Garden pictures- lovable carrots & fresh salad


Our garden produced some interesting shaped carrots. No matter, we still enjoy their freshness. Lesson learned from these delightful orange veges; it doesn't matter what a person looks like on the outside, we all have the essence of beauty inside of us. If we could overlook the obvious flaws in each other, only then can we enjoy another person's sweet flavour.





These carrots were all chopped and bagged in ziploc bags and put in the freezer for the winter.






Tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, onions and apples.






Put them all together - and voila - fresh homegrown garden salad.






Just absolutely delicious. No, I didn't make this. My husband was at his finest once again. Welcome to Chef Lee's kitchen!

Changing Inside Out Now! Getting my body back - Day 19

Carrots in love.

This is the reason why you should love your vegetables because they love each other and plus it's healthy for your body just as love is healthy for you.

Just like Mama always says, "Eat your vegetables!" Now you know why.

Carrots, rich in Vitamin A, promote growth and repair of body tissue, healthy eyes, good night vision and a strong immune system, bringing about change from the inside out.

When we love what we're doing, we have fun doing it and it makes us want to continue engaging in that activity over and over again.

Music does something somewhat magical to us internally. It seems to cause our brain to send a positive message to the rest of our bodies. Adding music to our daily routine gives us that extra 'pep' in our step and turns on the fun mode.

Music reaches places in your soul where words may not touch.

Today, I've added some Beyoncé energy to my exercise routine. It was quite enjoyable. The kids had fun, too.

Fuelling words: Music is the melody of the soul.

Routine: Warm-ups, stretches, aerobics, toning and strength exercises, cool down.

Visualization - keeping focus on my goal; healthy, strong and my ideal body weight and shape.

Deep breathing - relaxes the muscles and sends oxygen to the muscles where exercising alone would not reach.

Changing Inside Out Now! Getting my body back - Day 18


What’s your nutritional value?

Every fruit provides different nutritional values and benefits.

Citrus fruits and strawberries are rich in Vitamin C, and help wounds heal, strengthen blood vessels, build connective tissue, healthy gums, skin, and promote strong teeth and bones.

Carrots are rich in Vitamin A and promote growth and repair of body tissue, healthy eyes, good night vision and a strong immune system.

Our differences and variations in talents provide a wide array of ‘nutritional’ values and benefits for us and others to sustain our well-being and well rounded life.

Teachers at varied levels and fields educate our society, bringing awareness to many different aspects of our world.

Specialized doctors study in depth specific parts of the human body. A brain surgeon’s ‘nutritional’ value is rich in the knowledge of all aspects of the brain and its wiring. His benefit to society provides resolution for brain injuries, abnormalities and dysfunctions.

A paediatrician’s ‘nutritional’ value is rich in the knowledge of children’s illnesses and is beneficial to all parents as a place to go when their children are ill.

Businesses, with unique ideas, provide us with a variety of services and products to choose from making us a very rounded society.

What’s your ‘nutritional’ value/contribution? It may be to inspire, to care for the sick, to be active in your community addressing its core needs, sing songs bringing joy to your listeners, or dance adding to the ‘nutritional’ needs of others in some way or another.

Whatever the ‘nutritional’ benefit, know that you can make a valuable contribution to the health and wellness of society.

Fuelling words: I focus on achieving my goal so I can be an example to my children.

Routine: Warm-ups, stretches, aerobics, toning and strength exercises, cool down.

Visualization - keeping focus on my goal; healthy, strong and my ideal body weight and shape.

Deep breathing - relaxes the muscles and sends oxygen to the muscles where exercising alone would not reach.
