Tropical Traditions is America’s source for coconut oil. Their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil is hand crafted in small batches by family producers, and it is the highest quality coconut oil they offer. You can read more about how virgin coconut oil is different from other coconut oils on their website: What is Virgin Coconut Oil?

You can also watch the video they produced about Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil:

Tropical Traditions also carries other varieties of affordable high quality coconut oil. Visit their website to check on current sales, to learn about the many uses of coconut oil, and to read about all the advantages of buying coconut oil online. Since the FDA does not want us to discuss the health benefits of coconut oil on a page where it is being sold or given away, here is the best website to read about the health benefits of coconut oil.

Getting Healthy in June- Day 3

I was surprised that my body was not as sore today as yesterday. Maybe it was the Pilates. Or maybe my body just remembered this workout from the last time I did it. Either way, I am thankful. Yesterday was rough because all 3 of my kids at some point sat on my legs or pushed on my legs and it REALLY hurt. Glad that is behind me! I did level one of The 30 Day Shred and while I was doing it, remembered that I  much preferred level 2 and actually found it easier. So I will be switching to that tomorrow and see how that goes. I didn't do Yoga or Pilates today because I couldn't seem to fit it in, I will try to tomorrow. I like the relaxation it offers and I really do think it helps de-stress and help strengthen the muscles for the hardcore cardio that is 30 Day Shred.

As far as the eating goes, I stayed within my limits today again, but barely. I am going to have to cut back on snacking or pick better snacks. I went to the grocery store today and plan to make a homemade trail mix to snack on. Fruit also makes a great snack, so I will aim to do that as well. I had chia seeds in my breakfast and I am telling you, they are a GREAT source of fiber AND omega 3 and I think I read somewhere that they contain more antioxidants than blueberries or red wine or something like that. I am a fan. They are pretty tasteless, so I am going to start adding them to at least one meal a day. They are pricey though, that is the only downfall, but really, so are man made fiber supplements, so at least this is from a plant, no extra ingredients. I made a vegetarian taco salad for dinner that was good, but the kids didn't seem to like it. This will take some getting used to for them, I think. They are still eating, just picking at some of the main food.

Breakfast- oatmeal w/chia seeds
