Interesting tips on what to do before and after you work out. I tend to have a kale smoothie before i hit the gym or a handful of unsalted nuts. It works for me, so i keep at it.

Do you ever notice what other people eat? Since becoming diabetic, I’ve noticed it more. Perhaps you could say Its a sensitivity of mine.

It surprises me how poorly and unbalanced some people’s diets are and they seem to be okay. Hmm…but are they? Perception can be dangerous yet it’s really what we go on isn’t it?

We tend to take our health for granted until something happens. Of course, not everyone is like this but for the most part this philosophy applies to any privilege in our lives. Once it is gone, we are left feeling empty, lost, lonely, and regretful.

Let’s start each day with the intention to nourish our body and mind. It can be in any form. Such as physical activity, eating more fruits, veggies, and protein, reading a book/ quote/ article, listening to your heart, or focusing on your breath as it weaves in and out of your lungs. What ever it may be try it out. It’s never to late to do something different.

Today, I snuggled with my baby girl a little longer and I was able to get to the gym (courtesy of my dad️- thank you dad!).
