Babywearing is in Danger! Please join the BCIA
Recent CPSC reports have led the public to believe that all baby carriers are unsafe. This is partly due to their misuse of the industry accepted term "sling" to describe the recalled Infantino product. It is also due to their advice that certain baby carriers not be used in the first few months. They are attacking some companies with safe products who have had the misfortune to have had a baby die in their product. This would be like recalling a mattress because someone died in their sleep. Okay, perhaps not exactly, but the cause of death would have been related to misuse of the product or other extenuating circumstances. Hotslings, a major manufacturer of safe baby carriers, has announced they are closing, in no small part to the public misconception of babywearing being unsafe. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Vendors, babywearing advocates, and supporters from around the world are scrambling to try to change this trend. An organization called the Baby Carrier Industry Alliance has formed and is actively seeking members at this time. Please, please join this organization and find out how you can help save the future of babywearing. Yes, the need is that dramatic.

Flat Belly
After writing about health and fitness for ages on various blogs, I've decided to start sharing some of the resources that have been most useful to me. I've been following a diet program (not dieting) for about a year now and have seen amazing results. See more of the incredible shrinking me here.I am not a fan of dieting nor calorie counting. I am loving this way of eating because it's mainly foods I would have eaten anyway (organic, raw, naturally raised, etc) but I've learned a lot about how important it is to avoid certain foods. I've also learned that my husband and I are different types and it's a simple matter to put some more of the carbs on his plate and a little more protein on mine.
Check it out and see my awful iPhone pictures. You can't blame me; who takes a lot of pictures when feeling not photo worthy? Please let me know what you think!

Your liver and fat loss
Here is some not very sexy information taken from Isabel de los Rios' presentation at Transformation Domination. I've already been following Isabel's program (The Diet Solution Program) for some time, but I did not understand some very basic information. To be honest, when she started talking about the liver, I started to prep my mind for the college empty hole place where you set your features to attentive and try to keep your eyes open. The truth is, I was not faking being attentive; this stuff is fascinating! And so helpful!
So, without consulting my notes, here is my understanding of what was said. Any errors are my own!
When you don't eat properly, which pretty much sums up the Standard American Diet (SAD), you take in lots of toxins. These would flow around your blood and pretty much kill you within a very short period so your liver cleans them out and tucks them away into fat cells to protect you. Nice. Only, then you not only have these jacked up fat cells (I actually don't know what "jacked up" but Isabel said it a lot and it sounds good), you've still got the toxins instead of having gotten rid of them as a waste product.
So you want to detox. We've all heard of that. Mostly, I think of intestinal cleansing. But maybe that's not all there is to it! Huh! Who knew? It's about clearing out those fat cells.
We're all afraid to eat fat; everyone has it stuck in their heads that they should avoid it or they will get fat. But we need fat in our diets and we will hold onto the stored toxic fat if we don't get clean fat coming in. Plus water.
So in a very over simplified view of detoxing, you need lots of water, plus healthy fats, plus clean foods, to clear out the toxic fat cells. It's really as simple as that!
This is totally from memory now, so again, forgive any errors as they are my own!
Water: in ounces, half your body weight in pounds, daily. Carry a water bottle! I recommend Kleen Kanteen stainless steel and reverse osmosis filtered water from home so you save money and the environment. I took a five gallon container with me to the conference because it was driving distance for us but when I fly, I just buy gallons at the super market and refill my water bottles from that.
Healthy fats:
Examples are raw nuts (not peanut or cashew, the former being highly allergenic and the latter being not a truly raw product as it requires heat to extract the nut from its shell), coconut oil, raw olive oil, raw butter (grassfed organic of course), and some other stuff I've forgotten. Get her program!
Clean foods:
Just quit wheat, dude. Trust me. Yes, that includes bread, cereal, pasta, cake, donuts, etc. You might even want to give up all grains and potatoes for a few weeks to kick start. And quit milk too. Yup. You can do without cereal for breakfast, I kid you not. In fact nothing but single ingredient foods. Why? Because you are going to want to keep a food log of every ingredient and it's too hard to type that stuff up. Okay, that's not why. I believe you'll know why once you read labels. If it comes in a box, it's probably not food.
Now go let your liver stop tucking away fat in your blood cells and go start clearing out the toxins you have been storing all your life!

Fitness, running a business, and mothering?
What do fitness and health, running a business, and striving to be the best mother possible have in common? In our culture, pretty much nothing. In my life, everything. These things are my life, my chiseled focus. Things upon which I dwell and strive to improve.
I have been floundering a bit for the last year and have finally started taking some action. I have noticed that when one becomes more effective in one area of life, the others follow. Because I had no energy, I have been working very, very hard on health and fitness and the culmination of a huge effort was going to the Transformation Domination weekend seminar this weekend. I have come away renewed, reinvigorated, inspired, and ready to start taking action in so many areas of my life. It was everything I had hoped it would be, tenfold. Seriously.
I expected to gain new knowledge about health and fitness. I did not expect to learn how to be a more effective parent and business owner, but this conference was so packed with amazing speakers, there was much coverage of these areas as well, even if not completely intentional on the part of the speakers! We each take away what we see and I can frame things in terms of my life even when the speaker is coming from a different frame of reference. Many are indeed parents, even some moms, so there was definitely some focus on balance and striving to be here for the most important "thing" in our lives.
I am just so overwhelmed right now but I am eager to start sharing so stay tuned as I find the time, while learning to make more effective forward progress in all aspects of importance in my life, to share from the book of notes I took! Yep, I exhausted an entire notebook and more than one pen. I am jazzed!
