Rowdy is 11 months now. He will have his first birthday soon. He has more energy than any dog we have ever had. He literally never gets tired of moving.

He hates to go to sleep and wakes up the minute he smells food, typical beagle. He can get so cranky like a toddler and when he starts acting up, you know he’s extremely tired and will just crash anywhere very soon.

We still can’t put rugs out or he chews them. He also has a thing about chewing tennis shoes too. So if not wearing tennis shoes, we make sure they are in the closet.

He is too smart. Knows all the commands: sit, stay, go to your place, shake my hand, wait, come, etc..

He loves everyone! Never meets a stranger! He makes sure everyone he sees greets him and can be quite vocal, or invade your personal space, if you don’t! He’s very social and dominate. He’s the one chasing the other dogs when they play.

I’m pretty darn introverted. I’ve done ok with this pandemic, but he hasn’t been a good pandemic puppy. I see puppy daycare in his future.

Did you know this is not my puppy? Hes actually my son Nicks, but he left him with me while he reported to back to Minor League Baseball season. Can you can tell Rowdy has me wrapped around his finger now? Nick good luck taking him back.

My favorite picture ever of my favorite pitcher ca

My favorite picture ever of my favorite pitcher came up on my memories. I loved how his cap was always worn out. This was at College World Series Super Regionals.

College ball was so much fun! Now he’s in Ohio refining his skills for this season. They are also offering vaccines to the players, in Cleveland today, for those who want to get out of the bubble they keep MLB and Minor league players in.

Hope to see some of his games in a couple of months! Has your season started yet? What level is your player, I’d love to know and cheer your team on this Spring too!

I am on my way to my 2nd vaccine. Pfizer Number 2, I’m coming for you. I’m not going to lie, I have been a little nervous about the second one. I did great with 1st one.

So sweet of my hubby to take me. I used to be allergic to a lot of things, took a prescription nasal spray daily and I even had an Epipen I had to take everywhere I went. I used to take antibiotics, at least 3 times a year, for sinus infections.

But since drinking my superfoods shake everyday, I’m off all allergy medicines. It’s been 5.5 years now, and I don’t even have an Epipen anymore. Amazing what good dense nutrient superfood nutrition can do for our bodies.

Have you had your vaccine yet or will you? No judgement whichever way you feel about vaccines. If you’ve had them, which one and how did you do with them?

PS DM me if you’d like more info on my superfoods shake, great for weight loss too!

Working out and not getting results? I used to be

Working out and not getting results? I used to be a gym rat and worked out 60-90 minutes, 5 to 6 times a week. Heck I was a personal trainer and was eating clean you know the lots of protein diet.

What happened between these 2 pictures? I figured out my nutrition and I’m down about 5 more lbs since the last picture on the right.

I stopped overtraining, upped the plants in my diet and got the processed crap out. Nutrition is about 75 percent of the battle.

How did I do it? I had a plan to eat for my health and strength. I stopped counting calories, points and leaving off whole food groups. I no longer measure my foods and stopped classifying foods as a cheat. Now I have treats. No food is off limits and I’ve found food freedom. I listen to my body!

Would you like food freedom too? I’d love to share what I do with you! Join my next Intuitive Eating group in April! You will want to eat this way for life!

It’s been a dark time for our country since the pandemic started and all the social issues and civil unrest. Some people fear for what’s in store for us in the future.

We should not fear the darkness! We should look for the light and become like the light. Gods light will always outshine the darkness!

Just as Jesus rose from the grace on Easter, he can use his angel armies to crush evil, doom and darkness. We have Gods angel armies fighting on our side! Whom shall we fear? He’s not finished yet! Let us remember that this Easter Sunday.

God controls everything, not men and certainly not politicians. They are just distractions, keep your eyes on the light! Look for it daily!

Looking for a dessert that quick and easy enough to make for breakfast? Look no further!

These are not only #vegan and #glutenfree, but they’re also high in fiber and will satisfy your sweet tooth in a really healthful way.

From 3 years ago: That's was my boy practicing in

From 3 years ago:

That's was my boy practicing in Abilene, Texas. The Sam Houston State Bearkats Baseball team were playing 3 games in Abilene that weekend!

My boys was getting bigger, or maybe it was all that weight training or it may be all that eating out, when you live in a dorm and travel a lot to play teams in your conference.

I hated not being there to see him, but I had a teaching job to take care of. I remember wishing I could have been there and hoping they don't run into too inclement weather, as they travel back home.

I also remember thinking this:
Maybe next year, I'll be able to have more freedom and travel to his games anytime I'd like to.

You know what I had that vision and in my subconscious. The following year I was able to leave my teaching job and I was there watching almost all his college games, even out of state games. I finally had the time freedom to be able to be there for the once in a lifetime things.

Well that was 3 years ago! I’m happy to say I left my teaching job and that I will be able to be at his games in Ohio, if Covid cooperates. This coaching gig made it possible for me to travel all over watching my boy pursuing his dream of getting to the majors.

He just left Spring Training and is on his way to Ohio for a month, until ball season officially starts. I couldn’t be there with my boys when they were younger, these sort of opportunities didn’t exist- but it’s never too late to be there more for your family.

This is a business, you do have to learn it and work it consistently, but you decide what days/hours and how many hours. The more you work it, the faster it grows.

Do you dream of time freedom to be with your kids? Or want the ability to work from anywhere? Do you love helping people? Would you like to get paid to get healthier? Could you use accountability?

If this speaks to you at all and you are a go-getter, let’s chat? Complete the Campsite link in my bio - Join my team! All training is provided. You have a team supporting you along the way!

Are antacids and acid blockers your best friend?

Are antacids and acid blockers your best friend?

Excess stomach acid is blamed for the cause of acid reflux, but in about 90% of cases, the actual cause of acid reflux is low stomach acid. So this means that what you are taking may be providing temporary relief to harm your health long term.

Our stomach acid has responsible for breaking apart proteins into usable building blocks for the body. It also breaks down vitamins and minerals in order for them to be absorbed. Some of these vitamins and minerals include vitamin B12, folic acid, zinc, calcium and iron. Then it heads to the small intestines to be absorbed.

If stomach acid decreases, whether that be due to poor diet, age or medication use, it will make the stomach less acidic. When it’s not acidic enough, the LES is not told to close correctly and remains partially open. This allows acid to go back up into the esophagus, causing reflux symptoms.

Antacids are a $7 billion a year industry.🙈

Believe it or not, low stomach acid can lead to allergies/asthma, #skin issues, rheumatoid arthritis, insomnia, osteoporosis, G.I. infections and depression. It can also cause malabsorption of vitamins and minerals, and proteins and can lead to leg cramps, cracking/peeling/chipping fingernails, or hair loss.

Here are a few natural remedies for heartburn:
1- LES is responsible for keeping acid inside the stomach, and certain foods seem to weaken that muscle. These foods are higher fat: dairy, processed meats, fried foods, chocolate (oh no), caffeine, mints, sugar, alcohol, and onions.
2- Some natural remedies that can help restore your stomach acid and hopefully provide relief are using digestive bitters before a meal to stimulate acid production, which will rebalance the acidity in the stomach. Taking ACV or lemon juice in water can also help stimulate the acid production needed for digestion.
3 - Celery Juice: 16 ounces or more on an empty stomach. Wait 25 mins after, before eating or drinking anything.

Aspirin and NSAIDs (ibuprofen) can irritate the esophagus as well. Careful with them.

Consult with your doctor about possibly pulling your antacids and acid blockers.
