Memorial-Health-New Life

A year ago today my Father in Law passed away, I was so blessed to know him for almost six years. He was the first person my husband introduced me to from his family a week after we met, and we instantly clicked.  He cooked for me and my first baby, really delicious food, he was born in Romania, spoke seven languages, fought for Israel before it was Israel, and had three of the most amazing kids, along with my husband, I am so happy to have a new brother and sister.

In my life I have always needed balance, and luckily good genes started me off with good health, but it is something we have to actively maintain.  I feel so blessed to be the advocate of living a Healthy, Active Lifestyle in our community.  I firmly believe there is no one way, perfect way, or right way for every person, it is very individual, and I really believe that it all works, but we must find what works for us.  What works for me is Herbalife, and now I am changing up my program a bit.  The meal shakes have a soy isolate, which is the protein of soy, I feel energy, I feel good, and when I first got on the program after my daughter was born, I lost 10 pounds in one month.  For some reason I am not able to change the number on the scale.  I am so happy with my energy, how I feel, my strength, and my bodyfat.  I am doing many things to make my body healthy in general, I got my teeth done, yearly visits to the doctor or gynecologist, all of these are a must to make sure everything is working how it is supposed to.  So I have decided just to see if it makes a difference for me, to stop using the soy and use the Herbalife Allergen Free shake, which is made of sesame, pea, and rice protein, I will keep you posted.  I stopped eating dairy for a month and it made no difference, I love dairy so much, I am not eating it as much as I used to, but it is one of my pleasures in life, my kids love it too - YUM!

I was just visiting a good friend that has a new baby, she was telling me her birth story, and I wanted to share how amazing things could be if we just had patience, and watchful waiting.  This was her third, she had a C section with her first, and a Vbac with her second, and really wanted a Vbac with her third.  She was 10 days late, she really didn't want to be induced, Thank God her labor started on a Friday, went all through Saturday, and Sunday morning completely stalled.  Her Doula told her that when her brain and body is busy with her other kids, it cannot let go and focus on the labor.  So the whole Sunday she spent only with her Doula, walking, eventually driving in a car listening to music.  Then went home to take a shower and the water broke and her doula saw that it was time to go, at the hospital she found out she was 6 centimeters, wanted an epidural, but her Doula told her to order it but see what the body does.  She had a beautiful Vbac in an hour, from 6-10 in an hour.  It makes me so happy to hear that she had someone with her, coaching her, and letting her body birth.  Thank God for it all just in case, but I would like to think if we just stay home, breathe, shower, rest, eat, be comfortable, the body will be happy to progress.  Thank God all my babies were in the right direction!

Feeling Blessed,
Waiting for my baby to wake from his nap to meet a friend for a power walk,
Keep squeezing it in my friends, it is so gorgeous outside,
DO SOMETHING JUST FOR YOU!
