Nutrition
Here is a thinker for you! In making a lifestyle or wellness and fitness change, do you think about nutrition? Do you really care or not so much? I think in terms of lowering my sodium and refined sugar intake. I also think about fresh versus processed or pre-made foods. I also think about bad fats and taming my sweet tooth (one cookie versus a sleeve of cookies).
What Do You Do as far as Nutrition for You, Your Body, Mind, and Spirit? I try and get 8 to 12 servings of fruits and veggies a day. Plus drink my water throughout the day every day – stay hydrated! Please Share – Love to Hear What You Do!

I really try to find that balance and have a healthy relationship with food. Nutrition plays a role in your health, wellness and fitness! You really have to think from the inside out and that everything is connected; physically and mentally. It does not mean you have to feel deprived when instilling a healthier lifestyle!

Feed into living a healthier lifestyle by making healthier food choices as well as wellness and fitness choices! Do Not Feed Into the latest diet craze or level of starvation. Figure out what works best for you and your body! It is amazing how better functioning your body is in living healthier and making better choices for you and your body.

Since the kids left home, I rarely bake anymore. Score for less sugar in my diet.

Refined sugar is my downfall. I try to limit but easier said than done. Good nutrition is a biggie in overall health 🙂

I hear you on that Ingrid – cannot resist chocolate, so I make sure I go for the good dark chocolate instead!

I have been drinking more water recently, cutting down on juice. I am also trying to eat more fruit, though I am not sure I can get up to 12 servings per day (I think that’s great that you do!)! I also have a weakness for bread and cake!

Cookies aren’t nutritious? I’m glad that wine comes from grapes at least! 🙂

In my own crazy mind I would eat a sleeve of cookies a day – ha! Yes to the Grape Goodness too!

This is a great post! I too always have my water on hand and stay hydrated Throughout the day or else I don’t feel too good, and everything else gets affected by my lack of water. I also tried to get my veggie up for lunch and dinner and a good amount of protein. Having a rough outline of those things helps me stay more balanced through the Day instead of stressing about every little number! 🙂

Good nutrition definitely makes us feel better about ourselves. I definitely can feel a difference when I eat whole foods versus process food. Lovely photos by the way. 🙂

Interesting thoughts and something that have been in my thoughts recently. Eating healthy whole foods, cutting out processed foods and modelling this for my kids is what I try to do. I’m not fixated on cutting out specific things (ie sugar, salt, fat etc) as long as it’s all in moderation. My downfall is water, I never drink enough during the day, not because I’m drinking sugary drinks or something like that, just because I don’t drink a lot of anything.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I am sure you get water in other ways through what you eat on a daily basis. Here’s to moderation!
