If you have been putting on a couple of unwanted pounds lately take a moment to stop and check your stress level. Is it higher than normal? Are you feeling anxious? Worried about something? Stress can cause you to put on weight, and also you will struggle to lose weight because it produces exceess blood sugars that turn into fat. Take some time to de stress and you will find the unwanted pounds will go away.

Hugging my recipes - spreading the love

Well I must say it sure seems like a long time coming my friends however I am proud to share with you all that my first "official" book is almost here. Fabulous, Fit & Fantastic Living - "Get to Your Natural State of Weight" will be here for the holidays.

After I finished the last edits of the book a tear ran down my cheek as I have poured out my heart with all the healthy eating ideas, habits, and lifestyle I have learned over the past few years. How I healed myself and said it was ok to be ME, my authentic self, the person I was created to be, not what a mentor, or an associate said I had to be. What a great feeling to be free and to be ME. This book encompasses my journey of getting to my "natural state of weight" and for the first time in my life, actually accepting it. I wrote this book with inspiration from all of you who have been with me on this amazing journey. Thank you to everyone for your love and support.

The book also has some of my personal favourite recipes and you can get them on video if you like by signing up for the newsleter at www.wendyladd.com

Please share with your friends our facebook page as well if they would like to be kept in the loop about the book launch, and new recipes. https://www.facebook.com/#!/fabulousfitandfantasticliving

Thank you to everyone!

Vegetable Squash Soup

This is a great soup to make year round

INGREDIENTS

Organic squash broth – can be purchased in health stores in cartons or
fresh counter- I usually use 2 cartons and it makes a great soup for
2 people for 3-4 days
Kale- 1 small bunch
Small baby organic potatoes - (1 bag)
Spinach - 1 bunch
Organic carrots - 6
Cabbage - 1/4
Red onions - 1 large
Broccoli - 4 flowerettes
Fresh garlic - as much as you like for taste
Ginger - as much as you like for taste
Sea Salt - as much as you like for taste
Fresh Ground Pepper - as much as you like for taste
Oregano - just a pinch
Parsley - just a pinch

DIRECTIONS

Make sure you have a large non stick pot
Open the carton of organic squash broth and add to the pot.
For each carton of organic squash broth you use stir in 1 full cup of
water. If you prefer more broth add more water.
Chop up all the ingredients on the list and add into the pot.
The great thing is if you like one or two ingredients more than
another you can add more if you wish. You to make the mix anything
you like.
You can make the soup thicker by adding more vegetables.
You can also add more of the spices as well if you wish.
Put everything into the pot, stirring occasionally and bring to a boil
Continue then to boil gently for 15 minutes.
Then simmer for about 30 minutes before serving.

You can get your ticket for next year at www.stilettosforthecure.com A definite must attend event.
