I loved Ashley's top tips for more energy! Her idea of getting a massage and being a Qualitarian are my favorite tips :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ashley!!
Personally, I never got hooked on coffee and it turned out to be a blessing. I'm allergic to it and it sends my lil heart in to a FIT (like blood pressure that reads 180/100). I keep things simple by making sure I get as much sleep as I can and eating well-balanced meals (even when I want nothing but a big bowl of sugar to keep me going). By making sure I get enough protein and good complex carbohydrates I'm able to function. Also, the fact that I make the time to hit the gym 5-6 days a week helps to give me energy. The first few weeks were hard and it seems counterintuitive, but it really does make a huge difference in my energy levels.
ReplyDeleteGreat chat - thanks so much! Fun format, and great to have it all on FB to go back to and review in the morning while I sip my coffee (gasp! LOL!). Seriously, though, I learned that I am doing some stuff right :-)
ReplyDeleteI would love to learn more about nutrient balancing - and make it a habit that's natural, not needing to consult a book or a list at every meal. I loved the idea of water with lemon to counteract my coffee habit - that's an easy one I can start (again!) right away.
Great chat. I am glad I was able to follow on FB because I am a Twitter-phobe. After hearing Trudy Scott speak at the conference as well as reading this chat with Ashley Koff, I am committing to a few small but MAJOR (to me) changes in my diet. Thank goodness I have my HMN ladies for support!
ReplyDeleteGreat chat. Thanks for putting it together. I always miss the twitter parties, this was much more accessible for me. Was interesting how many Mom's rely on coffee to get through the day. I gave up caffeine many years ago and just recently I have considered just having a little bit to get me through the day with my 2 year old. Good to be reminded of all the other wonderful ways to regain energy. Also wonderful reminder that finding time to recharge with meditation, exercise and yoga need to be a priority in my life. Looking forward to reading the book and learning more about energy/food balancing. Thanks again ladies and HMN for helping to enrich our lives.
ReplyDeleteoops - did't catch that it was EST not PST... I loved going back and reading the comments though - very inspiring :) thank you!
ReplyDeletei really enjoyed reading about BALANCE!! and I love that i can go back tomorrow and review the chat on FB :) thank you everyone!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chat! I am a mom who could sure use some more energy. The tips were great! I have 2 kids ages 3 and 1 and I just went back to work part time. I am feeling very challenged and tired. I know I need to make some major changes in order to have more energy! I should go to bed now and get some sleep. Thanks for the giveaway and chat!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the great info. This is wonderful for a mom who is trying to live as healthy as possible.
ReplyDeletei really liked all the advice she had to offer!! now the hard part..... putting it into action!! thank you HMN!!
