A Hankering For a Glass of H20??

We all have new years resolutions. In my eyes resolutions were meant to be broken. We all want to change something. I have something that I would like to change. My water consumption. I am a freak when it comes to water. I thirst. and then I thirst some more. What the hell is wrong with me.If I am thirsty than why don't I drink? I take this 10 minutes to help search for the answer. We as a societal whole do not drink enough water. Just plain H20. It is advised that we drink half our body weight fl oz in water. So if you weigh 100 lbs you should consume 50 oz of water.  I am going to tell you a little bit about dehydration.Partly to convince you,partly to reinforce it in myself.  Dehydration causes many ailments. Headaches,lethargy, constipation, bad breath,stomach and joint pain just to name a few. I so often hear people complain about these ailments. " I get migraines" Well, how much f'ing water do you drink? Answer  " none" or even better "I drink Coke or diet soda" Think about it. Our bodies were designed to run on water. if we don't drink enough it starts to break down. Its like an engine without oil. Would you replace your oil with diet coke? Then why do we do that to our bodies? Ok enough lecturing here I am guilty also.That is why I urge you and myself to drink more WATER! I start at this moment. I will fill my 8 oz glass and thank myself for doing it. Do it with me for a week. Even if you don't believe.  See and note if any changes occur and let me know. I want to hear! Cheers

The Magic of Yoga

Yesterday was a long day. Driving in the messy snow. Playing nurse to a sick child and just a bit of the winter blues. I received an email about an evening candlelight yoga class. I dragged myself there. I am so glad that I did.  A peaceful room with a lovely vibe. Lit with candles and accompanied by a musician playing songs on her guitar. The music was live you could feel the chords vibrating through your body. she had a raspy Mazzy Star "fade into you" kind of voice and it was beautiful. I worked and I worked hard. Stretched my muscles toned them and then rested them   Ahhh Savasana  or corpse pose. There is nothing like working hard and then being rewarded with peace of the mind and body. A soft scent of lavender, a release shoulder tension and a massage of the temples.  You just don't get better than that. I feel like a know a secret like it is a fountain of youth. I feel like I want to share it with everybody. It is that good! If you practice regularly you know what I'm talking about. If you do not as your friend I say try it out, give it a chance your mind body and maybe even your hubby will thank you.   NAMASTE.

Let me begin by talking about football

Well I really wanted to start my blog on a positive note. So I will have to say something positive before the negative.   Football is almost over!! I am seriously considering hosting a superbowl party to celebrate the end of Football season! So here it comes I had to get it off my chest. I HATE FOOTBALL! There is nothing about it that I like. The brutality of it, the uniforms, the unattractive men who play it ( which includes Tom Brady who now looks like a caveman.)  The betting, the Fantasy football and one last thing the women who pretend to like it. I know there are a few women who really do like it but as a whole women do not like football. They are just "faking it" so they can be with the guys.   I am not a "faker" never have been. If you want me to get excited about something Give me an episode of the Bachelor or an episode of True Blood. But even then, can you imagine not being able to go out with your friends,or spend time with your family because a show is on the way that men do when a game is on? Absolutely Ridiculous!!  And If I have a Superbowl party Everything will be pink and we will drink cosmos's with our pinky fingers held out. Screw Football!! Ahh I feel better now I can breathe! Peace Love and Happiness!!!

Intro To Elaina's world

Hello World!
Well, you may want to know why I am on here.  I have been a Facebook junkie for a few years now. There are some things you just cannot talk about on Facebook.  My beliefs on FOOD. Yes FOOD. Did you know it could be so taboo to talk about it? Politics, religion and anything else that I feel like rambling about. Part of this is to exercise my mommy brain. A little bit of creative writing 101. And if I offend you  "SORRY"  in my best British snob voice. But this is my blog so If you no likey read a blog written by somebody else!! lol
