Why don't we as Americans drink enough water?
There are so many highly carbonated drinks out there (Soda, Seltzer, etc) that too often then not we drink those and think we're still getting enough water in our systems. Also juice, milk, and Iced Tea don't really count but there are tons of items that do help with water intake! Try having steamed veggies, rice, and other items that have water already in them and this will help up your water intake! Also try drinking a cup of water before meals and you will not have to overeat!
Craving a lot of sweets?
This is a big hint of dehydration in your body...when your body starts craving sugary sweets...instead of eating a cookie or candy have a glass of water! If you don't like plain water try adding a lemon or lime to it for flavor! Your body will thank you later!

Two delicious dinners
In the last week I've created two amazing dinners (sorry no pictures) but this is what they consisted of:
1. Steamed Organic Aspargus, Organic Kale, A little bit of fresh ginger, Melted Daiya Cheese, Lucini Marinara Sauce, on Toasted Udi's Bread! Delectable!
2. Toasted Udi's Bread with Fresh Whipped Hummus w/Cucumber and Carrots with a little bit of sea-salt! Amazing!
Love how I feel after these meals! Definitely cutting out red meat and chicken! I'm really big into the Blood Type diet right now! I'm a B+!

Presidential Elections
On the day of Presidential Elections I'm not going to say anything about politics in my post but I am going to say that Michelle Obama has been excellent for creating a Healthier initiative for Children.
On a different note the weather is getting very cold outside and I wish it were warmer! What are some of the key vitamins and herbal supplements you are taking to stay healthy with both your digestive system and overall health? One of mine is: Rainbow Light's Advanced Enzyme System. I'm also taking Amazing Grass's Chocolate Superfood Powder mixed in a Strawberry Banana Smoothie!
I was a huge INKOS fan (White Tea) for awhile...especially their HoneyDew flavor but now I'm really into Mamma Chia drinks! My favorite flavor is Coconut Mango...its soooooooooo delicious and refreshing!
Plus the chia adds an energetic boost!

A look back on positivity
Starting my classes for IIN I am going to take a look back on positivity. I have not always been a very happy person (mostly from being bullied as a child). I still see times that I am not as confident as I would like to be. I am however improving that everyday and this class is really helping already!
On another note I found this great recipe and wanted to share it w/all of you! http://www.edibleharmony.com/paleo-pumpkin-donuts/ I can't wait to make these! They look so yummy! I need to start baking again! Who's up for a gluten free baking party?
I'm officially done w/my job at the American Cancer Society. I was a temp. (Recruiter for the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk). Currently I'm looking for a position at Whole foods (Buyer or Healthy Eating Specialist) or something in the health and wellness industry (I know pretty much the same thing)! So excited for this brand new beginning and the chance to get back to me.
3 things I plan on doing it the next year which are diff. from what I used to do are: 1. Get into Meditation and possibly Yoga, 2. Keep up w/this Blog, 3. Live a more relaxing and happy life!

Exciting new possibilities
We just completed the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk yesterday in Queens (Flushing Meadows Park) I am a temp for the American Cancer Society (just for this walk, prep, post, etc) We raised $905,000...the most we've raised yet! We also had 15,000 walkers! This is an amazing feat! I want to give a special shout-out to my mother-in-law Shelley that reached Pacesetter status at $2500.
On another note, I have been really into this site lately ( http://www.wellandgoodnyc.com/2012/10/22/whats-your-workout-dosha/ ) and wanted to share it with all of you! I love ayurvedic! We're having a special meeting this Thursday for all of the IIN new students (October) along with my lovely Genuine Girlfriends at David's Tea (in the West Village) at 7pm. So if you're in the area definitely come on by!

Best Brunch in NYC
I recently visited a restaurant in Park Slope with my Genuine Girlfriends meetup group and LOVED IT! Its called Sun in Bloom and they have Gluten & Dairy free Pancakes! Plus their cleanses are delicious! Gotta love a new healthy place for brunch! Now if only they made Gluten Dairy Free Waffles!
Starting school at IIN
I signed up a few weeks ago to become a Health Coach with Institute for Integrative Nutrition. I'm so excited for this amazing journey and starting a practice working towards helping children to stop being Picky Eaters while combining my two other loves (working with food allergies and new mom's)! When I'm not doing this blog I'm also posting on https://www.facebook.com/GlutenFreeDeliciousness
