CARPET SOLUTION FOR SPRING!
Now that winter has been fighting its entryway into your home, your floors have probably taken a beating throughout this season. Jabro Carpet One Floor & Home gave some ideas on protecting your home's floors.
Sarah D'Ziurman advises to use entry mats. A rug or mat at the entrance of your home will help keep floors dry and lessen the amount of salt that creeps onto your floors. REMOVE your shoes as soon as you enter your home. A side note: in Hawaii and some of the other countries, you always remove your shoes when entering, a courtesy to the host but also a good health practice.
Sarah also adds, " Keep your floors dry and clear of salt and soil. Dry the floors immediately and make sure you vacuum or sweep up any salt or soil that may have made its way into your home. Happy cleaning to make life easier!

HAPPY ST. PATRICK'S DAY!
A little food for thought or maybe I should say a little Shamrock Shake for thought? Have you every thought what the ingredients were in a MacDonald's Shamrock Shake? I know I really did not pay too much attention to this but you may want to be aware of some of the ingredients.
To begin, 820 calories, 23 grams of fat, 15 grams of saturated fat, 1 gram of trans fat and 115 grams of sugar (quantities provided for large shake). Now for the ingredients and I am not going to list all due to space availability. Artificial colors, high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavor, sodium benzoate, Polysorbate 80. These are negative ingredients and studies have shown that artificial food colors have caused adverse behavioral reactions such as hyperactivity and immune reactive disorders.
It's time for a better option, one that is still tasty but also offers "super" nutrition. The Healthy Shamrock Shake Smoothie. To receive the recipe, go to our website: www.healthyhabitstoday.net and leave your information. Happy St. Patrick's Day and don't drink too many of the Shamrock Shakes unless it is a Healthy one.

What is Love?
My husband and I went to see a play about love, Who am I this Time? and it was very thought provoking. We all think about love and think it is the best thing in the world and it is. There are all kinds of love.
We won't be able to discuss all kinds but let's pick just the love between a man and a woman. When I met my husband at Wayne St. University, I never dreamed I would marry him. He was just a really nice person and we became friends. We have been together a number of years and people do ask how have you stay married so long. Well, fall in love with a good friend and then you can overlook some of the things that may disturb you. LOL
If love weren't such a big issue in our world, why do so many people search for it? Maybe if we all realize that there are no perfect people to be married to, we would not have so many breakups and hate to say it, but unhappy children. Marriage is a challenge and I don't want to say Marriage is hard but it is. There is an old saying, The grass is always greener on the other side, but remember it needs to be mowed. Love is here to stay!
See the play at the Open Book Theatre, Who am I this Time? It was excellent. Visit their website: www.openbooktc.com Playing another weekend of March 19, 2016.

YEAH! CONGRATULATIONS TO ME! GOOD JOB, GIRLFRIEND!
Today is the day after the 5 day DeTox Program that I went on. This is such an experience that I am so glad I did this.
The reason for the Congrats to myself is this is the FIRST TIME I have gone on a program dealing with food that I actually stayed on it without eating the illegal (as WW called this) stuff. I do feel wonderful and admittedly there were times when I thought a little different.
My symptoms of this Detox were mild; a little headachey at times, a little more tired at times and a little irritable the last two days. You may remember that when people in the past wanted to do a fast or detox, they would spend time meditating, reading, RESTING, and really taking it easy. That is unknown to Americans who like to be busy all the time. I did continue to do my exercise program (mainly walking and biking), working here at home on my business and at Tom's business. So really I didn't do alot of the resting but did go to bed early.
When the last day came, yesterday, I was so excited when I stepped on the scale (only weigh once a week always, do not do it more, it will make you very ANXIOUS) and it registered,
4 lbs. lost. Yeah! Measured myself, this is what you go on the Shaklee program, you know the usual spots. Bust lost 1/2 inch, Waist lost 1 inch, Hip lost 1/2 inch. Hallelujah! One thing we all must remember in losing weight, think of what a pound of fat looks like; well, you may not think of it as a lot but it really is. Our weight comes on, 1 LB. AT A TIME! and it is lost 1 LB. AT A TIME!
I am committed to losing the last 10 lbs. in the next 8 to 10 weeks. I remember when I had this fantastic bathing suit, it was so cute. Like a sailor design, top was white with buttons down the front, a navy blue bottom with cutouts on each side. Also trimmed on the top with red. Now, I may not be able to wear a bathing suit like this again but I want to wear a bathing suit that my " love handles" won't be so obvious. LOL. This has been such an experience and I would do this once a year in the Spring just to keep my body a little cleaner inside! Visit my website: www.smart-money.myshaklee.com and hope you enjoy this on my personal website! Have a wonderful week!!

WHY WOULD YOU DO A "HEALTHY BODY CLEANSE"?
Today is my second day of my DeTox Program. I have wanted to do this for a very long time and now is the time. Really wanted to see how my body would react to this.
The benefits are: Boost in energy usually the third day. (Have one more day to get that energy)
Better concentration and focus ( that's good, usually the third day)
Improved digestion (we can all use this and throw away those antacids)
Many experience a new GLOW to the skin and eyes (hey, I'm open to a glow, right?)
Enhanced ability to better Absorb essential nutrients (I'm for more ABSORPTION)
Cravings for sugar, caffeine, fats and nicotine REDUCED! (Sugar is the big one for me)
Hormonal system RETURNING TO BALANCE. (This is good)
Healthier Immune system (fewer colds and flu, this is good)
MAXIMIZED bowel regularity (May not be important but when it stops, we are in TROUBLE)
Reduced APPETITE! (This really excites me)
More RESTFUL sleep (That's good although I do have to say I sleep like a baby and maybe a
15 min. nap during the day if possible, love it!)
An ongoing CRAVING for vegetables
This is the big one and why I am doing this: I am committing to losing 10 lbs. and this is KICK-STARTING WEIGHT LOSS with real RESULTS in FIVE DAYS!

ARE YOU AS ACTIVE AS YOU THINK YOU ARE?
Taken from an article by Rashelle Brown, Twin Cities Public TV: Do you consider yourself active and productive most days of the week? Do you meet the recommended minimum of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week?
A Gallup poll asked individuals, In the last seven days, on how many days did you exercise for 30 or more minutes? If a respondent did so on 3 or more days of the past seven, he or she is a considered a frequent exerciser.
Most of us lead what we consider to be busy lives and use adjectives like "running around" or running errands." But if we pay closer attention, we find we're not as active as we thought.
Too much sedentary time is correlated with higher rates of cancer, heart disease and Type 2 diabetes, independent of exercise. This means even if you log 150 minutes of moderate to vigorous activity every week and if the rest of your waking minutes are spent sitting, you are still at risk.
Want an answer, can't give you all but have a few suggestions from Ms. Brown. The 1 for 1 Rule requires you to stand, walk or exercise one minute for every minute you spend sitting. Of course, this requires you to actually pay attention to how long you sit and it may also require you to make modifications to your home or work environment. Put your TV in a place you can watch while standing or even better walking on a treadmill or pedaling a stationary cycle is one way to slash sedentary minutes. Working at a stand-up desk or holding walking meetings are a couple of others.
You can also use an inactivity timer. You can set a wearable activity tracker to alert you when you've been inactive for too long. Or set the timer on your phone or computer to vibrate or ding every hour or more often.
These are some suggestions to get you moving in the right direction or do I say become more active than you think you are!!
