Do you really want to be fit?
Do you ever give up what you want MOST for what you want NOW? Think about it... If what you want most is to lose the weight—once and for all—but then you give in and order pizza for dinner, you’ve just given up what you want MOST (a healthier, leaner body) for what you wanted NOW (convenient and comforting food). It’s worth thinking about. Are your actions congruent with your goals? This is true of any goal, it’s not limited to your fitness journey. If you want to write a book, you’d better make time to sit down and type. If you want to travel the globe, you’d better get yourself a passport. If you want to run a marathon, you’d better start training. If you want your kids to live a healthy life, you’d better model it for them. If your actions don’t support your goal, then you’ll never accomplish it, and maybe you didn’t really want it. Your actions will always dictate your results. If getting fit is something that you really want, take the action to reach out to me to get started on a fitness plan that will give you the opportunity to do what’s hard now, to achieve the body that you really want. I’m here to help you.    It’s Cheaper to be Healthy Than It Is to be Sick  Want to save $1,000 a year? A lot of people could if they would just cut sodas out of their budgets. And it’s just one example that proves being cheap about your health is way more expensive than following healthy habits around diet and exercise. That’s from health coach Kathryn Eyring. And we hear similar complaints about fitness all the time. People tell us they can’t afford to exercise. We’re not even sure what that means, since exercise doesn’t actually cost anything, and there are options for everyone. We also notice a lot of those folks spending: $5 a day on a Starbucks drink Hundreds of dollars eating out and drinking And who knows how much on Netflix and all the other subscription TV services that no one thinks twice about these days. Unhealthy habits lead to untold financial costs – doctor visits, sick days, missed opportunities, prescription medications, new clothes, etc. But a healthy diet and regular exercise pay off their investment countless times over. Kathryn points out that muscle mass lowers sugar levels; that exercise reduces costs of cardiovascular disease, heart disease, and obesity; and it improves bone health and balance. So, please think about what’s at the root of the “I can’t afford it” excuse before you pour your next soda while sitting in front of the tube. We think you’re worth it. No. We know it. 22 Reasons To Drink Mangosteen Juice A coworker of mine at work brought in a mangosteen supplement drink and she was selling it for $30 (her price) for a 25 fl oz bottle. She also gave me information and these 22 reasons why everyone should be drinking mangosteen juice:
1. Prevents hardening of the arteries 2. Protects the heart muscle 3. Anti-Parkinson, anti-Alzheimer and other forms of dementia 4. Anti-depressant 5. Prevents and arrest fungus 6. Prevents bacterial infections 7. Viral fighters and prevention of infections 8. Prevents gum disease 9. Anti-diarrheal 10. Lowers fevers 11. Eye care-prevents glaucoma and cataracts 12. Pansystemic - a synergistic effect on the whole body 13. Energy boosters - anti-fatigue 14. Anti-aging 15. Weight loss (wooo, I'll drink to this!) 16. Lowers blood fat (what the heck, I didn't know there is fat in our blood!) 17. Anti-tumor benefits 18. Cancer: Mangosteen helps in the prevention of cancer with its powerful antioxidants. 19. Lowers blood pressure 20. Numerous references to "Immunostimulants" 21. Blood sugar lowering 22. It tastes good
I thought to myself, holy smokes! Who in the world would buy that? What is mangosteen? I have never heard of it or have the slightest idea what it looks like.
Upon further research, the mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana) is a tropical evergreen tree, believed to have originated in the Sunda Islands and the Moluccas. The tree grows from 7 to 25 meters tall. The edible fruit is deep reddish purple when ripe. In Asia, the mangosteen fruit is known as the "Queen of Fruits," while the durian (Durio spp.) is known as the "King of Fruits." It is closely related to other edible tropical fruits such as button mangosteen and lemon drop mangosteen.
>span class="qowt-font6-Arial">mangosteen has 5 fruits (round up figure).
I have eaten a lot of exotic fruits in my life, including the King Of Fruits - durian, but I have never seen or tasted this Queen of Fruits. I bought the $30 bottle from my coworker and chucked down the mangosteen juice. I do feel more energetic for the rest of day, and I will have to let you know in the near future if it will help lose some weight! Cauliflower Smash
