Resilience is a story of hope, faith, belief, and triumph.
At one point in our lives, no matter who we are, or how much we have, the rug will get pulled out from underneath us.
Resilience is my story, spanning over 30 years. It is one filled with physical, emotional and spiritual challenges as well as one filled with laughter, peace and joy.
One of America’s favorite pastimes is gathering for the Super Bowl, which often involves a spread of unhealthy food options. But you know what? Spending time with your friends and cheering for your favorite team should not have to add to your waistline! Eating clean can be easy, even at parties. You just need the tips and tools, and I’m excited to share them here for Women On The Fence readers!
My method is simple: I trim food decisions into a simple guide to eating right. The concept: 51 Food Laws to take with you to the grocery store. Perfect for Super Bowl Weekend!
So yesterday, I held myself accountable to my ONE New Year’s resolution – which was to become more domesticated. Please refrain from laughter. While you might already be Miss Martha Stewart in action, I am not. After doing my first-ever “Brazilian Body” class at the gym, I felt motivated. So I walked into the grocery store across the street and decided I was going to make my own green juice. You know, cuz it looks idiot-proof. And why should I keep buying the juices when I can make my own? How hard can it be to throw 5 veggies in a juicer? I found a recipe online from a reliable source, and I was ready to go.
And things looked so promising. Kale, parsley, lime, apples, cucumbers. The “healthy complexion” juice.
Blue Monday (considered the “Most Depressing Day of the Year”) was last Monday. Most of our New Year’s resolutions have run dry, and we find ourselves back to square one. Many also experience the holiday spending hangover – the visa bill is now in. We are smack in the middle of winter, with its end nowhere in sight. People are walking around in a rut.
This morning on this week’s Global TV segment, I shared some happiness boosters to incorporate into your life. Our segment was cut short due to an interview afterward with Canada’s beloved golfer Graham DeLaet, so I have given you more below.
Today’s we’re having THE TALK. No, no, not the talk you have with your teens about boyfriends, safe sex and monthly periods.
Well, actually, we are talking about our monthly period, but in a different way.
We have spoken about THAT time of the month before on the blog, but from our anonymous Man on the Fence’s perspective. You girls reacted in a BIG WAY!
I can’t believe it’s almost that time again… winter. Beside beautiful falling snow, winter often brings something entirely different — flu season! In fact, my family’s skin has already faded from golden brown (summer lovin’) to pale white to green-like. My boys have started their first runny noses, and are actually both home from school today (ugh). We slacked off with our health regime all summer long, because we had the benefits of natural sunlight, the great outdoors, and we ate a ton of fruit. However, with back-to-school, a bunch of kids packed into close quarters, for hours on end, it’s only a matter of time before everyone is sick again.
You’re going to do it. You know you’re going to do it. Hell, I’m going to do it! Yeah, I’m going ALL IN on Thanksgiving. Most of America will. However, you don’t have to deep fry your turkey or use four packs of butter in your “mashed taters” to have a great, tasty Thanksgiving.
Here are some healthy alternatives to help make your Thanksgiving a Healthsgiving:
Meatless Monday is a social media ritual we have never partaken in. Why? WomenOnTheFence® is not a cooking blog, and if you follow me in social media, you probably know about my two left feet in the kitchen. Buttttttt, when I tweeted out a picture of dinner last week, you went all, “SHARE THE RECIPE” on me. Let me start by saying: It just never happens. No one EVER asks me for my recipe. Business advice? Yah. Lifestyle and coaching advice? Yah. Social Media advice? Yah. Cooking advice? NEVER.
So, today I will honor that special occasion of someone asking ME for a recipe. Here you are. I will hashtag it #iMadeThis. Here was the finished product that got you all excited.
I moved to Los Angeles from Seattle ten years ago with a very mediocre body image. If I exercised and ate right, I felt better. I never had a six pack or anything hard core like that, but I still thought I looked okay. Then, when I arrived in Los Angeles (otherwise known as Lala Land) and started pursuing acting, the way I ‘felt’ wasn’t gonna cut it according to my agents and manager.
Because things have gotten a little HEAVY around here lately (no pun intended)… 😉 Beside Meals on Wheels, feel free to CAPTION THIS below. 😉
How about MULTI-TASKING?!
I help busy women (like you!) prioritize self-care so you can experience less stress, more calm and greater joy every day!
