Did you know?

We often forget that water is such an important part of your day. Most people start off drinking a cup of coffee and forget to rehydrate with water first before consuming any other liquids.

As we sleep our bodies do a lot of work recovering from the day before. Our organs slow down and everything goes into a slight hibernation to rest and repair.

Once you wake up your bodies start to reactivate all these organs which now need hydration to get them operating optimally again. So first thing in the morning it is highly recommended to start off with at least 12-20 oz of water first before drinking anything other liquids. Especially coffee!

Coffee is a natural dehydrate. So if that is your first liquid for the day, you are now placing your body in a deficit for hydration and you will need more water later on to adjust for the lack of water in the morning. This leaves you more thirsty through out the day plus you may find yourself more tired and dragging to get through the remainder of the day. Needing more coffee to keep going.

Tomorrow try adjusting your routine and drinking some water first. I bet you feel better. Your skin wont feel as dry, and you will be less thirsty throughout your day. #water #hydrate #info #healthy #liquid

The DECISION is YOURS

This really hit home with me when I read it. It reminded me of how I used to behave, feeling victim of our situations and helpless to change our circumstances. It didn't matter if we had made a poor decision and had consequences do to those poor decisions or someone else was causing us troubles... I would focus on the negative and cause myself to be self defeated so that I would feel validated for more poor decisions. Thankfully I had a "Come to Jesus" moment and my eyes were opened to what was really going on. When I was able to see clearly, take owner ship of my mistakes, let go of the past and started reading the Bible regularly I was able to over come the head trash and started making better choices for myself. My health, positive thoughts, relationships, jobs, income and consistency improved. So whatever has been holding you back you are capable of overcoming and making a better life for yourself! #motivation #inspiration

Carrot Quinoa Soup

Carrot Quinoa Soup It may not sound like much, but this soup was extremely yummy and filling! Great for a cold night and easy on the budget. - 6-9 Carrots peeled and chopped (I chose colored carrots this time) - 1/2 Yellow Onion minced - 4 Celery stalks chopped - 1/2 cup Quinoa - 1 32oz box Veggie Stock Directions: - Sautee onions until tender in olive oil on med heat. - Add carrots and celery and sautee until tender. - Add Veggie Stock and bring to a boil, then lower to Low heat. - I cook the quinoa separately and add at the end. **You can cook the quinoa in the soup, however you will need an extra cup of liquid. - Add salt and/or Red Pepper Flakes to jazz it up.
