Dr. Mom Online — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 12:30:49 +0000

I know that I am blessed to be able to move and exercise and work out. Let me start with that! I am blessed to only have a 2 or 3 (OK, maybe 4!) injuries that I need to work around. I fully acknowledge that it could be so much worse. It’s why I choose [...]

A Healthy, Nutritious, Active Day for the Kids ~ Not “Hard”, Just Intentional!

Dr. Mom Online — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 12:10:36 +0000

Last night was one of those nights that made me feel good about my performance level as a mom! (I’ll take it whenever I can get it!) The kids had a nice variety of health-promoting foods and activities throughout the day: They started with a nice, healthy breakfast of fresh fruit and eggs with 1/4 sprouted bagel. [...]

Parenting “Lessons” ~ Making Good Choices Even When Mom Can’t See You

Dr. Mom Online — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 11:54:49 +0000

Just a funny little story to share… Early last fall, I made up one of my MANY little ’stories’ that I tell my children. Most of the time, they know I’m completely blowing smoke! (They’ve come to predict my sense of humor… and every once in awhile, they even appreciate it! Not often though!) As I recall, [...]

Choices, Dreams, Freedom and Success!

Today, I’m sharing a post from a Guest ~ Barbara Hofmeister… I met Barbara at a “Personal Success” seminar a year and a half ago. I was immediately touched by her genuine joy and zest for life! She has a way of making others smile and finding the light within themselves. What a great lady! Today, Barbara [...]

Dr. Mom Online — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 12:15:48 +0000

Sorry for the delay in posting these work outs this week! My schedule has changed again and I’ve yet to find my “groove” for posting! Anyhow, here’s the exercise log for the past week. Monday: Went for a quick, high-intensity bike ride. I did uphill ’sprints’ on every hill. Total time: 30 minutes Tuesday: Fat burning work out day! I did [...]

Have Faith in the Powerful Immune System of Kids

Dr. Mom Online — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 14:18:52 +0000

My kids amaze me on many levels. They’re smart, funny, silly, adventurous, cuddly, creative, generous, thoughtful, faithful, loyal, athletic, wild and strong. They’re also healthy little people. They’ve had less time and less opportunity to be exposed to toxicity – they *should* be healthy, darnit! Last night and this morning, our daughter amazed me again with her [...]

Better Nutrition Includes Healthier Snacks

Dr. Mom Online — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 12:21:17 +0000

Snacks can be a dangerous thing. That is, if we forget or overlook the real purpose of food in the first place. When we remember, snacks can be a powerful ‘tool’ for maximizing your health and performance. Food is a source of FUEL. It provides energy and the raw materials for every function our bodies and [...]

HealthIER, Not Harder ~ Quick, Easy & Healthy Salad Dressing Recipe

Dr. Mom Online — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 11:30:34 +0000

Just thought I’d share… because this was a hit with the kids! The other night we made a big salad for dinner: grilled organic free-range chicken with lots of greens and various veggies and ’stuff’. I don’t really use store-bought dressing much at all – conventional brands are typically full of sneaky toxins in the form of [...]

Motion is Life ~ Cardio and Resistance Training Work Out Log

Dr. Mom Online — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 18:59:37 +0000

Here are the most recent work outs since the last “Motion is Life” post. Wednesday: I headed out for a sprinting work out early in the morning before the thermometer hit the roof! This wasn’t my best decision. The night before, I had felt pretty run down and was starting to feel a sore throat coming on. [...]

Am I “Sick”? Or Am I Just Expressing Health?

Dr. Mom Online — Fri, 09 Jul 2010 18:23:13 +0000

For the past couple of days, I’ve been feeling like a mack truck surely must have hit me! I’m experiencing that lovely sensation of my cranium splitting apart due to pressure from deep within the recesses of my sinuses… and quite possibly my brain as well! Add to that the stuffiness, the off & on fever, [...]

Motion is Life ~ Working Out In Heat & Holidays!

Dr. Mom Online — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 11:31:37 +0000

Since my last work out log entry, we’ve had a full few days of holiday celebrations, parties, visitors and a good ‘ol summer time heat wave! Not exactly the recipe for success when it comes to MY ability to stay perfectly on track with healthy choices! (It’s that “human” thing again!) Actually, I didn’t do too [...]

Motion is Life ~ Fat-Burning Work Out Fun!

Dr. Mom Online — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 11:06:28 +0000

Remember the last time I posted work outs? I had mentioned that I might get a chance to head to the track later that day? Well I did. It was great! Our kids are in a track & field program this summer that meets at the high school track for an hour twice per week. [...]

Motion is Life ~ Cardio and Resistance Training Work Out Log

Dr. Mom Online — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 11:49:24 +0000

More work outs… more health… more fun! Yesterday I decided to do a bike ride for my “cardio” exercise rather than run. The low back issues are still irking me, so I wanted to mix things up. I rode for right around an hour with several hill sprints mixed in for some high intensity fat burning! [...]

Quick, Easy and Healthy Meals ~ Southwest Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Dr. Mom Online — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 11:34:20 +0000

Last night’s dinner was almost a bust. Somehow, just being away at my dad’s for a couple days threw things off with my awareness of what food I actually had in the house! I thought I had all the fixins’ to make a certain Asian-style chicken lettuce wrap with peanut sauce recipe. Nope. I had less [...]

Health & Nutrition News You MUST Know ~ From The Weston A. Price Foundation

Dr. Mom Online — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 11:10:42 +0000

This was emailed to me last week. It’s TOO important not to share. USDA has issued draft Dietary Guidelines for 2010. Rather than correct its anti-saturated fat and anti-cholesterol position, which has led to an epidemic of disease in this country, the new Guidelines are worse than ever, with more stringent restriction of saturated fat (7 percent [...]

Motion is Life ~ Quick, Fun, Fat-Burning Work Outs!

Dr. Mom Online — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 10:34:46 +0000

I’ve been doing some quick, powerful, and fun fat burning work outs lately. I think that last “long” work out I posted just turned me off so much that I needed a change! Although I don’t have the set up at home to fully pull it off, I’ve been getting some inspiration from those good [...]

Healthy Nutritional Choices for Healthy Kids & Families ~ The Wonderful Egg!

Dr. Mom Online — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 11:22:42 +0000

We go through a lot of eggs in this household! In fact, I’m wondering how much room hens really need to roam… because that might be on my list of things to do one of these days: raise free-range hens for their eggs! In all my spare time. It seems like it wasn’t all that long ago [...]
