HAPPY

MOTHER'S DAY

TO ALL YOU SPECIAL

GALS!!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

This Mother's Day, I would like you all to give yourself a very special gift......the gift of peace, the gift of happiness, the gift of self love, the gift of self acceptance, the gift of serenity!!!  As a mother, we all have so many roles to juggle throughout the course of our day......but in order to be the best for all involved and ourselves, we not only need to nourish our bodies with healthy nutritious foods...we also need to nourish our minds with healthy positive thoughts.  Some of you may be asking, "What do you mean?"  I mean when you start having a negative conversation in your head, when you start reliving a past negative situation, when you start drama in your head in anticipation of what you think might happen.....STOP!!!!!!  Just change your thoughts to something positive......such as what makes you happy... a happy memory that has occurred, a happy memory you may wish to occur, your children's smile and laughter......anything but a negative thought.   Change the conversation in your head....change the channel of the show you're watching in your mind.....just pretend you have a remote control handy for your mind!!!  It takes some work and practice, but I guarantee you it will get easier and easier.  This Mother's Day, give yourself the best gift of all.... positive thinking, life in the moment thinking.  Feed your mind with positive thoughts, surround yourself with positive people... and a healthy life will follow.  Happy Mother's Day to you all!!

Yes, There Is A Way To

Enjoy Your Iced Coffee And

Not Consume A Days Worth

Of Calories!!!!

 

 

 



Say what you will, but the last time I checked we are all in control of what we are ordering at our favorite coffee lounge.  Yes, there are many high caloric choices with lots of whipped cream that are offered, but let's be fair......there are many healthy choices as well!!  Listen, I always say that no food should be eliminated, rather we just need to consume these things in moderation, but if you know your Barista by their first name, their birthday, and they know your astrological sign.....these tips may help you!!!

 

Tip number 1, start by ordering the smallest size available.....even if you still indulge in your delicious Mocha Frappuccino, if you order the smallest size.....you are cutting the calories in half!!! Beach body here you come!!!

 

Tip number 2, "Barista.....please hold the whipped cream"......just say it over and over again in a mirror and I'm sure you can do it!!  Again...you will be making a major drop in calories.

 

Tip number 3, get it skinny!!!!! Just ask for skim milk....the delicious taste of the coffee will come through even more and you'll be helping your waistline!!! 

 

Tip number 4, hold the chocolate syrup please!!   Save it for your ice cream only!!

 

So ladies and gentlemen, continue to enjoy your daily routine of ordering a delicious iced beverage to keep you cool and content.......you are now armed with coffee ordering "know how!"  I have yet to encounter a Barista that wasn't happy to accommodate my "Harry Met Sally" ordering style!!!
