We are what we eat, that's what they say right?  But, do you believe it?  One of the things I found that helped keep me calm and in a better mood is to get moving more and eat better.  We need to find ways to keep our stressors down and to find alternate ways of reducing stress or ways to balance our body, mind, and spirit which I believe is key to us living happier lives.  Today's episode is about a couple of quick ways to help preserve them.   

Do you crave sugar?  Who doesn't love sugar?  It's one of those things we couldn't get enough of a kid - do you agree?  Candy, candy, and more candy (that was our motto).  We couldn't get enough of it, and, our poor parents had to deal with us on a sugar high bouncing off the walls for hours on end after we consumed our candy bar delights.

As time goes by, we learn how bad sugar is for us.  For a number of years now I've been trying to quit sugar.  I haven't been able to quit it altogether, but I'm trying to become more diligent about the amount of it I consume.  Although, I must confess, last night I was pretty bad.  My beau and I consumed way too many Haagen Daz ice cream bars.  They were on sale and we thought, "Why not?"  We deserve a treat yes?  But, then, we did it, we ate them and they were, of course, delicious but then my guilt took over.  I thought to myself "why did I just let myself do this?", "I've been so good, and now I just ruined it all"  has this ever happened to you?

We beat ourselves up when we don't do the right thing.  But, one of the things I've learned is that we shouldn't make ourselves unhappy or upset when we make a mistake.  It's OK to make them just as long as we can course-correct, which is what I'm doing today.

This book by JJ Virgin has helped me in the sugar craving section.  I hope you'll pick up a copy if you have issues battling sugar as I do.  She's pretty freakin' amazing.
