The Lean Belly Shot - Wine drinker?

Ladies and gentleman, are you looking for a tasty drink that will help to give you a lean belly? Look no further than my blog! Here is the recipe from Dr. Oz:

1oz Gin
3oz Club Soda
5 mint leaves, muddled
1tsp grated fresh ginger
cucumber slices

140 calories or less

Also, are you a wine drinker? Do you get a lot of headaches? Chances are it is caused from the nitrates within the wine itself.

Want a heart-healthy wine? Pinot Noir is the best way to go.

Believable lies

There are people in this world that lie so much. It comes to a point that when their lies work really well for them, they begin to feel personal peace, sensation, and satisfaction. Following that point, they begin to believe their own lies and lie on a regular basis because their continuous lies have worked for them over and over (peace, sensation, and satisfaction). These people find that if they lie and they don't get caught, that it actually is more positive for them because it creates less drama. In reality this point serves a great purpose, because it can keep peace at some points. Only when the lie is found will it cause great harm. The offender is willing to automatically take that risk, however painful it is. Not getting caught outweighs getting caught because they are so good at it.

Drama all over...

I am not happy with how things have been playing out in the past week. Just saying...and I don't mean personally, but just other things going on around me. Simply put: I'm tired of the drama and it needs to stop. I'm referencing the drama up north and the little love situations that have been taking place with other people within the group. When we go on vacation, it's meant to be a good time, not drama filled.

That's all I have to say about that.

Spoiling children...a walking contradiction?

The following words are my response taken from a conversation I had on FB in regards to someone commenting that "all children deserve a great deal of spoiling in their lives."

We complain about children growing up into young adults and not appreciating a damn thing. When we spoil children, all we are doing is training them to grow up and not appreciate anything. I think it must be done in moderation and be done appropriately. There's a way to approach everything in a healthy manner.

I just have an issue with this, that's all. Not trying to be a downer. I think kids are spoiled too much and they grow up not appreciating what they have; and then we turn around and complain about them not appreciating anything when all we are doing is training them for it in the first place! We are all walking contradictions!!

Omega 3s...the real deal

I watched an interesting episode of Dr. Oz yesterday (yes I know, kinda lame) and he had some really good information on there regarding Omega 3 fatty acids. He mentioned that a lot of us are not taking the right fish oil supplements (a high source of Omega 3s).

When shopping for Omega 3s, here are the do's and the do nots:

1. DO buy the Omega 3s that are DHA or EPA labeled.
2. DO NOT buy the fish oil labeled ALA (this is what the majority of Americans are consuming, which is misleading because it has little to no Omega 3 fatty acids within).

Why DHA or EPA?
1. This oil comes from the salmon (highest Omega 3 count) that eat natural algae, which is where the good Omegas come from.

Why NOT ALA?
1. Fish oil labeled as ALA come from salmon that are farm raised and fed with corn meal (no source of Omega 3's at all, but rather Omega 6 oils, which are bad if we consume too many of those.)

So, stick with DHA or EPA labeled fish oils as they will benefit you in the long run due to be packed with many Omega 3s.
