Chia seeds are really good for you...

Our kids loved watering their clay Chia pets and watching their bodies grow green moss looking fur...
Well who knew that those very same seeds are really good for us to eat !
High in iron, fiber, and many vitamins..
Add 2 TBsp to a smoothie in the morning and it could even help with weight loss :)
Gotta love that

New Years Resolutions

Its February and New Year has come and gone. Are your resolutions still in tact? have you made any?
Its a good idea to write them down as that way you are accountable.  
Health should be one of your top priorities this year - yes we are all struggling financially (some more than others..) but your health is really the one thing that determines your quality of life right??
I meet more and more people who have someone or knows someone who is suffering from Cancer or other crazy diseases, and all the money in the world cant seem to take that pain away !!
SO - lets put fitness first.  Pilates is a great all-body- workout that will change your body in 3 months if you come once a week and even quicker if you come more than that...
TRY IT - you may like it... Summer is 2 months away !!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR :)
