Sponsored: Take 2… Tell 2 About World Stroke Day

World_Stroke_Day_Take_2_Tell_2

Thank you to Medtronic for sponsoring this post. Medtronic works hard to bring effective stroke treatments to patients who need it most, and I’m really glad to see they are also proactively trying to get the word out about this silent killer. In the next week, there’s a holiday coming up that’s a lot scarier than Halloween. Sunday October 29 is World Stroke Day, and the World Stroke Organization and Medtronic are encouraging everyone to take just two minutes to learn about the signs of a stroke and then tell two people about those signs, as part of their Take …

Health Scare, with No Answers

Happy_Face_After_11_Vials_Of_Blood

Those of you who follow me on Instagram know that the last few days have been pretty tumultuous for me. On my flight home on Thursday night, I had a weird cognitive issue where I lost my ability to read/write, and understand language. It started pretty extreme, where all of a sudden the words in the book I was reading made no sense whatsoever. Then it gradually lessened, to where if I stopped to think about each word separately and what it meant, and then tried putting the words together, I could slowly understand a sentence…. but that’s still pretty …

Why I Weigh Myself Every Day (Review: EatSmart Digital Scale)

EatSmart_Digital_Scale

This morning, I jumped on my scale after waking up (and doing my 10/20/30 and hitting the bathroom). I was pretty pumped to see that my weight is the lowest it’s been in seven years, and more than ten pounds from where I was two years ago. And the best part is, because I weigh myself every day, I know this isn’t some crazy anomaly. There is a common piece of advice in the weight loss world that you shouldn’t weigh yourself daily, the logic being that it will just stress you out to see the daily fluctuations. But in my …

April Goal Progress: Final Week 4 Check In

April_Week_4_Sleep

I cannot believe it’s May already. April went by entirely too quickly! And unfortunately, me trying to sleep more is not why April felt so short… because I’d say that I was only about half successful in focusing on my sleep. I already wrote about my insomnia last Tuesday night, when I literally got less than two hours of sleep. Not good! I slept well Wednesday and Thursday nights, but Friday I picked up a stomach bug from my nephews (or maybe from someone else in my family, since we all seemed to catch it at some point this week) and woke up …

Sponsored: The Importance of Eye Health

Think About Your Eyes Infographic

This post was sponsored by Think About Your Eyes as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received compensation as a thank you for my review. I spend a lot of time thinking about my health: how to maximize the value of my workouts, and how to (try to) eat foods that are good for me and avoid the junk. However, a recent campaign brought something to my attention: I haven’t actually been thinking about all aspects of my health, and may have been rather superficial in my thinking that as long as my weight and body shape is fine, …
