For the past year I have been starting my day with lemon water.
As this infographic shows, lemon water is great at helping to flush the toxins!

You don’t have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
Collagen Boost
It’s a happy day for me.After my weight loss, my skin looked all “wrinkly” especially on my upper arms and legs.
You know, the skin right above your knees? Well, today, I noticed that the skin on my upper legs is smoother and tighter!
Could it be? Could it be the Collagen Boost making the difference in a month? It’s amazing! It’s working!
I haven’t changed anything else! I’m still following R3, exercising almost daily, drinking lots of water, taking Peak Performance Total Longevity! My upper arms are looking better too.
I know it’s the Collagen Boost! I’m a believer!
When people ask me why I do what I do…
The answer is simple…I do what I do because I’ve been able to design a life that allows me to earn an income without ever having to sacrifice time with my family or friends.
How blessed that I was able to care for and spend time with my mom and to be able to break away early any day to enjoy dinner with my husband her.
I am able to meet my friends for some much needed fun in the middle of the day , pick up my neighbors kids at school in a crunch and go to the beach—any time, any day of the week—and not have to deal with the weekend crowds 
.
I love the life I’m building and wouldn’t have it any other way. I highly recommend it!
Did you know that as we age, we need to increase the amount of protein we consume every day?
In fact, once you reach your 60s, you might want to begin upping the amount of protein you consume per day in an effort to maintain muscle mass and strength, bone health and other essential physiological functions.
An increase in protein is necessary because older bodies process protein less efficiently, so even healthy adults in their 60s need more protein than when they were younger to help preserve muscle mass. By the time people reach age 65, they become at greater risk of sarcopenia which is the loss of muscle mass, strength and function.
Nutrition experts recommend 69 to 81 grams of protein for a 150-pound woman, and 81 to 98 grams for a 180-pound man.
I like to have a protein shake for lunch and fill my blender with berries, a banana, spinach and my fiber mix. It’s yummy and I get a big dose of protein AND fiber at the same time!
I just can’t stress it enough……and it’s actually one of the easier things we can do for our bodies.
- Start your day with a little bit of protein, like a hard boiled egg
- Strive for a minimum of 45 grams of protein/day for women, 55 grams for men
- As we age, we need to increase that minimum to closer to 60 grams for women and 70 grams for men.

The Best Dishwashing Liquid of 2023?
The New York Times promotes this liquid dishwashing liquids as the “Best in 2023” Well, that isn’t necessarily true.
Advertisement for these and National brands bank on the idea that consumers are dumb by promoting “green” products like Mrs. Meyrs and Seventh Generation as safe but, in reality, these detergents contain formaldehyde to help preserve the products in warehouses for a few years before being transported to the retailer and then it’s stored in the retailers’ warehouses until it’s time to stock the shelves.
Did you know? All of these products in the photo, are to be used with caution—as they contain possible skin irritants. Chemical products such as ethanol, glycol ethers, formaldehyde, ammonia and others are often found in these cleaners. Mixing these products with bleach can produce toxic fumes. Repeated exposure can cause asthma-like symptoms and harm the central nervous system.Plus, they have been known to cause swelling and tearing of the eye tissue. The emitted vapors can cause coughing, wheezing, labored breathing, and in severe cases, death.

Sometimes we use “I don’t have time” as our excuse, but it’s really about priorities. As the saying goes, “if we don’t make time for exercise, we’ll probably have to make time for illness.”
If you find yourself having trouble staying committed to exercise, then grab a buddy and go out for a walk. Starting with a walk, early in the morning, during your lunch break, or after dinner is a great place to start!
Here’s what I do:
- I swim or do water running nearly every day
- I work out on my Concept 2 Rower every morning
- I have elastic bands for a quick set of reps while watching TV
- I walk my dog twice a day, he’s not always thrilled, but it does us both good
What do YOU do for exercise? Post in the comments below.
