Naturopath, take 2...

...so if you read the last post I talked about my visit to the Naturopath. I didn't mention to all of you that he recommended I start "tea baggin'" bahahaha...it was hilarious! I drink wayyyyyy wayyy wayyyyyyyy too much coffee. There are days that go by that all I've had to drink was coffee, I know, bad stuff. Anyways he wants me to cut back - no surprise, but also wants me to drink more of something else. He knows I like a warm beverages so Tea without caffeine would do the trick. Well here's the problem, I hate tea. He sent me off on a mission to David's Teas in Hfx to find a tea that doesn't taste like tea...so I did! I found a tea called Forever Nuts that tastes nothing like tea. Little did I know, the tea's there come in loose format so you need a disposable bag or a metal "tea bagger" lol...I got the metal thingy....and now can be found "tea Baggin'" allll over the place!

Hubby thought it was great that the Naturopath prescribed "tea baggin'" till he realized it had nothing to do with him ;)

HELLLOOOOOO!!!....

...so I'm back! I didn't realize so many people read my comments, rants, jokes, etc. and definitely wouldn't want to let any of you down! I find myself running around like a crazy person between work, kids, hubby and all the extra's I do so sometimes I feel like blogging should be last on the list. Little did I know, it's kinda like my very own therapy. Damn it...Oprah was right after all these years with her touchy-feely weirdo talk. Apparently she calls it "Journaling", I call it blogging.

You'd be totally suprised to hear that I went to see Naturopathic Doctor. I know, I hear the gasps...can you imagine what my granola friend had to say when she heard that?!? LOL! I did, yup, took the plunge on the dark side...or whole-grain side so to speak ;)

I met Dr. Connelly at a work seminar and was extremely impressed with his outlook on Natural Medicine. He believes in traditional medicine - YAY! and doesn't believe that the only way to live is via natural medicines, herbs, food and creams - Another YAY! He is around my age and is super current on the science behind natural medicine. Everything he says is based on actual facts not just hold this branch, roll 5 times in a hay field, eat these 15 supplements, cut out all food you like to eat, and drink a well of water to cure your whatever. He believes that if you have HEart Disease, you need meds. If you are at risk for Heart Disease, you need to change things in order to help prevent before the meds. Makes sense, doesn't it?

The appointment was 2 hrs long and asked every question known to mankind...even what my poop looks like. Oh dear, I rushed through those...turned red (which never happens)...then asked him what his poop looked like! hahaha, couldn't help it...what on earth is it supposed to look like? You tell me and i'll tell you if I fit that list lol.

I also posted a conversation we had on my facebook this morning that went like so:

Naturopath: "So when you gain weight, do you gain it on your hips, thighs, butt and breast area?"
Lise: "hahaha, look up Dr! Am I not a walking, breathing and talking definition of what you just said lol?"
Naturopath (now laughing): "well sometimes people still have weight gain in other areas first."
Lise: "Ohhh that's right, I forgot...I have a real problem with my fat feet ;)"
Lise and Naturopath: LAUGHING HYSTERICALLY!

We laughed a lot during this appointment but it was very informative. I might be diggin' this new outlook on health. Now, would I go running to every Naturopath - NOPE, absolutely not. I think many are quacks, just like in any profession. It's about finding someone that you click with - I think we clicked :)

I'll keep you posted.

wow...

...so it's been a busy month! I know i've been away a while, but haven't gone too far. I was busy party planning! I had a big 30th Birthday Bash with my cousin 40-year old cougar. What a night! There were between 250 and 300 people at the party and it was one of the best nights ever. We danced all night and just had a great time! I thank all those who came...thanks for making our night so much fun!

Aside from that I helped plan Alexa's CD Release Party. That was also very successful and we just couldn't be happier. Her CD is out now so get your copy!! It's called "Edge of Gone" and check out her facebook page for a list of locations: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Alexa-dEntremont/154353834623657

In other news, a friend of mine sent me this article and I couldn't help but laugh. Some people are just dumb....no other word that I can use...just dumb. You'll see what I mean lol :

Survivor...

...so I've been watching Survivor since the beginning. Over the last few seasons, I've noticed a trend. It's the trend of the Blue Safari Shirt! The host, Jeff Probst, is constantly wearing the same shirt...every show, every event, everything. Take note of the blue shirt...you'd think they could afford a variety of colors, styles, etc.

Halloween treats...

...so is there a need to have a holiday devoted to Candy Consumption? Those little chocolate bars are the death of me. We all....ADMIT IT!!!....take one, then just cause it's little we take the second and that sometimes leads to the third, etc...

Not only that, I feel the need to eat them quickly. LIke, shove 3 in one after the other as if it makes any difference on the calorie count! Like, what the heck? Yup, take one then unwrap the other two as quick as I can and inhale them. I dont know if I do this so nobody seems me...or i'm trying to trick my body into thinking I only ate one cause I only opened my mouth once...I don't know. It's kinda ridiculous!

I also ate a mini bag of cheesies. I actually justified it to myself by telling Hubby that there was only 100 Calories in the whole bag! HAHAHA Yup, and actually that's no lie...the thing I left out was the fact that there was 9 grams of fat in that same 100 Calories...oops!!

Sadly, my thighs know the truth...

ALEXA CD RELEASE...

Hope to see you all there! We have a great band and you'll get to hear every track on the album - LIVE!!
