What Essential Oils Can Help Ease My Fibromyalgia?

So, I'm on a mission.  As you may or may not know, I am going to school for massage therapy.  It has been a very challenging journey so far, and I still have 4 more months to go.  On the positive side, I have 5 months done, so I am more than halfway there!

Bad Weight-Loss Technique...

Exercising on an Empty Stomach

"It's embarrassing to admit, but I used to exercise in the morning on an empty stomach. Not only did I worry about getting cramps if I ate, but I also thought it could speed up weight loss. The idea seems logical — if you don't have any food in your belly, your body will start using up stores of fat as its energy source. I'm not the only one. "

This is an interesting article.  I'm not sure how I feel about all of it, but I DO believe that real food trumps chemicals that just look and taste like real food.

Worst Diet Advice

"Nutrition history is riddled with nonsense. 
People have been advised to do all sorts of strange things that challenge common sense.Some of these things are not only useless, but potentially harmful.
The worst part… a lot of this misguided advice is still being pushed.
Here are the top 5 contenders for the worst diet advice in history."

Steer Clear of These Foods

Okay, I'm upset about the Prego.  Anyone have a good, easy recipe for spaghetti sauce?

Unfortunately, there are dozens of foods that are so bad for you that they should be permanentlyeliminated from your diet.In many cases, the key problem is that these foods contain ingredients that encourage your body to store fat and stop you from losing weight.
However, it is not always easy to spot these unhealthy foods just by looking at them, as clever advertising may be used to make the foods appear innocent.
By removing the following meals and snacks from your kitchen cupboards, you will maximize your chances of staying fit and healthy for as long as possible.

YOU are Amazing!

If you are suffering from any kind of chronic illness, it is hard not to compare yourself to others, including the person you "used to be".  I've said it many times. I "used to be able to...".

But you know what? What is important is to be the best YOU that you can be TODAY.

Don't look back. Don't give away your joy. You deserve so much more.

Thanks for the picture, Marvine! <3
