If you have been following me, you guys know that I’ve committed to taking my health back into my own hands. I was tired of getting no answers from doctors. After being poked, prodded, tested, scanned and put through the ringer, I chose to take my health back. Doctors were ready to label me as Chronic Fatigue and load me up with meds for my chronic pain and headaches. I got tired of it.

I chose to take control of my health and that started by finding a way to nourish my body with all the RIGHT things. It led me to Isagenix. I am forever changed thanks to Isagenix.

However, I still needed to know that I could go out to dinner and not have my health pay the price afterwards. I needed to find places that I could eat HEALTHY meals, while out to dinner, or lunch, or even breakfast, with my friends and family! So, I went on a search through the fabulous World Wide Web!

What I found on the big “www” was SURPRISINGLY FABULOUS! I stumbled across a website for those of us in the real world, who wanted to eat healthier when we left the comforts of our homes, with our homemade foods. The site: HealthyDiningFinder.com .

This website works with top restaurants all over the United States to be able to bring all of us ACCURATE nutrition information on great-tasting dietitian-approved healthy menu choices. Pretty cool, right? I cannot tell you how excited I was to find this site.

Restaurants that want to be on the site pay a fee. Then they supply the menu to dietitians, who then verify each of these menu items to make sure it fits into the set criteria Healthy Dining has for a healthy meal.

The criteria? Glad you want to know, because that’s what I asked about first when I spoke with Erica Bohm, VP and Director of Strategic Partnerships. She explained the entire system is based on the following:

Entrees/full meals, must have at least 2 of the following: lean proteins and/or fruits/vegetables and/or whole grains; 750 calories or less; 25 grams of fat or less; 8 grams of saturated fat or less. Additionally, featured entrees cannot contain more than 2,000 mg. sodium. As for side dishes, appetizers and desserts, those have a whole set of criteria of their own. They must be 250 calories or less, have 8 grams of fat or less and must have 3 grams of saturated fat or less. They also cannot contain more than 750 mg. sodium.

The nuts and bolts of the entire system can be found on their site. I highly recommend checking it out, because it’s rather impressive. All of the menu items listed on the HealthyDiningFinder.com site have been verified by a team of dietitians!

One of my favorite parts of this site is the Sodium Savvy section. If a restaurant wants to have their meals on here, their entrees must have 750 mg of sodium or less. Sodium Savvy appetizers, side dishes and desserts, MUST contain 250 mg of sodium or less. I love this, because people all over are battling with heart issues and The American Heart Association is always educating people on the dangers of sodium!

My absolute favorite part of this site: Kids LiveWell .

Parents have such a battle these days. We’re all rushing to events, trying to get homework done and still get our kids fed. Many times we’re stuck at the drive thru. Trust me, I totally understand. I only have my daughter’s activities happening right now, my son comes along for the ride to her Jiu Jitsu and Dance classes. I might have to split myself in half when he’s ready for activities! When we’re running around, the quickest answer to feeding them is drive thru at local fast food places. Terrible. I know.

However, with this site, I can actually get a real answer as to what is just “a little better” for the kids at these types of places. The section to head to for this is Kids LiveWell. It has all the restaurants you can click on, it’ll show you what is best for your kids to eat. Let’s face it, the best for your kids is home cooked foods, but we are HUMAN and we can’t always do that. Even if we want to! So when you’re under the gun, at least you can make “better choices” at your local fast food, or casual dining places.

The Kids LiveWell area has a special set of criteria for nutrition. Love this. It really breaks it all down for you with the calories, and more. Insanely helpful for parents, grandparents and anyone feeding kids!

HealthyDiningfinder.com can be searched by the area you live in, just enter your zip code, or town and state. Restaurants in your area pop up. You can search alphabetically, too. Once you enter your town and state, a page comes up with a list of restaurants in your area. It also lets you enter more detailed information, like your exact address and search within a mile radius. You can pick a price range, a cuisine and a specialty, like Sodium Savvy or Kids LiveWell. OR just click on the restaurant you’re interested in, like Boston Market, IHOP, Denny’s, Blimpie, Friendly’s, Chili’s and the list goes on and on!

I’m extremely impressed with this site and I cannot wait for them to start adding Gluten Free items onto the site. I was told it would be within the year, so keep checking back to find your favorite Gluten Free items! They also add new restaurants all the time! Soon they will be adding Outback Steakhouse, BJ’s Noodles, Tony Roma’s, and many more will be added onto the site.

You can also access the HealthyDiningFinder.com information on any Smart Phone; and download an iPhone app with the information. The app is available for FREE on the iPhone app store under the name yumPower.

It’s always important to treat yourself, so now you can do it without hurting your healthy lifestyle with HealthyDiningFinder.com.

I love me some free music, which you all might remember from my weekly Turn it Up Tuesdays I use to share with you. Even though that weekly post is no longer happening, it doesn’t mean I won’t share free music when I find it!

Check out the freebies from All You right here.

I received the free music email, because I’m signed up with All You. I get a free sample sent to me every day, this happened to be a good one to share. It’s a collection of songs from the show The Biggest Loser. So it’s a great mix of songs to work out to. Enjoy everyone!

PS-If you don’t workout, the songs are still good to listen to. So check them out anyway!

Oh boy, oh boy. Everywhere you turn these days, someone I know is heading to a blog conference. We’ve got so many, it can boggle your mind. It completely blows me away looking at these lists that go on for days!!!! When you are fairly new to the blogging community, you’re now always sure which one to attend. Which was the case FOR ME!

In 2010, I was itching to attend a blog conference and BlogHer was coming to New York. However, I couldn’t get the funds together and no sponsors to help offset the costs, so I missed it. It was the event I had learned was “THE BLOGGING EVENT” to attend. So I waited to hear where the 2011 was going to be held, hoping it would be someplace close. NO LUCK. It was in San Diego. If you know me, you know this girl doesn’t FLY. And I won’t get into an airplane, either.

Once again, I sat, waiting to hear where it would be in 2012. I was DETERMINED to go this year and I got lucky, it’s back in good old NYC. I was so excited, I bought my conference passes in August of 2011 for the August of 2012 event.

Why did I want BlogHer to be the first one I attended? Because it truly is THE EVENT to be at when you’re a woman and a blogger and also a MOM. Plus, it was back in NYC. How could I NOT go? I even got an EARLY BIRD pricing and a COUPON for 20% off the conference ticket. SCORE. If you can’t do it FRUGAL, why bother? I then quickly found roommates to share the hotel room with me, which helps with expenses. Currently, we have joined forces and are offering ourselves up to Sponsors. Who could say no to us? We’re all FABULOUS, right?

Now, we’re all set. Ready to rumble. We will snag ourselves a Sponsor. One of our “offerings” to sponsors is the option to put their logo on the backs of our business cards. PRETTY DARN COOL, right? We’re top notch here at November Sunflower! Of course, with this being offered, we will to order special cards. We all know how much I love Tiny Prints, right? BIG SURPRISE it would be the first place I’d go to get the cards made up. I’m just waiting for that sponsor to come through…….any minute now, they’ll throw money at me and my gals!

Until then, I’ll be figuring out which one of the designs I like the best. It’s not going to be easy. The selection is to die for. Not cost effective to get one of each design…..so I have to choose just one and that is KILLING ME.

I may need some help on this one…..can you check out the selection and give me some feedback? That would be awesome!

*Writing this post will mean that I will receive 50 free business cards to help offset the expense of getting brand new business cards.
