything that is positive in our life then the negative won't seem as powerful.
Once you've calmed your mind, get outside and take a brisk walk, ride a bike or go for a run around the block.

Great tip for the day:
Start including cinnamon to your diet!! Cinnamon actually can help our digestive system. It can help gas, bloating, stomach upset, and diarrhea. Great thing to think about this beautiful morning! Haha! Can't believe it but in just 1 tsp. of Cinnamon it contains 28mg of calcium, almost one mg of iron, over a gram of fiber, and quite a lot of vitamins, C and K are two of them. I sprinkle cinnamon in my Greek yogurt over day. Which might I add Greek yogurt has more protein than other yogurts and Dannon Greek has less sodium than the others. Mix Greek yogurt, walnuts, fresh fruit and some cinnamon and you so have a delicious snack!!

Today's Going To Be A Great Day.....
Because I'm making a choice no matter what pops up to have a good day!! Ok so this is what I'm figuring out, obviously it takes a lot of time to keep up with a blog but it's so worth it I love it, however it's going to be one of those hit or miss kind of things. So sorry I missed yesterday but just know if I miss a day I'll always jump back on to give my thoughts, ideas, opinions and facts on my life and healthly lifestyle changes.
Ok seriously can I get an, "Amen", hello I woke up yesterday with a knee that felt fantabulous. Got to the gym and it didn't bother me at all. Now that's some serious instant gratification from the big guy! I love being outside but on the days I work I don't have as much time so I run to the gym and I feel pumped to start the day.
Don't have much time this morning but I will leave you with this: "Grow Strong In Your Weakness".
Isaiah 40:29-31 - He gives strength to those who are tired and more power to those who are weak. Even children become tired and need to rest, and young people trip and fall. But the people who trust the Lord will become strong again. They will rise up as an eagle in the sky; they will run and not need rest; they will walk and not become tired.
If you haven't started already today is your day to start moving!!! Get pumped, get excited, get on this health movement for a renewed spirit and a healthy you!!! You can do this!

Now that's some serious instant gratification from the big guy! I love being outside but on the days I work I don't have as much time so I run to the gym and I feel pumped to start the day.
Don't have much time this morning but I will leave you with this: "Grow Strong In Your Weakness".
Isaiah 40:29-31 - He gives strength to those who are tired and more power to those who are weak. Even children become tired and need to rest, and young people trip and fall. But the people who trust the Lord will become strong again. They will rise up as an eagle in the sky; they will run and not need rest; they will walk and not become tired.
If you haven't started already today is your day to start moving!!! Get pumped, get excited, get on this health movement for a renewed spirit and a healthy you!!! You can do this!

SPEAK POSITIVE..... BE POSITIVE....
Another awesome Monday morning, enjoying the outside again. Going from walk, jog to run feels like I'm flying as my body goes through that serotonin high. Yes I'm a dork at heart! Still haven't mastered getting my cardio where I want it but I love challenging myself trying to get there. Wouldn't you know it I had to ice my knee for 20 minutes when I finished but I'm hoping it feels like new again for tomorrow.
Anybody who knows me knows I've been through some pretty rough times in my life. I've gone through different seasons in my life too. Some where I was following God, some where I was partially following God and some where I was not following Him at all. I have NO regrets only life experiences which have brought me where I am today. My journey still continues with those ups and downs but I'm ok with that because they only help me grow as a person and a follower of Christ. Kind of like my injured knee, not completely injured or broken just in need of some TLC until I get it working right again. And with the right kind of attention I could wake up tomorrow morning having a healed knee ready to go again. Our Spirit is the same way. When we let our spiritual side go even just a little bit that's enough to make us fall off our God walk very quickly. Which may I say is all to familiar to me!! Unlike my knee I don't have to wait until the next day I can have instant gratification with God all I have to do is ask for it!
Let's continue to encourage, motivate and lift up the ones around us after all isn't that why God gave us one another?
Love this scripture:
Luke 12:25 - You cannot add anytime to your life by worrying about it.
AND
Proverbs 16:3 - Depend on the Lord in whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.
Let's get this HEALTHY movement in our society going, with our MIND, BODY, AND SPIRIT!!

Love the sound of birds singing in the morning.....
Psalm 5:3 - Lord, every morning you hear my voice. Every morning, I tell you what I need, and I wait for your answer.
Just as it's our responsibility to give our bodies proper nutrition with everything we eat and drink, it's also our responsibility to feed our spirit.
*Grow Strong in the light of my Presence. As My Face shines upon you, you receive nutrients that enhance your growth in grace. (1)
Thought For The Day......
We should get up every morning and ask ourselves what can I do today that will benefit our spirit and our health. The most common thing I hear at my job is, "I've got to loose weight, I've got to get rid of this fat". To me that has a negative vibe to it. I encourage my patients to speak on more of a positive note asking the question, "What can I do today that's going to build my lean body mass?". The fact is the more muscle we have the more our bodies will deplete of that unhealthy fat on it's own. Also it's actually our body fat % that matters more than what the scale says. At the age of 37 females begin to loose 1% of LBM per year. This is why it's crucial to always be active whether you're young or old. Diet alone will never work for optimal health as well as exercise alone. We must combine the two to be able to reach our goals in not only weight loss but to push our health to it's full potential.
The best plan is to have accountability and support. Obviously for us girls a buddy system will really help push us!

Serenity............
Don't get me wrong love the gym but any chance I get I'd rather do my exercising outside. It's my serenity time, soaking in the world around me that just inspires me! It's my alone time from work, people, distractions, etc. Love my Monday and Friday mornings! This morning was great it was me, my tennis shoes, the pavement and God's awesome creations all around! Wow my cardio seriously needs a jolt, I was struggling but it felt great! Came home had my favorite breakfast, egg whites, oatmeal with sliced peaches and some down time with God! Now the cleaning begins.... (Exercise, a healthy dose of God and breakfast gives me enough of a HIGH to be motivated the rest of the day!) Proactive Proactive Proactive, that's me encouraging me, lol!
My thoughts for the day:
Drug and alcohol addictions are considered a "disease of addiction" but in fact abusing food whether we struggle with gluttony or starving ourselves in my opinion is some what similar to a "disease of addiction". It's all psychological right? Think about it everything we do in life is psychological, planning our day, what we're going to eat, what we're going to drink, who we're going to see, how we're going to act, etc... Everything we do turns into something positive or negative and has the potential to turn into how we view ourselves.
"THE WAR WITHIN US" Romans 7:14-15; 17-19 - "We know that the law is spiritual, but I am not spiritual since sin rules me as if I were its slave. I do not understand the things I do. I do not do what I want to do, and I do the things I hate." But I am not really the one who is doing these hated things; it is sin living in me that does them. Yes, I know that nothing good lives in me--I mean nothing good lives in the part of me that is earthly and sinful. I want to do the things that are good, but I do not do them. I do not do the good things I want to do, but I do the bad things I do not want to do."
Romans 8:12-13 - "So, brothers and sisters, we must not be ruled by our sinful selves or live the way our sinful selves want. If you use your lives to do the wrong things your sinful selves want, you will die spiritually. But if you use the Spirit's help to stop doing the wrong things you do with your body, you will have true life."
Just like the recovering addict or alcoholic needs consistent accountability, the one who suffers with food addictions, poor self-esteem, or the one who simply wants motivation in life, as myself, needs consistent accountability too!
It's time to say "I'm worth it". To love ourselves enough to be capable to love others the way God intended! We need to WAKE UP! Wake up our families, wake up ourselves, wake up world to better our lifestyles to reap the full benefits of a healthy mind and body. My motto has always been "It starts from the inside out" when it comes to healthy lifestyle changes. When it comes to food, YES we are what we eat!
"As much as we put into our mind, body and spirit is as much as we're capable to give"

New day, New plans in motion, No worries, Just another journey...........
Love a routine it gets me motivated! Summer was great but slacked off with the occasional exercise regimen and wayyyyyy to much birthday cake! Thank God I have until October before my cake will be here! :) This morning was fan-tabulous got the kids off to school headed to the Y got in some cardio before work. Great time to clear my thoughts, get those serotonins releasing, thank God for the day to come and start that positive cycle my husband always talks about!
You know I've learned a lot the past two years working as a Weight Loss Consultant but the biggest thing that has impacted me the most is to see what Stress can do to us! Wow it's crazy how it attacks our minds, bodies and soul. What a waste of my time....... I have to remind myself daily, "let it go Carrie, just let it go". Majority of over weight patients have crazy stress factors in their life. It's such a blessing to be a motivator for these people because in return it allows God to motivate me. There is a plan for me as there is one for all of us it only falls in to play when we're willing to go after it with all we have!
I had a list of goals around seven years ago some of them being: get rid of procrastination, letting go of resentments, getting negative people out of my life, stopping my own negativity, the list could go on but you get the picture. Awesome and can I get an Amen for the most part letting all that go to better the quality of not only my life but the ones around me!
Second blog still trying to see where I want this to go but signing out for my "Positive" day at work:) Partly this blog is about ME but the other part is throwing in my opinions and tips on reaching healthy lifestyle changes to last a life time! (BTW I'll be updating my profile info in the next couple of days)

Let's get real with ourselves.......
Today's the day when you say "I'm worth it"! What's up with growing up, people changing, lazy days, carefree lifestyles, when all we had to worry about was what can we do fun today that's going to benefit "ME"?
No more setting up my carebears, strawberry shortcake characters and Holly Hobby.... ughhhhh!
Time to get down to business now I wake up every morning asking God to lead me show me His path and ask myself hmmmmm "what can I do today that's going to benefit my health?, what's going to make me feel better, look better, do better and be better?, and how can I be an example to the people around me?"..........
This is the first day of my new blog hope you keep posted to see what's up in my world that could potentially intertwine with your world!
