Mondays

I love Mondays... Mondays are great for beginnings. You can start anything on a Monday, or a Sunday, or the 1st of the month, 1st of the year, etc.

It's all about beginnings.

Today I signed up for this year's NaNoWriMo, started this blog, and am getting back on my favorite health routine: ACV shot, a salad for lunch, and working out for at least 30 minutes after work.

ACV shot: in the morning you mix 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar, 4-8 drops of extreme cayenne pepper extract, a dash of organic honey and then enough pomegranate juice to kill the taste of everything else. Drink that and you'll have energy, lose weight/waist, drink more water and just generally be healthier.

Bragg's is the best apple cider vinegar, it's organic and unprocessed and has the 'mother' in it which is cloudy gunk that settles at the bottom but is actually live enzymes that can balance your ph, help your digestion, help your body detox, clear up your skin, boost your metabolism, etc etc. It's practically miraculous.

The cayenne extract boosts your metabolism and gives you energy, but it's also an anti-inflammatory AND amazingly good for your heart. I read that one doctor who wrote a book on natural health remedies said that if he could get a patient in the MIDDLE of a heart attack to take some cayenne pepper in a glass of warm water, it would automatically stop the heart attack.

 Honey is just good... it's always good. It's a natural antibiotic and tastes wonderful.

I can honestly say I took this shot 1x a day and drank a good 8 glasses of water a day, and within 3 weeks I dropped an entire pant size AND had more energy to boost.  I did this for a few months and felt great, but then life got in the way and I missed one day, then another... the next thing you know, I'm drinking sodas and my new pant size is feeling a little tight.  So back to my ACV shot and lots of water! Starting today.
