Live Without Regrets

Nov 5, 2013 | 9:13 PM

Regret can come in all shapes and sizes. You regret starting an exercise routine until you’re sick. You regret that you didn't say I love you when you should have.

Well today you won't regret any more because you’re going to do all that and more!

Let's start with your family. Stop making excuses why you can't cook at home. We live in a country where we have electricity, a stove and a fridge. These things aren't for show, they are to use. Eating a meal together twice a day will give you a huge insight to where your family’s hearts and heads are.

I love two websites that are all about healthy cooking. They are graciouspantry.com & cleaneatingonline.com. These websites allow me to think outside the box ( I hate being bored) and allows my family to enjoy / try new foods. If you can't cook learn. If you’re laze, get over it. Your health and your children’s health is depending on it. Plus, it is cheaper than eating crap ( I mean eating out… oops)

Saying I love you! Hurry, hurry, hurry. We're always in a hurry! Then the unthinkable happens. You’re late! Then you’re rushed, frazzled and stressed. Your blood pressure goes up, productivity goes down , and you still don't say those words, “I love ( like , care, insert here ) you “. Love makes people smile. Caring goes a long way to heart health. You may be rushed but the people in your life aren't. Take the one second to make them feel loved

Last but not least: exercise 30 minutes a day for 7 days a week. I have already expressed how my 24 hours a day strategy works, but I am going to say it again. Sleep 8 hours , work 8 hours, kids ( activities , homework extra) 4 hours, TV/internet 2 hours = 2 hours left to exercise/per day. That's 14 hours a week! Now you’re going to say laundry, shopping blah blah blah. So get off the internet for 30 minutes and wow! There your 30 minutes!

If you haven't read my blog before, thank you. If you have, thank you!

I’m excited to help you put your health, family & love first .
