Glorious, glorious post!

I’m with you on everything in moderation. I’ve never done a cleanse or detox and never will and I’ve never cut an entire food group out of my diet. I treat myself when I want to and that balance works for me. I do enjoy exercise and love spin classes! I usually do Peloton Cycles at home spin classes about 3 times a week. I just signed up for the #GlowGetter challenge, I’m looking forward to it!

Totally agree with your take on food, although my sweet tooth is getting the better of me these days. 😉 Exercise is something I actually enjoy and prefer to do in a group setting. Mental health for me revolves around prayer, taking a moment to thank the Lord for the everyday things we take for granted — eye sight, hearing, mobility, etc. and relying on Him each day. I’ve also taken a social media ‘cleanse’ for the last 3 months. Not sure when or if I’ll get back on, but I’m enjoying the feeling of putting my phone down and listening to the birds or reading more often. It really does boil down to the simple things in life.

I’m about the same. I have to also eliminate foods because of health issues, but in general, I eat healthily and in moderation. I also unplug once a week and I love it. It helps me to enjoy the Internet more rather than feeling I am bound to it.

Wonderful post! My fave way to relax is to walk on the beach and collect beach glass!

Love this! I agree with moderation. I’ve never been into any serious diets, just eating real whole foods and exercising regularly which means walking or yoga for me! I should get better about taking time away from technology though, it’s tough!

Such a great post! How funny I also did a health post today. I agree with you everything in moderation and I also feel like one should before know what they are putting in their bodies for the most part. Like I have not stepped foot in a MacDonalds sine I was a child and I stopped drinking soda years ago after I learned about it’s horribly harmful affects. That being said I had a burger with cheddar cheese or Saturday night and way to many glasses of red wine. I too love yoga and do it or pilates on the reformer at least once a week. I also walk a lot for heart health, my daily goal is 10,000 steps a day and I track it. On top of that I do small body resistance workouts at home. As far a mental health goes I am a true believer that you are the only person that can make you happy. So I work on that, I remind myself how fortunate I am every day and try to smile and be kind to others at all times. Wine and a good book or movie or a long hike does wonders for my soul. Thanks for sharing tis post today!

Great post! Question – what do you snack on? I am becoming somewhat bored with my snacks and wonder if there is anything else out there that I’m not trying! I typically stick to string cheese, rice cakes with either avocado or sunflower butter, apples and almond butter, or plain greek yogurt with almonds. I can do hummus in small doses but that’s about it.
Thanks!

I love fruit so I typically have a smoothie and add granola for some crunch or fresh fruit like strawberries and blueberries. I also just got into almond butter so I’ll have that on toast or crackers. And of course ALL OF THE AVOCADO. I love it on toast or I just whip up some guac and have it with chips. I know that’s hard to do in an office setting though…

This is wonderful. Thank you!!
I live in Vermont, and, as you know, it can get really, really cold in the winter. While I love living here and wouldn’t want to live anywhere else, I would love to hear what kinds of exercise works for you on those winter days when it’s just too cold (or too snowy) to venture out.
I find myself debating between acknowledging that this might be mother nature’s way of telling me to take a break, and trying to find some kind of workaround so I don’t get cabin fever.
