My Stay Happy, Feel Great Tricks

Here are a few things that make me feel good about myself, and make me happy.  I’d love to hear some of your Stay Happy, Feel Great Tricks!

My go-to healthy snack is…… yogurt, and it has to have less than 12 grams of sugar (which comes from skim milk) no fat, and at least 4 grams of protein.

When I work out I listen to … fast paced, upbeat music, sometimes it’s rock,  sometimes it’s pop… quite often it’s music I wouldn’t want anyone to know I listen to, but it still gets my heart pumping and keeps me going.

I love the website…. www.icanhascheezburger.com It makes me laugh … and who can resist those adorable kittens?

The TV show I can’t resist is……. United States of Tara which stars Toni Collette as a wife and mother, with a multiple personality disorder which makes for some hilarious and heartbreaking moments

My ultimate Stress buster is……. a hot bath with lots of bubbles, comfy pj’s,  and then a quiet place to read a good book

The one beauty step I never miss….. is moisturizer.  I put it on before bed, and then I use one with SPF for in the morning.  ( I don’t leave the house without at least some mascara either)

When it comes to food, my biggest weakness is…… mashed potatoes.  It’s my go to food when I am sad or depressed

When I want a fun night out I ……… enjoy a nice dinner and a few drinks with my husband and/or friends

My best healthy eating habit is….. I use whole wheat flour and splenda in all of my cooking/baking

My feelings on Birthdays are…… they should be celebrated to the fullest… no matter what your age

The most important lesson I learned growing up is……  to have compassion and empathy by putting myself in someone else’s shoes.

I always make time for…. a good book, my family, and my cat.  (not necessarily in that order)

My happy life motto is…. “You only live once, so take a few risks, and  enjoy every minute of it”
