Reasons Why...

Tuesday, 2 October 2012

Motivation is the KEY to Success!


Place this in your room as a visual motivation for losing weight!.... Place the number of pounds you want to lose in the left jar, then every time you lose a pound ... move it to the right jar and watch your success grow! 

ALSO!!

POSTERS LIKE THESE ARE EVERYWHERE IN OUR HOUSE! 

My Suggestions: 

1) Get a piece of bristle board ( ANY COLOUR)
2) go through your favourite magazines and cut out ANY 
motivational quotes or pictures that inspire you to 
get healthy 
3) make a collage on the white board 
4) hang it in an area where you see it everyday

YOU WILL BE INSPIRED EVERY TIME YOU LOOK AT IT! 


Detox and Delicious

MY STUDY DRINK OF THE NIGHT IS>>>>



THE GLOWING GREEN SMOOTHIE!


Ingredients
1 1/2 cups water
1 head organic romaine lettuce, chopped
3-4 stalks organic celery
1/2 head of a large bunch or 3/4 of a small bunch of spinach
1 organic apple, cored and chopped
1 organic pear, cored and chopped
1 organic banana
Juice of 1/2 fresh organic lemon
Optional: 1/3 bunch organic cilantro (stems OK) and 1/3 bunch organic parsley (stems OK)

Directions
Made up of about 70 percent green vegetables and 30 percent fruit, this smoothie helps you eat far more greens than you ordinarily could. Because we blend the greens and fruit for easy digestion, your body is able to absorb more of the vitamins and minerals without working so hard. Thanks to all its nutrients and fiber, the smoothie is incredibly filling, so it keeps you from reaching for that midmorning second cup of coffee and that bagel you really didn't want to eat.
  1. Add water and chopped head of romaine to blender. Blend at a low speed until smooth.
  2. Add celery, apple, and pear and blend at high speed.
  3. Add cilantro and parsley (which help chelate heavy metals out of your body).
  4. Finish with banana and lemon.
