Was not really going to walk into the city today but something just made me get up and go. I walked around and really tried to stay firm with myself and refrain from buying myself something I did not need.  There was a voice in my head...I hear this voice often lol that told me to just take a sneak peek into my favorite store... so i did. Lots of amazing deals for ending season. I walked about a mile in that store alone just looking , picking up, looking, carrying around, putting back down...walking back to get because i feel I might need it. I will address this problem in another challenge ... I finally came to a decision though and stood in the long line I tried to shrink with mind power.. I stood there ...looking around and saw out of the corner of my eye a profile i recognized...I turned to get a better look... There at the cash register was my long lost friend...that i lost touch with 12 years ago! I have been looking for him since I moved to Nürnberg. We hugged so tight and I knew instantly our friendship would be the same as it was when we first became friends. Happy day.

COCONUT BUTT

The coconut palm harvests matured coconuts that contain a kernel which edible oil is extracted from and for generations, this type of high quality vegetable oil has provided the primary source of fat in millions of peoples diets and also has medicinal qualities that can promote cellulite reduction. And it's safe to say that by using a dry shower brush to massage coconut oil into any of your trouble areas where cellulite accumulates for about 10 minutes daily encourages new skin growth and exfoliates your epidermis, while also stimulating blood and lymphatic flow which can dramatically improve the appearance of cellulite on your thighs, butt, stomach, lower back and even underarms.

Walk into the city today to pick up some oils.  The weather is quite pleasant for this time of year..fingers crossed it stays that way. I felt quite a bit of energy when i woke up this morning. Energy burst lasted till 1pm and then I layed down for a little. Its getting better and I feel good inside. 

CO-LO

Coconut oil is composed of a group of unique fat molecules known as medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). Although they are technically classified as saturated fats, this fat can actually protect you from getting a heart attack or suffering a stroke.

Good for stopping heartburn too!

Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are foosteps on the moon.

COCO LOCO

Fact

Coconuts are good fuel for the body, but did you know that it’s also a planet-friendly fuel for machinery? Biodiesel has been making the rounds as a fossil fuel alternative, and coconut trees happen to be one of the plants that can produce oilin workable quantities. Not only that, but coconuts can perform multiple roles: as a base substance, an additive, or a direct substitute for petroleum diesel.

3 kings is the last holiday before the year really gets into swing again.  Spent the day

at the documentation center at the old Nazi grounds. History is one of those subjects that can't and should not be ignored. It amazes me at what went on in the world at times. My thankful thought for the day is that I was able to know very special people from this  paticular time in history and got to see it from multiple views.  I felt a bit weak today while walking around the grounds but I think its because I did not have enough water before I left home. 

COCO CONTINUES....

Glued to the computer today exchanging info to the webmaster that is working on my site. Things 

are always more complicated then we think they are. I am happy that there are people like him that are web gurus. Super excited to see the progress! So not too much moving today but its ok because I also have no calories to burn :) I am going to incorporate into this mix of challenges a thankful heart and thought each day this year. I am thankful for internet today...because without it I would not be able to communicate across the oceans so easily and get stuff done.

WHATS IN YOUR MORNING CUP?

I am a fan of tea. Green, black, fruit, white...I like it. 

One of my favorites though is 

YERBA MATE

Benefits of drinking yerba mate

                                                 Rich in antioxidents                                                             (90%more than green tea)

                                      Enhances Your Ability to Focus

No jitters, No headaches, No nonsense

Enhances physical endurance 

Regular yerba mate consumption also helps keep lactic acid from building up in your muscles so you can decrease post workout soreness and cut your recovery time.

                                                     Aids digestion and helps control weight

                                                        Supports Cardiovascular Health

The antioxidants and amino acids present in yerba mate help fat and cholesterol move through your bloodstream so that they don't accumulate on artery walls.

Its just awesome!

Beautiful Days to You I Wish

Running around like a chicken with her head cut off through the masses

that crowd the streets of Nürnberg this time of year.

Christmas market is on its last leg and for many christmas begins

tomorrow.  I literally was pushing myself through at the checkouts ready to deck 

anyone that  came too close. The holiday hustle and bustle is not fun anymore.

Feeling quite good heading into this week. I am also starting to take this coconut challenge more seriously. I AM AMAZED at the myriad of benefits this oil has. I will continue using it for more anything I can.  

I have replaced all lotions and am only using oil ( that includes my face cream)

Coconut oil is the only product I will use for my hair

I started Oil Pullling ( more on that tomorrow)

I will take in 2 teaspoons of coconut oil a day.

I put a spoonful of the oil in my tea every morning

I am cooking with only..... you guessed it .. this oil.

I will write about a variety of other uses in the blogs to come through January.
