Inspired in Washington D.C.

The hot people I work with on the steps of the Lincoln monument in Washington D.C.

The funny thing about starting a blog is that you have to be committed to write even when you might not be that inspired. My blog started off while I was still in nutrition school and I was pretty much inspired on a daily basis. My blog was going to be AWESOME! I was doing some pretty cool giveaways and my readership seemed to be growing, I was on my way to being a very successful and popular blogger. Somewhere along the way my business picked up, (which I really can’t complain about), I got pregnant (not an excuse), and my blog kind of fell to the side. My last few posts have been spaced way too far apart and even I can admit that my blackberry pics aren’t cutting it and kind of look a little bit like poop on a plate.

So here I am at the Shaklee global conference in Washington D.C. and I am feeling the need to write and share my experience, because I am SO INSPIRED. How refreshing to be able to work with such a wonderful group of people who all share a common goal of helping other people be healthy and succesful. How rare is it to love what you do, believe in what you do, and enjoy the people you work with?  I am going to recommit to this blog, because there is really no excuse to not be inspired on at least a weekly basis. I apologize in advance to my fellow bbm’ers, but I am also going to switch from a blackberry to an IPhone so that my pictures look less like poop and more like the beautiful moments that they are.

Do you get in your 5-9 servings of fruits and veggies a day?

There is nothing like attending an inspiring event where you learn a lot and take away a plan of action for yourself too. This past weekend I attended a seminar through Shaklee that was focused around women’s health and I came out wondering if I get the recommended 5 – 9 servings of fruits and vegetables in everyday. You might think that as a holistic nutrition counselor all I eat is Kale, but that is not exactly the case. Even  nutrition counselors need a kick in the butt once in a while. Leaving the event I decided that I was going to challenge myself to get something green in at every single meal from here on out. So far, so good! Breakfast seems to be the most difficult, but even on Sunday when I was craving something brunchy and not my usual green smoothie I made it work with a Kale omelette using one egg, Kale, red onion, eggplant and fresh mozzarella cheese. Greens are not only full of essential vitamins and minerals, but they are also full of fiber that will fill you up and make you less likely to eat junk.  Loading up on greens is a great way to stay healthy and also drops some lbs. Double Bonus! Do you get in your 6 – 9 servings of vegetables a  day?
