Feeling Great after Rebounding!!

I am feeling so great today after spending only 15 minutes on my new rebounder.  WOW!  I have been rebounding steadily for about 2 weeks on my Cellerciser which you can purchase on www.cellercise.com.  This rebounder is one of the best out there.  If you are traveling, you can fold it up and take it with you!  I found mine on www.ebay.com for around $200 dollars brand new.  We just recently took ours with us on an overnight trip and it is SO easy to pack and unpack.  My body has never felt so ALIVE as it does now with rebounding and a plant based diet in combination.  My exercise routine consists of one minute of health bouncing, where I keep my feet on the mat and just lightly bounce, which is a sort of healthy massage for all of the internal organs in the body.  When you exercise on a rebounder, you are exercising your cells!  No other exercise puts G-Forces on your individual cells and causes them to come alive!  It is incredible!!!

After health bouncing, I jog in place for 9 minutes and increase the height of my knees gradually throughout the time I am jogging.  After this, I do kicks with my legs for another minute before I incorporate some 3 pound weights to condition my upper body for about 5 minutes.  Weight training has never been so much fun as it is when I am bouncing up and down on my rebounder!  I think the benefits far outweigh any other weight training program.  My 3 pound weights feel like 20 pounds with all the G-forces on my arms when I bounce and lift at the same time.  I truly thank GOD for this incredible type of exercise, which benefits every cell that He has blessed me with.  What an incredible blessing it is to be rejuvenated from the inside out!

I end my workout with another minute of health bounce to cool down.  I am sitting here after doing this workout and I feel INCREDIBLE!  Exercise is so important for your health.  It really needs to be a priority for each of us.  We make priorities for other things, why don't you try to make rebounding a priority in your exercise routine?  I am excited to see my results after doing this continually.  I will keep you posted.  I have never had more fun working out than I do now!  I am already looking forward to my workout tomorrow!

Traveling and Staying Healthy on a Vegan Diet

There are many healthy ways to order your foods if you find yourself in an airport and not knowing what you can eat safely on a vegan diet.  I recommend many Mexican restaurants because they seem to have black beans and rice along with salads sometimes with lemon and lime slices and guacamole, which is a good alternative if you are trying to stay vegan while traveling.  Another way of keeping healthy on your journey is to plan ahead and make sure you have lots of fruits and vegetables handy.  We like to pack little ziploc bags filled with grapes or grape tomatoes to snack on when we are on road trips.  However, when you are flying, it is not always easy with all of the regulations to have these same snacks.  I recommend staying hydrated and avoiding the processed and packaged foods as much as possible.

Always ask for water every time they offer drinks on your flight.  This will help you to stay hydrated and avoid some of the cravings for candies and other temptations.  I am a travel agent for international adopting families and missionaries, so I am very accustomed to ordering meals for my customers.  It is fairly easy to stay vegan with all of the options out there.  Most airlines will even allow you to choose a vegan meal if you order at least 24 hours prior to departure.  They will need time to prepare your food for you, so make sure you don't wait too long to place your order online.  If in doubt, make sure you have some handy and super yummy Survivor Bars from Hallelujah Acres in times like these!  There are even some handy little mixing bottles on their website for traveling with your barley max, so that you can continue to have some green juices during your trip!  Please feel free to shop away at www.hacres.com and find those handy treats that will make your vegan traveling a breeze!

OH, and if you ever need help with your international airfare, please visit our website for a free quote!  www.cheapmissionstrips.com.  I will personally serve you and even help you pick your vegan meal when that time comes!!

Have a safe and healthy journey!

A Vegan Thanksgiving!!

Do you know that Thanksgiving can be just as special without the turkey and gravy?  For some of us, these foods have become a thing of the past since adopting a plant based diet.  I am so thankful that I don't ever have to feel the turkey coma that I have felt for so many years in the past!  Since adopting this new lifestyle, we are going to be making some new holiday traditions for our family.  I have so many recipes to choose from after purchasing an Ebook from Hallelujah Acres at www.hacres.com.

I am finding some yummy vegan dishes like Raw Sweet Potato Hummus, Grandma's Spice Cake, Party Pinwheels, and even an Apple Raspberry Cobbler which sound AMAZING!  I can't wait to try some of these delicious alternatives to the standard American Thanksgiving which I have been accustomed to for so many years of my life.  I am really excited to be able to have this new book of recipes.  If you don't have a copy already, please visit the Hallelujah Acres website and get your downloaded Ebook which is over 60 pages of Hallelujah Holiday Recipes for you to enjoy!!!

God bless you on your journey to Health and Holiness this Thanksgiving!
