Sprains, Strains and Boy Mom Life

The full effects of boy mom life. Back to school functions are a prime time for shenanigans. Especially when you haven’t seen your friends for a bit. And, well, someone is always going to get injured. It just seems to be inevitable. We were the lucky recipients this time around. It’s just the luck of the draw, as they say.

So here we are on the couch, foot elevated, wrapped and iced. Typical treatment. What isn’t typical, although in my opinion should be, is that under that wrap, I gently rubbed Young Living’s Copaiba Essential Oil over the bruising and inflammation.

Copaiba is amazing as a helpful aid in inflammation reduction and to help ward off stiffness.

Both major problems with a strained/sprained ankle.

In our experience, since it’s not too major a strain, the wrap will be off tomorrow and he’ll be back on the karate mat within 48 hours.

Copaiba is definitely a must for the first aid kit, and it’s a starter kit oil. So you’re guaranteed to get it if you have a kit.

I’ll be back soon!

Meet Sheri, an Intermittent Faster since 2015, her name may ring a bell or two if you've read any of my IF stories , as she is the person responsible for introducing myself and countless others to this amazing way of life. Today, Sheri is sharing her unique perspective on Intermittent Fasting as a former member and leader of a popular dieting program. Carly Everywhere I look I see people struggling with weight loss and unsure of what program to follow to lose weight. I see a lot of people convinced that they must count calories/macros/points to lose weight. When I tell them they can let that go and simply count time, they don’t trust me. People are terrified of letting go of calorie counting or points counting or otherwise trust that fat loss with IF is dif

I Ate The Damn Cake And Lost 21 Pounds

Today is a good day. No, a GREAT day. This morning, I stepped on the scale and was amazed and ecstatic to see that I am officially 21 POUNDS LIGHTER since beginning my Intermittent Fasting journey at the end of January 2018. See the difference? I've talked before about how I found IF and started my weight loss journey if you want to check it out. The day I started IF, I weighed in at 149.8 lbs, the heaviest I'd ever been in my life. Today, I am 128.8 lbs. I haven't been close to this for almost a decade. I never thought I'd get back to 130 lbs, much less BELOW it! And I did it without depriving myself, without sacrificing my favorite foods and without ever once feeling guilty about anything I ate. Sure, I probably could've reached this milestone sooner had I been a bit stricter with myself, but that kind of defeats the purpose of what IF is all about.
