5 tips to get back in shape this Summer

I find myself in this vicious fitness cycle where I constantly have to start from zero. I can be solid and work out every day for 3 months and then stop for a couple weeks, get fat and then have to start over. I’m sure theres similar cases with a lot of people. It’s been hard to stay in shape (with it being Winter and all) but now it is Spring! I went on a run this morning (well half – run, getting in shape remember??) and I was thinking about what I need to do to keep going. I love getting outside because that is time for ME. These are the things that would be a good guide to start doing.

 

1. Eat right.

80% of losing weight is eating right. Exercise is 20%. Be aware of what you are putting into your body. No fast food, no soda, and eat those veggies! Up the protein when exercising as that maintains and repairs body tissues.

2. Start slow and set REALISTIC goals for yourself.

It is healthy to lose 1-2 pounds a week. Don’t think you have to lose 15 in a day. For example, my workout schedule Consists of running 1 mile every other day with strength training / Pilates in between. Eventually I’ll up it to 2 miles, then 3 then 4 and so on. Have a goal to at least walk 30 minutes every day.

3. Make it a habit.

Don’t get lazy!! This can be hard to overcome, but just think of how good it will feel once it’s done.

4. Exercise in the morning, if possible.

Getting some exercise at any time during the day is great!! But for myself, personally, I am better at sticking to my goals if I get it done in the AM.

5. Don’t reward yourself with sugar.

Ahhh I can’t say this enough. You can still reward yourself! Just do it with other things. Maybe you get a new T-shirt or set aside some reading time as reward for hitting those goals. Make your spouse give you a well- deserved foot massage.

 

These are the tips that I think would best fit my needs to stay in shape. I hope they help you as well! Have fun and ENJOY getting outside and doing something for yourself.

Colloidal Silver —How, What & Why

Colloidal Silver. How it works, what it is and why you should have it.

If you’re a wanna-be homeopath like me, you will definitely want some Colloidal Silver in your medicine cabinet. It’s pretty much the coolest thing that heals so many things! One of the World’s wonders for sure. It is a potent anti-fungal and anti-bacterial solution. Because it is considered more of a “homeopathic” remedy, in 1991 the FDA warned against it (just like most natural remedies) but if used correctly, should be perfectly safe. (It is difficult to overdose – unless ingesting a TON)

How It Works

“The presence of colloidal silver near a virus, fungus, bacterium or any other single celled pathogen disables its oxygen metabolism enzyme, its chemical lung, so to say. Within a few minutes, the pathogen suffocates and dies, and is cleared out of the body by the immune, lymphatic and elimination systems.

Unlike pharmaceutical antibiotics, which destroy beneficial enzymes, colloidal silver leaves these tissue-cell enzymes intact, as they are radically different from the enzymes of primitive single-celled life. Thus colloidal silver is absolutely safe for humans, reptiles, plants and all multi-celled living matter.”

A Little History

“Prior to 1938, colloidal silver was used by physicians as a mainstream antibiotic treatment and was considered quite “high-tech.” Production methods, however, were costly. The pharmaceutical industry moved in, causing colloidal research to be set aside in favor of fast working and financially lucrative drugs.”

Since 1938, however, Silver Colloid has been tested and tried numerous times and has been proven to be benefical and a true remedy that works.

Well, that about wraps it up! I am continually learning more about this miracle liquid and I can honestly say that it works! My family has been using it for the past year and all illnesses we have are gone quickly if Silver Colloid is involved. My father-in-law makes his own and that is where we got our stash. I will hopefully get a recipe soon and add that here to share. But it is available to buy online or in most Natural or Herbal stores. Hope this helps anyone who was curious about the product or looking for new ways to cure ails from home.
