Stretching Sites for You!

No time like the present to pass this on. I found both of these sites had interesting information.

Dynamic Stretching - the way to go for preparing your body for physical activity. Runners especially - I hope you check this out!

And if you're looking for something simple to add to help you get a good night's sleep, here are 3 easy yoga moves/stretches to help sweeten those dreams.

Looking forward to the call tonight!

Hey!

I've been out of touch for awhile, too. So sorry I missed last week's call (dentist... not a bad thing, but not the best timing)...but, like Betty, had an opp to listen to the recorded call during the week. EVERY single time I listen to the calls I learn something new. Thank you to each and every one of us who has decided to participate in an Abundant, Healthy and Renewed way of Living through synergy, science, and working together as a team. Thank you, AHL enthusiasts!

P.S. Looking at the back of school buses today reminded me how fortunate we are to be learning this information now, if now is the first time for you. I wish, OH how I wish, I'd learned all this when my kids were babies.

See ya!

Still Committed & Miss You

AHL members - I missed last Monday due to another commitment and tonight I may not make it because my dog Molly had a surgical procedure and I will just be picking her up around 7pm. I know she'll need mama tonight. But I did tune in for the recorded session from last week and took notes. It was another excellent exchange of helpful information and positive energy. If I miss tonight have another wonderful session and I will join you next time. Peaceful blessings -- Betty Robinson

Discovering the Fun of Wii Fit!

I finally had a chance to enjoy a 1/2 hour of fitness fun with our Wii Fit. My Wii age is 31 (19 years difference!). I think Abundant Healthy Living has a lot to do with that GREAT result!

I'm going to enjoy getting into more of the exercises and sports on this. What a great way to make movement and exercise fun!

Silent but Still Dedicated

Hey Partners!

I have been off the blog for awhile now. I have entered my very busy season at my job and I have not been very good about blogging. Forgive me. My blog silence is not an indicator of my lack of love and support for you all. I send positive mojo to this team everyday in my morning prayers.

Have a wonderful weekend and I am looking forward to our Monday call.

Love,
Tee

ps: With a new six-week session ready to start soon, now is the time to start inviting people to join you for the next series. XO

Healthy Grazing Options

I'm sure we can always use some new ideas when it comes to grazing. Review the list below and see what intrigues you!

A couple of NEW ones:
Garden Fresh Lima Beans - I've never had these raw and fresh. They were amazingly sweet and had a slight crunch!
Banana Smoothie - freeze banana then whip up in blender with a tiny amount of juice or milk!

Almonds, Walnuts
Apples with natural peanut butter/almond butter
Arbonne Chews
Baby Bell cheesesBaby carrots
Cup of Detox Tea or splurge on Chai
Dried FruitsHummus with carrots
Parmesan Zucchini Crisps
Protein Bars - made from Fig8 Chocolate Protein Mix I cut them into 1" cubes
Water - Remember your brain doesn't know the difference between hunger and thirst
Fizzy Tabs - satisfy your 'thirst' and hunger for flavor at the same time!
Fizzy Tab Popsicles – Just buy the popsicle trays available at any home store
Chewing Gum (try peppermint sugar free) – especially while preparing food – stops you from sampling as you fix your meal!
Frozen Grapes - yummy in the summerFresh fruit

Greek Yogurt - with Honey or sprinklw w/granola if you want some crunch!
Hard Boiled Egg
Protein - Lunch Meat, Chicken, Fish – try cooking extra so there will be something in the fridge ready to eat
Prepared Veggies ... celery, peppers, mushrooms, carrots, cherry tomatoes
Rice cakes
Seeds such as Pepitas - roasted and shelled pumpkin seeds




Remember that grazing means eating small amounts. This is important because many of these foods are high in calories so you need to eat just enough to satisfy the need to chew or get the taste. And taking good vitamies may lessen cravings between meals too!
Several of us find the more we take my vitamins the less cravings we have between meals.

Little changes adding up!

Good Morning,
I am excited to report that I am at a new low weight and it feels so good. I am not doing anything different, I think it is all the little Abundant Healthy Living changes adding up to results! Wishing everyone a happy, healthy weekend. Love, San
