Weigh-in & Weight Loss Frustration and Support, Ep17

Today I had my weigh-in and to be honest, I was soooo frustrated with my results!! I got the tape measure out as well to take my measurements– the scale won’t move, but again this week I’ve lost a few inches!!!! (check out ‘Weight Loss Progress Page on my blog– I’ve updated my weekly measurements and weigh-in). Despite the fact that the scale didn’t move much this week, I realized I need to gain perspective on the overall process– its now been a month and I have lost 9 pounds in total and 3 to 4 inches off my overall physique– that is fantastic!!!!

So today’s episode is about my weigh-in, my reaction and what I did to help me move forward and continue. The whole weight loss journey is full of ups and downs, but what is most important is to never give up.

Q&A on Probiotics, Coconut Water Kefir & Fermented Coconut Yogurt, Ep15

I just want to thank everyone for their comments and questions regarding yesterday’s episode on Probiotics, Coconut Water Kefir and Coconut Yogurt. There were a lot of great questions, so I decided to answer them in today’s episode. I also searched for a good source for Kefir Grains. There are different strains, some last a few weeks, while others last forever!!! Obviously, we want to go with the one that last forever!! Click here to get to the site that has good quality kefir grains. Also I just want to clarify that there are two different types of Kefir Grains– there is Dairy Kefir Grains and Water Kefir Grains– make sure to get the Water Kefir Grains!

I do hope you try this out, even just fermenting coconut water on its own without the kefir grains or probiotics– its super great for you!!!

Thanks again for your questions!!!!
