Does my PCOS ever get me down? Ummm...All the time! I have to work hard and plow through the emotions 😭 and hormones 😢 that over come my moods and undermine healthy habits 🍎 all the time. Its not always easy for me. The one constant that gets me through is Jesus. I pray 🙇 and read my Bible 📖 and He reminds me how strong I can be and motivates me to keep going. He reminds me I don't have to be perfect. I just have to keep working on me and stop STRESSING out because stress undermines every positive thing He provides.

Perspective is everything when you are trying to make positive and health changes in your life. Doing your best to focus on the positive and the things you did right daily is super important!

Changing your perspective can drastically improve your health and your life!

Its been an important part of my healthy journey to identify the stumbling blocks. Sometimes we allow others to interfere with how we feel, sometime we just feel out of control in general or just have a bad attitude towards life and circumstances. So the questions come in super handy to identify the route problem, so you can get a handle on things and make some positive choices for yourself. Today I had to ask myself some tough questions. And I came to the realisation that I was not the one in control o...

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 th...
