Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

A Simple Way to Take Care

November 1, 2011

To take care of yourself that is. I received my Day 10 Christmas Countdown essay today and it was this wonderful recipe if you will of a few simple things you can do to take care of your body, mind, and spirit so that you don’t crash and burn this holiday season. I will go a step further to say that it is a great way for anyone, especially a busy mom, to take care of themselves EVERY day! Here’s the recipe and it’s easy to remember:

5-10-15 For Healthy Holidays

Take 5 servings of fruits and vegetables

Add 10 minutes of quiet time to reduce stress

Combine with 15 minutes of gentle aerobic exercise

And that’s it! Ya know, I think I can do that. Considering how last month I didn’t make any progress with my weight (I gained those 2 1/2 pounds I lost), I think I might make this my new thing to do for the rest of the year. It’s easy and it’s what I need right now. I especially like the stress relief in there. With my household as chaotic as it is, that is one thing I cannot do without! I’ll just add these things to my water and vitamin regimen and call it good.

Okay, so, I’m in – anyone else? (P.S. Thank you Cynthia Ewer for such great advice!)

Hi! Just found your site and I love it!! I know it's been a while but if you Would, please, I would like to see your Richard Simmons cards individually and up close. My daughter is a mentally challenged adult who needs to lose quite a bit of weight and I think that this would be perfect for her. Thank you for your time, may the good Lord bless n keep you!

Hi Lisa! Thank you for the kind comments about my blog! I'd always hoped something would be helpful for others. Unfortunately, I got rid of that poster a while back, but I can tell you how to make it. Takes a little time, but easy overall. I know Richard Simmons made one out of construction paper to start so if that's all you have it will still work. :-) Please give me a day or two to find pictures and links that I used in the making of it and I'll get back to you. Have a great day and God bless.
