Blogtober Day 3: Tasty Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! I hope this post finds you well!

Last Tuesday, after I grocery shopped and put everything up, I did not feel like cooking. I am sure many of you can relate to this. We’ve been trying to eat a little better, so I also knew I did not want take-out. I remembered I had bought a few things for times like this. See below…..

Less than 10 minutes, less than 300 calories, less than 20 carbs, 10 points on WW, less than $10! Delicious! Husband approved!

What do you do when you don’t feel like cooking but also don’t want to eat out? What did you have that was taste recently?

Be Peaceful,

Blogtober Day 2: Motivated Monday

Are you wearing your positive pants?

Hi all! Happy Monday! Just like Monday is a state of mind, so is positivity. We all get to choose what our state of mind is when approaching any day or situation.

I deal with situations on most days in which I have to make the decision to put on my positive pants. It really helps the outcome be much better than my brain originally imagined. For example, I work in a pharmacy part-time. There is this one particular patient that is always grumpy and honestly a little nasty. After my first two encounters with him, I decided that I would be over the top nice to him in the future because I didn’t know what he might be going through. The next few times I saw him, I smiled big and very excitedly greeted him, thanked him for his visit, etc. After a few weeks had passed, I saw him exiting the pharmacy as I was enetering, and he smiled at me and waved! It was very touching and made my day!

Is there a specific day of the week or situation you are dealing with that you need to adjust your mindset? Are you choosing to wear your positivity pants today? I would love your input on this topic. How has changing your mindset/state of mind helped change the outcome of a particular situation?

Be Peacful,

Week 1……10-Week Challenge

Hi All! I hope you are all having a nice week! I am almost through Week 1 of my 10-Week Challenge! Week 2 starts Saturday, 4/15!

For week 1, I have been creating a rough draft of my daily schedule using this template.
Week 2, I will use this template to tweak and fine-tune my schedule.

During Week 2, I will also make 1 blog post and re-start my focus on food tracking & intake, aiming for Blue Dots 5 out of 7 days. Blue Dots are a Weight Watchers thing. You get a Blue Dot for eating in a healthy range.

I would love to hear from you. Are you making steps towards you long term goals by making small changes?

Have a great weekend, and Be Peaceful!

Fabulous February: Wellness Wednesday – Heart Health Week 2

Happy Wednesday! We made it halfway through another work week and to another Wellness Wednesday dedicated to Heart Health.

This month Bravera Hospital is doing a 28 day heart challenge. You can sign up for daily emails here and catch up on missed challenges here.

The Day 3 challenge was to Step Up and Get Exercising. Per the article walking 20 minutes a day for 15 weeks can lower the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Are you a walker or a step counter? I aim for at least 5,000 steps a day and a few weeks back started walking 20 minutes a day at least 5 days a week. Share your step goal or exercise routine with us as well as anything esle you are doing this month for Heart Health.

Be Peaceful,

~Nettie
