The ins and outs to eating healthy

Eating healthy can be a lot of work. I have been on a pretty healthy diet since May. 

I watched Food Inc. It was a very well done documentary and I am glad I am aware of what I am putting into my body.  I try to eat organic whenever I can. I drink almond milk, eat lots of yogurt, I'm loving the Chobani Greek yogurt its very high in protein (14 grams) and I love my cheeses. I try to eat a ton of fruits, veggies and grains. 

I try to stay away from high fructose corn syrup and processed foods.  Key word is try here it is very hard! 

Its not easy to eat healthy and it is not cheap. I ran across this article today that I found very interesting. 

I thought it had some good tips. So I wanted to share...

its beginning to look a lot like...

Flu & cold season...

As I am out and about Im starting to hear a lot of sneezing and coughing... Yikes! Flu and cold season is upon us :(

So I am getting ready...

Flu Shot... Check!

Purell bottles filled in every room, handbag and coat pockets and car.... Check!

My economy size bottles to keep me in stock... Ordered these from Costco.com

Vit C bottle... Check!

Back to daily sinus rinses and gargling with salt water... Check!

Washing hands every time I enter my home nad guests too!... Check!

All these tips kept me safe last year... So I am gonna stick to what I know works.

What are you doing to prepare for this flu and cold season? Stay healthy people and please if you are sick stay home! Don't be selfish!!! Thank you Trust me its very much appreciated!

A New York State of mind...

My friend Mike Norseth is joining Team Boomer for this years New York marathon... He is raising money for CF while training for the BIG day. 

Below are his thoughts...

Have you ever heard the phrase, "Don’t write a check you can’t (or don’t want to) cash?"  I think I did that when I got BOOMERANGED and agreed to participate in the NYC Marathon for TEAM BOOMER! 

Having talked a big game to Boomer Esiason about being willing to do whatever it takes to help him and the Boomer Esiason Foundation (BEF) in their fight to find a cure for CF, it’s now time to back it up.  (Note, backing him up on the football field was much easier; I only had to pass out water and slap teammate’s asses. I kind of miss that!) I am joining more than 100 other athletes who are running the marathon for Team Boomer, a BEF program that makes a difference very day in the life of people with CF.

Oct 1st... really?!

Pumpkins, Oktoberfest, leaves are changing, haunted houses, cooler temps, scarves, boots, fireplace,

 fall is in the air!!

Done & Done!! Love a finished project.

~I am the proud owner of world's largest chalkboard... I have been wanting to paint a wall in my basement for quite some time now. Well I finally finished it on Sun. It looks so great! You can tint the paint to be any color I used a slate grey. I love it! I can't wait for Makena to try it out. Needless to say my back and arms are still sore! dark colors are a pain to paint!

~Lilly got her stitches out on Mon. Yay!! She is stitch free!!

~I had clinic on Mon, Pfts were about the same. I feel I am on the fence of still feeling good and a possible 2 wk stint in the joint, so for now we are just staying on top of things. I feel fine just have lots of mucus TMI I know ;) Anyways I go back in 2 wks to blow again and see where I am at.

~The UTES are on FIRE!!! We had our homecoming game last Sat we won 56 to 3 WHAT??? Were we even playing another team ?!? ;)

~I am in charge of a roundtable for CF parents night next week and am still brainstorming some ideas. I want to make my roundtable interactive any ideas for me. I def want to do something where they can put their name in a drawing for one of my paintings. I figure the best beneficial thing would be for the parents just to ask me questions so I'll do that for sure but want to do something else too...

~Seriously?!?!? Its not even Oct yet and I am seeing Christmas decorations everywhere C'mon retail world stop rushing life! Enjoy the moment! GOODNESS!! I need to start thinking of good Halloween costumes I saw this it could be a possibility. Oscar could be the taco and Lills and I could be Hot sauce or something.... well it's not set in stone ;)

~But seeing this Christmas stuff gets me brainstorming Christmas cards... I am running out of pic ideas for me and the babies... any ideas for me on this one? 

Ok well thats a lil recap of what has been going on in  my world... Been crazy busy around here but Busy is good! Hope you all are enjoying Autumn! Xo
