Greedy Proof That a Consistent Fitness Regimen Gives You Swagger

This pic is from this past November. I actually wish I wasn’t holding that magazine in my hand (my sister made pose with it), because I have very few “oh my gawd, I love this pic of me!” pictures. And I do love this pic. Just pretend you don’t see the magazine.

So, uhh, how about we turn this into a fashion post? This is an example of how I usually dress on the weekends when I’m out and about. In this here pic, I’m wearing:

Sweater poncho from Macys. Black turtleneck, jeans and dangly earrings from JCPenny (can you tell I love that store?).

I used to dress messy on the weekends and not take any kinda pride in myself. I’d just throw on whatever. But the more I started to care about my health, the more I also began to care about my physical appearance and how I present myself. I am in no way fancy with my fashion and I don’t spend a lot of time with prim and prep. I’m not a diva and don’t have time for high maintenance (but a shout out to all the divas, yo!).

It’s just great to finally wear clothes that fit right and feel good — clothes that I can move in without being all squashed and uncomfortable because of extra weight. Feeling comfortable and confident in your clothes gives you automatic swagger. Fitness will do that for ya. Dedication to your fitness regimen is guaranteed to put you in an outfit that gives you swagger and makes you say, “Oh my gawsh, I love this pic of me!”

Stay dedicated to yourself. Keep working hard, increase your swagger ratio and capture that picture-perfect moment for yourself.

Have a GREAT weekend!

XOXO,

Josie

Greedy Proof That the FDA and Pharmacuetical Industry Are In Cahoots

This article from Mercola.com explains it well and in great detail, so make sure you read it! But here it is in a nutshell:

There’s a new FDA proposed regulation (it came out in July 2011) that would ban many low cost dietary supplements (like fish oil) that we’ve enjoyed access to for many years. If this ban is imposed, the only alternative might be for us to buy the prescription version of certain, popular supplements. I’ve already seen commercials for prescription fish oil pills (sooo unnecessary when I can get it over the counter). It’s obvious that the pharmaceutical industry’s bottom line is threatened by the rise in health conscious people like us who are staying out the doctor’s office more often and have reduced or completely eliminated prescriptions drugs from their daily regimen due to a healthy diet, exercise AND the intake of certain natural supplements that the FDA seeks to ban without a prescription.

I am sickened by the FDA’s pro-pharmaceutical stance. This is about money – not protecting our health. Watch this video from Dr. Mercola, preferably on an empty stomach:

You guys, what we’re doing is working – the way we care for our health DOES work and its caused certain cash-cow health industries to be threatened. They now have to come up with new schemes to continue their rise in profits. There is NO REASON why natural dietary supplements with a long term track record of aiding us in health and wellness should be regulated by the FDA under such extreme measures.

Sound off in the comments. Are you as pissed off about this as I am?

Note added: The Mercola site does sell supplements and such that may be impacted by the proposed regulation, however, this does NOT take away from the information he presents and the points made about the FDA. This ongoing FDA issue is much bigger than Mercola. Further, he is NOT the only one putting the spotlight on FDA abuses.
