I try to, we eat fairly healthy

The workout we recently got introduced to require us to work like this every day XD I guess you should try exercising every day :P

Ain't nobody got time for that lol!!! XD

just 30 min each day, will suffice! XD

I guess I will start trying XD

Wellness weekend sounds good to me. Could use something like that ^^ Shh don't tell anyone, I'm hiding under a pile of blankets to escape my bed and more chicken soup :D

I'm very fond of this recipe at the moment, helped a lot with my cough:

1 piece of ginger (around 2-3cm) 1 liter water 1/2 cinnamon stick 250ml milk honey

Peel and cut the ginger and let it simmer with the cinnamon stick for 20mins in the water. After that remove cinnamon and ginger, add the milk and let it boil up shortly. Add honey to your liking and that's it. =)

Since you asked, ...

Since I live in California, my favourite wellness thing is high-CBD cannabis edibles. They don't contain enough THC (the stuff that makes you high) to make you stoned. But the chemical, CBD, that IS in them, is good for people with chronic pain, depression, anxiety, and seizures. The only one of those that I don't have is seizures (thank G-d)! and eating a few high-CBD Satori chocolates every day is delicious and allows me to use very little toxic pain medications (NSAIDs and paracetamol/acetaminophen are not good for your kidneys or liver if you have to take them every day).

My other favourite thing is dancing, which is a good workout but doesn't feel so much like one.

My least favourite thing is dieting. I have celiac disease and I do not mind my gluten-free diet at all, but dieting for weight loss is incredibly un-fun. Plus whenever you talk about food and diets there's always someone who wants to convince you to go vegan, and if you have celiac disease and try to eat out, meat is often the safest thing on the menu. Plus celiacs cannot really do a high-carb vegan diet to lose weight, we pretty much have to go high-protein or bust.

People who get very evangelical about it always insist that you will lose weight if you're vegan. The fattest person I've ever known was actually a strict vegan, but she ate tons and tons of vegan junk food (also probably easier to get in California). Telling people like this about that is kinda fun, at least for the looks on their faces.

lool good luck!! XD

makes sense. Temporary diets to lose weight are really unhealthy, they end up with the likelihood of causing rebound weight gain too.

I do think it is possible to eat a healthy low fat gluten free diet, but very challenging to make it vegan. I have a gluten or wheat intolerance too, probably not celiac but I get sick for a week if I eat any wheat. I haven't really tested it with gluten from other sources so not sure.

Just speculating but maybe a gluten free vegan healthy diet would be doable if you had a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables, protein from beans, brown rice, quinoa, fats from avocado and nuts, starches from nutrent dense starchy vegetables like sweet potatoes and eggplant? I could handle that if I had to, but I like chicken, fish, cheese, and especially yogurt plus milk in my coffee !

It's soooo cold over here. I've been cooped up inside so long I had to go out and face the snow just for my sanity. I definitely could do with a pamper.

I really need to get back into working out but starting is so hard xD

I figured out where to go get your ingredients and meanwhile I am fixing some ginger tea since that is the only tea I have on hand.

Your ha is very pretty today :O

Yeah, I don't do low-fat high-carb. I don't feel well eating that way, and I don't feel well if I don't eat meat. :)

that is a great reason not to try it ! What food makes you feel good is very individual, isn't it?

On the other hand some foods are bad for anyone even if they feel good while eating, so no absolutes :)

What I meant was that a person who did want to eat a vegan diet who had Celiac disease could probably pull it off, but it would be a lot of effort. And honestly they might not get complete nutrition if they weren't extra careful.

I am not such a person, I have NO desire to give up meat, dairy or eggs. You aren't either it sounds like. But I guess they exist. Maybe we should feel sorry for them?

Right now it's raining in my area. So, to take care of myself, I set aside some time for a pedicure!

, ah yes! Thank you so much! did a wonderful job drawing Chell ^-^

Funny story, I bought a cat tree online and it was advertised as “double the size of our other cat trees!!!” Well... I don’t know how big their other cat trees are, but this one would barely be fit for a tiny kitten, let alone my two adult cats ^-^;;; It looks like it’s made for guinea pigs! Lesson learned, read the dimensions of the product before ordering! LOL

Ah, I always see such adds and wondering what they think is the size of a good cat, LOL ^-^

Chi is going to draw Lysandra, I saw a doodle of her already, very cute!

Just back from work, my friends, talking to you all tomorrow, I have to hop to bed soon....

Yes, too small:

Probably a dog, just because I don't have any dogs right now. I have two cats, but I miss having a dog around sometimes. Do you have any pets?

, ooh! Can’t wait to see your new art. Good night!

, omg hahaha! The cat looks so displeased
