Today my heart is full of sadness and gratitude for my home state of Alabama and the entire South.
Sadness for ives that have been lost, the damage that has been done and gratitude that my immediate family and friends are safe.
Please today say a prayer and donate if you can to the Red Cross.
Much love.

My Favorite Breakfast
I hope that everyone had a beautiful and love filled weekend.
Most mornings, I have the same breakfast, it's fast, tasty and packed with protein. It is my smoothie and it contains the following:
Almond Milk ( I use the 60 calorie one) 1.5 cups
Life Time Life's Basic's Plant Protein Powder with Greens
1 T of Organic Peanut Butter
1/2 t of Royal Maca
I blend all together and then add a couple of ice cubes.
What I love about the plant protein powder is the greens already in it. It has barley grass, barley juice, spirulina, wheat grass, chlorella,, alfalfa, red beets, broccoli and chlorophyll. I know, I know, if you think that all this "green" will taste bad, you just have to trust me it doesn't. 2 scoops has 135 calories and 23 grams of protein, which is 46% of daily value.

Got it backwards! This should have been my first blog!
This is really what I wanted to say, regarding what my my blog will be about. But since we are only allowed 500 character's I had to do the Reader's Digest version.
With so many things around us that often seem negative -- imagine how fun it could be to have a place to explore all of the little positives that surround us too…
My vision is to offer you that place. I am a 46 year old pescetarian who lives with meat eaters (who I cook for but always organic). I love yoga, Pilates, fashion, shoes, handbags and wine just to name a few. I am also Fitness Coach for www.marilu.com where I work with people from all over the world to achieve health and fitness results while building a healthy attitude to support the journey.
This blog is designed to share with you positive reviews of things I am passionate about. Please feel free to look around and I look forward to building connections with you. Check back often as I will continue to share with you my reviews on different products, recipes, health related topics, restaurants, books, exercises, and other things that I love and hope you will too!

My road to health & sanity!
The first thing that I want to share that I love - would be www.marilu.com . I have became passionate about health & fitness. Below will give you insight on my own journey to health & sanity.
Let's just say like it is - I was a fat kid and I have been on ever diet in the world. I have used every meal replacement, diet pill "natural" or not. I have been super skinny and super fat, I have binged and I have purged and I hated to exercise most of all.
In Sept 2000 is when I picked up a book called Total Health Makeover by Marilu Henner. I started reading and I had that light bulb kind of moment where I thought I could do this. I could get healthy and not feel guilty about eating, to enjoy food who would of thought that was possible not me.
I really understood the idea of food combining, eating fruits alone, proteins/veggies, grains/veggie. In the book it talks about dairy, so I gave up milk that moment. I also made the choice for me to give up , meat, poultry & pork and this is what works for me, now cheese was a different story. I pretty much ate this way for the next 7 years, some good years, some bad years. On January 3, 2007 I realized that my health wasn't were it should be, that is when I gave up cheese and eggs. Low and behold, my allergies are a 1000 times better, and within the first month I lost 8 lbs. I started to exercise walking, pilates, and yoga, this has became a passion with me. In the fall of I think of 09, I was asked to the coach on Marilu's website for the Get Moving thread - and exercise and support thread. Me, the fat kid who always picked last in PE.
So over the last 4 years, I have lost 24 lbs and the best of it all have learned to love myself. So check out http://www.marilu.com/ and see what a great community this is. There are classes, recipes and a support group that is 2nd to none! I hope to you there!
