The rest of your life.

 

 RESPONSIBILITIES:

Must be willing to be hated, at least temporarily, until someone needs $20.

Must be willing to bite tongue repeatedly.

Also, must possess the physical stamina of a pack mule and be able to go from zero to 60 mph in three seconds flat in case, this time, the screams from the backyard are not someone just crying wolf.

Must be willing to face stimulating technical challenges, such as small gadget repair, mysteriously sluggish toilets and stuck zippers.

You pay them!

Offering frequent raises and bonuses.

A balloon payment is due when they turn 18 because of the assumption that college will help them become financially independent.

Mommy and Daddy, are you meeting my emotional needs?

Hi mom:

that consequences to my actions are based on principle
not emotions..

Finally, I need WINGS!
Freedom at the APPROPRIATE AGE
and maturity level to make my own choices in life...

Check out my new site!

Hi friends, you may be wondering why I have been neglecting my blog!  Well, here it is!  I'd like to give you a glimpse of my new site.  As all of you may know, I am in a quest for a healthier, stronger body!  In couple of my previous posts, I made the decision to get healthy again.   I feel selfish however, not sharing what I know, so I built this new site for many reasons, but mainly to encourage people to live a healthy life.  

Since my son was born, he has inspired me to be the kind of mom he can grow up to be proud of.  I can't very well do that if I'm not healthy!  In order to live a long life and enjoy the every day adventures of watching my son grow up,  I have to create a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family.  I hope you do too :)  

Here are some tips I'd like to share.  Once you are done, click on the title link for more information.  Thanks, and hope to get some feed back from you all.  God bless!


HYDRATE 

WHY START WITH WATER?

Dehydration is subtle, so subtle that most people are unaware of their need for water. Statistically, more than 90 percent of us are dehydrated; we are not getting the amount of water our bodies need to operate at optimal capacity.

Water is the most important nutrient that our bodies need

to properly function and plays a critical role in the natural metabolic, digestive, and cellular regeneration processes. When our bodies become dehydrated, our organs suffer, resulting in the prevalence of many degenerative diseases. All major systems of the body depend on water!

RECOMMENDATION: Drink at least two-thirds of an ounce of water per pound of body weight each day. Make an intentional effort daily to drink more water and less soda, coffee, and other non-beneficial beverages.

WALK

WHY IS WALKING THE SECOND STEP? Anyone, even someone not used to a regular exercise program, can instantly benefit from walking. Walking requires little time and no equipment. In fact, research has shown that brisk walking can be more beneficial and effective to overall health than extended running workouts. Walking is easy on the joints and bones, increases stamina and improves mobility, expands heart and cardiovascular functions, reduces stress, improves mental alertness and function, assists in weight loss, and promotes proper organ functions.

RECOMMENDATION: Determine to walk more each day by parking further away, taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and walking in the neighborhood at night.

CLEANSE

WHY IS CLEANSING A CRITICAL STEP IN GOOD HEALTH? Poor digestion is one of our country's major health problems. Your digestive system is a complex arrangement of organs and intestines, an assortment of acids, bacteria, and enzymes designed to nourish vital organs and body systems. Your food and drink must be broken down into small molecules of nutrients before they can be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. A clogged or poorly functioning digestive system prevents the absorption of nutrients and the elimination of toxins which are damaging to the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, and other vital organs. Cleansing your body of harmful toxins and debris allows it to fully absorb and utilize the nutrients you take in through foods and natural supplements. When toxic buildup isn't cleared away, it prevents your body from converting the nutrients you consume into the energy you require. "90% of all disease and discomfort is directly or indirectly related to an unclean colon Royal Academy of Physicians of Great Britain."

RECOMMENDATION: Cleanse your body with Unicity's Paraway Pack, which includes everything you need for a high-powered, synergistic cleanse. It contains a proprietary combination of 29 highly-effective Chinese and American herbs and a unique fiber matrix that work together to help the body eliminate harmful organisms and support a clean, healthy, pro-bionic digestive tract.

NOURISH

ARE WE EATING THE RIGHT THINGS? Unfortunately, today's diets are made up of more fats, more sugars, more carbohydrates and fewer nutritionally rich foods. This, combined with the fact that we can't realistically eat 5-9 servings of fruits and vegetables every day, means we are not getting the vital essential vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, and phytochemicals so critical to building and maintaining good health. Properly formulated, natural supplements bridge the gap between our bodies' increasing need for greater nutrition and the decline of nutrition in our food.

RECOMMENDATION: Use Unicity's LifeHealth on the go. It is one of the most unique, scientifically advanced nutritional formulations available in the market today. LifeHealth on the go delivers to your body core important nutrients that power the health and vitality of every system in your body. LifeHealth on the go is packed with 30 daily servings of a tasty powder formula that provides maximum absorption and immediate benefit to your body. You simply pour the powder on your tongue or mix it with water or juice.

TARGET

TARGET YOUR SPECIFIC NEEDS Once you have established a foundation of health through HYDRATION, WALKING, CLEANSING, NOURISHING your core, you can expand your focus to include specific areas of concern. Here's where Unicity's breadth of experience and comprehensive product range will serve you. Unlike single-faceted supplement companies, who attempt to cover the body's entire range of nutritional needs in a single product, Unicity has more than 150 products to help restore and support your body's health. Unicity's product line is both extensive and specific. We provide proven, tested products formulated with ingredients at efficacious levels to support the body's key systems.

Ten Month Old Baby Driver Stops Traffic!

Ten month old baby driver shocks the world when he stopped traffic while teaching his mother how to drive!

SAFETY TIP #1: Keep your eyes on the road! Leave the make up at home. You are my mommy and you will always look beautiful to me :)

SAFETY TIP#2: Keep both hands at the 3' and 9 O'clock position. Don't worry about the mess I'm making in the back..your car will never be clean again!

SAFETY TIP #3: Always be aware of your surrounding traffic, you'll never know when a crazy Paramedic ambulance comes flying through the intersection!

SAFETY TIP#4: Always keep your hand on the wheel..Yes, even if you're turning your head to check on the little old Asian lady that just swerved into your lane! You would think she'd have better peripheral vision..LOL!!! :)

"Hey!..what's wrong with that guy..can't you see I'm driving here!..geese!

SAFETY TIP #5: Wear your seat belt..oops! Maybe I should write to Ford and ask them why they haven't invented a seat belt that doesn't cut my circulation off at the neck!

(No..this isn't a Britney Spears brain fart!..These were taken at a Parking lot) :)

Should Children witness Child Birth?

Some of you may not know this, I was a Paramedic and worked in EMS for over 10 years before my back injury. While on medical leave is when I had my son, Jordan. I miss my work, so when ever I get the opportunity to live my Paramedic experiences vicariously through these, I love to share them!



Due to a power outage, only one paramedic responded to the call. The house was very dark so the paramedic asked Kathleen, a 3-yr old girl to hold a flashlight high over her mommy so he could see while he helped deliver the baby. Very diligently, Kathleen did as she was asked. Heidi pushed and pushed and after a little while, Connor was born. The paramedic lifted him by his little feet and spanked him on his bottom. Connor began to cry. The paramedic then thanked Kathleen for her help and asked the wide-eyed 3-yr old what she thought about what she had just witnessed. Kathleen quickly responded, 'He shouldn't have crawled in there in the first place ........spank his butt again!'








If you don't laugh at this one, there's no hope for you.

Raising a child with Character and Integrity

Begin in infancy: Parents are in a great degree responsible for the mold given to the character of their children. It is our solemn duty to train our children to right habits and behavior. The parents work must begin in infancy, so they may receive the right impress of character or else the world may put its stamp on their mind and heart.

The importance of the first three years: The first three years is the time in which to bend the tiny twig. Moms should understand the importance attaching this period. It is here where their foundation is laid.

Proper words of commendation: Whenever you can speak a word of commendation for your child's conduct, you should do so. You should encourage them by words of approval (not flattery) and looks of love. These will be a sunshine to the heart of a child and will lead to the cultivation of self-respect and pride of character rather than self-centeredness and selfishness.

A day of reckoning for parents: Happy are the parents who are a true reflection of the divine, so that the promises of God awaken in your child gratitude and reverence. The parents whose tenderness and justice and long-suffering interpret to to your child the love, justice and long-suffering of God, and who by teaching your child to love, trust and obey you, you are teaching your child to love, trust and obey their Father in heaven. When parents and children meet at the final reckoning, what a scene it will be :)

Losing baby phat! Mommy-robics for the busy mom

         

Hi everyone! Thank you all for joining in my discussion "Daddy wants his sexy mama back". I got so many useful tips, and links that I thought I'd put it all together for all the busy moms out there on their quest to lose the baby phat!

Let me start by saying that my hubby doesn't care how much I weigh!! This is my quest to get healthy and have the energy to enjoy my son and my hubby! Like RTBjr73 said " The number one reason is to get healthy and to set a good example for our kids"

For starters; I got inspired by my blogger friend Gretchen-she's a mom on a mission! I was so impressed with her perseverance and focus. She's made such an amazing progress!! Kinda jealous to tell you the truth! :) I thought I should join her quest!

• 

  Searchingwithin brought up a good point! Drink water! HYDRATE, HYDRATE, HYDRATE! There's no better way to help the body process fat than by drinking water instead of sodas and high sugared juices!! ( I gained 25lbs in my first trimester due to drinking "natural sodas"!)..J-LO booty or not, that is just way too much weight to gain at once!

  
  

• All you need is 10 MINUTES! Christinebean is a firm believer of the "The ten minute solution" with Pilates. Busy mommy or not, you are worth TEN MINUTES!

  
  
• Finally, Mayjah has the most creative post on exercising while multi-tasking! What a better way to exercise while you are on the computer, or washing dishes or even, yes..while watching "Desperate housewives" on TV!! She did mention that you may be suddenly attacked by your other half while doing some of these!  I agree!
  
  
  So, without further adew... here is my version of

MOMMY-ROBICS

CARDIO: Grab a set of your favorite tunes, load them up to your ipod or Mp3 player, put on some sexy workout gear, put your baby on his stroller/wagon/bike seat and head for a stroll around your neighborhood. While your walking and listening to some upbeat music you accomplish two things: It BOOSTS UP YOUR MOOD and it provokes you to WALK FASTER! Jog if you like the challenge of pushing the stroller on an uphill!! That will get your legs warmed up real fast! (Sexy workout gear is for psychological motivation ladies, not meant for flirting with your neighbor! ;)

LEG LIFTS/TUMMY TUCK (lower abdominal pooch)

A. Start flat on the floor, baby rests on top of your feet.  

Good to start with feet touching the floor.

B. Raise your legs so that knees are bent at 90 degree angle.  Use your stomach muscles to lift.

So far I can only do 2 sets/of 10 on all these..But you can shoot for more!!

J-LO HINEY TIGHTENER-UPPERS (say that ten times fast)

A. Start with lower back flat on 

the floor. Use baby on your stomach as resistant weight.  He has fun watching you sweat!

B. Use your butt muscles to lift your torso into a straight line with your legs.  SQUEEZE 

THEM BUTT CHEEKS!

MOMMY PUSH-UPS ( arm flab, booby boost )

A. Start with knees bent, place baby under you so you're forced to lift your weight :) Elbows bent. Stomach and back in a straight line.

B. Lift to straighten elbows, give your baby a smile! keep knees bent at 90 degree angle, HOLD!

 

BABY BENCH PRESS/Low tummy tuck 

A. Start with feet and back flat on floor. Lift baby up "Super Boy!"

He'll like flying.

B. As you lower baby, lift legs off the floor as you extend them. Repeat (don't forget-BREATHE)

CORE STABILIZATION (Tummy tuck)

A. Start belly side down, up on elbows at 90 degree angle. Tips of toes facing down and ankle at 90 degree angle.

B. Lift your weight off the floor on the tips of your toes and elbows. Use Abdominal muscles to lift your core.  KISS BABY!!

And there goes your ten minutes!! Not long but effective, specially when you're using an 19 lbs weight!!  I can guarantee your baby will have a blast and you will be sore in the morning!  You're other half may have to sit it out for a few nights :(  But it's worth it at the end.

Stay tunned for follow up posts.  Feel free to grab my widget on your way out to keep up with my next post on this quest.   Don't forget to leave your link if you wanna join and play!!
