I'm 40-something years old, and for 40-something years breakfast has been a pain. Some of my earliest memories are getting ready for school with my mother insisting I eat a bowl of cereal. It just never interested me. Once high school started I was skipping breakfast and grabbing two apples on the run for lunch. All my life breakfast simply wasn't something I got interested in or thought about until I made this discovery...Someone introduced me to the most amazing concept for breakfast.
By now I was well entrenched in not taking time over the first meal of the day (and sometimes the second meal), so anything that captured my attention was going to have to be fast, no fuss and delicious to warrant any of my attention.Instead of cardboard cereal and bland milk, it's possible to start the day with power packed, nutritious, energizing and best of all, yummy smoothies. Smoothies have been around for ages, but I had never twigged they make a great start to the day. Imagine the delight of selecting from a range such as Chocolate Strawberry, Hazelnut Coffee, Peach Almond, Banana Bread & Apple Pie Surprise. Kid you not! You can make an endless variety to suit your own taste. Now this was interesting to me.Not only did I start regularly eating breakfast, my energy shot through the roof! This changed my whole perspective on being 40-something.
A period where I thought as a mother, wife, and corporate executive I was supposed to be tired all the time. Not true.Here is one of my favorite recipes. Strawberry Parfait3 tablespoons vanilla flavored soy/whey protein powder250g (6oz) strawberry flavoured fat free yoghurt1 cup strawberries4 ice cubesBlend in hand-held or benchtop blender. Pour into your favorite glassware and enjoy..

Help For Easter Chocoholics Available Says Clinical Hypnotherapist Linda Bright From Mind Over Matter
(ContentDesk) April 11, 2006 -- Overeating chocolate is a learned response, a habit or a coping mechanism that can be changed and a guilt-free Easter is possible even when surrounded by chocolate temptations according to Clinical Hypnotherapist, Linda Bright.Chocolate is an international symbol of luxury and self-indulgence and in Australia annual sales are in excess of $900 million in gourmet chocolate alone.Chocolate is an anti-depressant because it contains phenylethylamine or PEA which is also found in the brain. We release PEA in very tiny amounts when we are feeling elated and physically stimulated, said Ms Bright who is the founder and director of Mind Over Matter, a Perth-based hypnotherapy consulting practice.
For some of us chocolate is an enjoyable treat, an infrequent or irregular indulgence and Easter is a great pretext to spoil ourselves a little.But for others it is a source of guilt or regret or frustration because they find eating chocolate compulsive. For...
COULD A SLIM, HEALTHIER YOU, BE JUST A TICK AWAY ? ? ?
COULD A SLIM, HEALTHIER YOU, BE JUST A TICK AWAY ? ? ?
read on .........As your holiday approaches do you hear yourself saying "I really must lose some weight before I go on holiday", or during your holiday as you over indulge (and why not? After all, you are on holiday) do you hear yourself saying once again "I really must go on a diet after my holiday".Yes, we have all been there! We mean to diet before holidays, after holidays, before Christmas, after Christmas, and so on ... and isn't it funny how we are so full of good intentions at the time when we are so full after finishing off that box of chocolates we couldn't resist opening. It's always the same old story, we only mean to eat just one chocolate, our favourite, and then, as if by magic, the whole box is suddenly empty. And that is when we are filled with (not just chocolates) but the desire to embark on yet another slimming diet. Usually, of course, the resolution to slim disappears even faster than the chocolates...
