Just "Eat It" or DON'T?

If you share a tenth of the passion in foods as I, then you love to eat when you want without worrying that muffins will no longer be tasty morsels baking in the kitchen oven but fret it will become a dreadful waist overlap on your favorite ripped jeans .. which means, that you probably fit into the same category as the majority of people who are lounging on couches with Roku remotes in hand, who like to "Eat It" while watching Netflix, the more you eat, the bigger the pant size. And don't get me wrong, I love to shop but not a fan of shopping for bigger pants! No fun! I'd rather shop for cool kicks! And who wants to spend time at a gym "Sweatin' to the Oldies" (although, I l do love Richard Simmons and his Candy-Cane stripped Dolphin shorts) but the YMCA costs money and so do those workout videos (pretty sure my pockets have holes in them) and it takes more time out of my day (I barely have time to do the things that are essential in keeping the cogs in the never ending clock meshed together on a daily basis). Hey, heres a funny little footnote on my epic ass (sorry kids), I don't care a thing in the world about exercise but maybe it's gonna grow on me again one day. Squirrel! They say mud is great for the skin and I have recently had an invigorating walk around Bass Lake in the crisp chill of the fall air! Trees were on fire with brilliant colors and the lake water edges adorned with vibrant colored Maple Tree leaves and Lilly Pads. Never did find my Prince, though .. So in a nut shell, exercise is for Richard Simons and the 80's and growing wider is not on my agenda for the day!

Today, I will make life simple, do all the leg work for you - all you need is a little will power; 'cause let me tell ya, this diet ain't for wimps! You know? "Diet" is a dirty word! I should wash my mouth out with soap! Pretty sure I still have some residue from where my Grandma washed mine out a few times for being a kid smartypants! But anyway, so lets take on a new form with a fun word like "lifestyle change". That sounds more modern and a little less dramatic. Whoa! Look outside! The sun is shining and the mountain morning air is brisk but beautiful, so lets do something amazing for ourselves today! Come with me and you and I can embark on this new endeavor together! I am going to lead you hand in hand into a world of smaller waist lines, help squeegee off brain fog and if your joints have pained you, kiss that goodbye as well. Get up, blow the dust off and "we're all gonna go .. SHOPPING"!! I'll post some videos along the way and you can always email me with questions.

Still love rocking those "skinny jeans"? As long as you know how to read labels and understand what to avoid, you still can. A great starting place is to have your DNA checked to see what sensitivities and intolerances you may have but that is only icing on the cake and not something you have to do in order to be able to feel better, lose weight and gain brownie points in the "healthier me" category.

Here I have compiled a list of foods you should avoid and links that explain what it affects and why.
