What's your latest wellness focus?

We can't focus on every aspect of our wellness all the time, so what's your latest fascination? Vitamins, eco-health, toxins, meditation...?

We don't get anything fast food and have been having things like sweets very minimally now. It is hard when we have opposite needs. I am trying to boost my calorie intake and eat things that will help me gain (long story), and hubby is trying to lose his "sympathy baby weight" from when I was pregnant! (LOL no lie!); ▶ Reply to This

Since we've made this change, I've started losing consistently and am feeling very happy with my progress. I can actually start seeing the results and that makes it easier to commit to success. One thing I'm finding a great help is the daily newsletters I get from Hungry Girl - I just bought her cookbook on Amazon and I love her ideas for healthy choices - particularly her restaurant reviews as I eat out a bit... highly recommend her!; ▶ Reply to This

It will be a HUGE shift, so that may be about the only wellness focus I'll manage for a bit!; ▶ Reply to This

I'm trying to get down to close to zero. So far I've switched my make-up to Tarte (paraben and phthalate free) and I switched to organic shampoo. I can't seem to find a deodorant that actually works that's healthy though, so I might have to stick to my aluminum chloride concoction. Better that than being smelly in front of my clients!; ▶ Reply to This

When we took them out of his diet he improved dramatically w/in 2 weeks. It was more effective than all the OT he's gotten!; ▶ Reply to This

Buckets of fresh veges, very limited carbs (losing that last 2kg post baby fat) no fruit (til after I loose the weight) and basically nothing that comes out of a packet or tin (except tuna and salmon). Lots of herbs and spices. The only exception is a little no fat dressing. No soft drinks (soda) and 2 litres of water a day. Lots of sleep (still workng on this). My only vice at the moment is a skim soy gloria jeans capaccino every day! Theres the odd occassion that I splurge but I want to be as good as possible til at least Xmas. Keep you posted.; ▶ Reply to This

Permalink Reply by Genell Hodges on December 27, 2008 at 7:52am: I need HELP? I've lost my way (again) on this weightloss rollercoaster. Why is it so easy to get off track? I need someone to help me stay on track daily, weekly, to help me make this a "I'm in it for the long haul" mentality, and put it first before anyone else? If there's anyone who is good at consistently checking in and would enjoy helping stay on track, I would "GREATLY" appreciate the help.; ▶ Reply to This

My asthma has not returned since I started. I have more energy now and my whole family is healthier! My granddaughter is 6 years old and has not been sick and has perfect attendance in her kindergarten class. It was easy to do this and I have saved money too! I buy toxin-free products wholesale and also earn an income referring other families to shop wholesale for healthier products. My goal has always been to work from home and now I have found my dream business! Take a look at my website when you have time! If you need more time, then take a look now and I will show you how to have more time for your family and personal balance in your life! http://www.evelyn1.fourpointwellness.com; ▶ Reply to This
