Time Management

Two weeks have already come and gone in the New Year! I remember my grandmother used to say back in the 1980’s that time flies by faster each year. Before you know it, January will have come and gone and February.

Experts share that setting a schedule for your work on a calendar is the most effective way to organize your day. I created such a planner several years ago.

I divided the week into days and hours. On the far left side of the landscape page is a wide column marked Weekly Schedule. Under this column I placed Roles and Goals and an area of white space to jot down notes. I also set an area with some empty blocks for Weekly Priorities. The next column towards the right has empty blocks for Today’s Priorities.

I start my week on Sunday and run through Friday. I left the Sabbath column empty as I am a Seventh-day Adventist Christian and I do no work on the Holy Sabbath Day. I begin the time blocks at 08:00 and end at 20:00 or 8pm for people that are unfamiliar with the 24 hour time format.

Having a weekly planner like the one I created helps me list what appointments or commitments I may have that week. I can then schedule activities that I do in my business. One other effective tip I learned is to set a timer for 30 minutes and dive into a work project and do not get distracted while working on that task. You can keep repeating the timer and this process will help you manage your time better.

If you would like to download the planner I created, just fill out the form below and your privacy is my priority. I hate spam more than you do!

Lose Weight Permanently

How many diets have you tried? Have you lost weight and then regained it after a period of time?

How many potions and pills have you bought? Are you still having trouble losing weight and keeping it off?

Before you spend your hard earned money on an expensive lap band surgery, read this post. You are more than likely being misled by the multi billion dollar diet industry. Common sense and logic suggests that if you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. One pound consists of around 3,500 calories. A safe weight loss is losing 2 or 3 pounds per week.

Something really disturbs me about the advertising of Nutrisystem and the claims they make. The claims are that you can lose weight and lower your blood sugar. My question is for how long with their system and approach. Is it a permanent change? My beliefs and education tend to think the Nutrisystem plan is a temporary solution. Do you want a permanent solution?

Whole Wellness Club offers a permanent solution. Dr. Chappell is our spokesperson and is a veteran Naturopathic Doctor since 1971. He recommends going to your local grocery store or farmers market and buying organic fruits, legumes, nuts, vegetables and whole grains. If you cannot buy organic, buy regular produce and thoroughly wash the plants.

The permanent solution is that the plants are living with nutrients, minerals, enzymes, and vitamins. Your body will get the nutrition you need from the fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes. You cannot get fat on a vegetarian diet if you eat the right amount of food. Your body will signal that you are full when it has the nutrients from the living food from plants. The solution is giving your body nutrition.

If you eat animal products, you are eating dead food. Animal products are high in fat and cholesterol and have no dietary fiber. If you must eat any animal products, eat as little as possible until you can remove animal products from your diet. President Clinton is now a vegan and he has had heart health problems in the past due to an unhealthy diet of animal products. More information about the President’s change can be found on this website:

Dr. Dean Ornish

Do you know why someone that eats a super sized fast food meal is buying a candy bar 2 hours after eating that fat and sodium laced meal? The reason is their body did not get the nutrition it needs. A hunger signal is sent to the brain and then the urge to buy snacks comes. Once again, the key is giving your body enough nutrients. Drink plenty of pure water in between meals and your body will thank you. Most hunger signals are actually thirst signals as most people are walking around dehydrated.

Have you ever seen advertisements for Nutrisystem? Nutrisystem is teaching people a temporary fix with the same kind of unhealthy foods that the overweight person has been consuming. You cannot make a permanent change buying cookies, muffins, brownies, pasta, and cakes. The same amount of money you spend on one month of Nutrisystem will supply you with the best organic fruits, vegetables, nuts, whole grains, and legumes for 2 months.

Studies have shown that a vegetarian diet lowers blood sugar, reverses heart disease, and will help you lose weight when incorporated with an exercise program that includes a 30 minute daily walk.

Drinking one half your ideal body weight in ounces of pure water each day will also help you lose weight.

The following substances also help the body with weight loss:
1) Green Tea Extract
2) Lipoic Acid
3) White Kidney Bean

I have used Caldera Greens every day since 2010 to make sure I get plenty of dense nutrition. You can find out more about this remarkable product and the living mineral rich whole food that gives you abundant energy on my blog post here:

Caldera Greens Nutrition

By exercising each morning, eating a plant based diet that is full of foods that don’t have a nutrition label, and working outside on my small farm, I am at my ideal weight. You can also reach your goals if you eat a potato in its natural form without butter or sour cream and apply the same principles that I have. I wish you much success on your achieving your weight loss goals! I have been at the same weight since 1999.  I weigh the same now as I did in high school more than 35 years ago.

Made this delicious meal today while listening to the 2012 Rose Bowl game. A wonderful combination of flavors! Serve with brown rice or fat-free cornbread, with hot sauce on the side.

Makes 4 servings

1 package (10 ounces) frozen or fresh kale, chard, or collard greens

4 cups low-sodium vegetarian broth

2 packages (10 ounces each) frozen black-eyed peas, thawed and drained or

1 sixteen ounce package of dried black-eyed peas, rinsed and soaked for 8 hours

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 can (18 ounces) vacuum-packed unsweetened sweet potatoes, drained, rinsed, and chopped, or 2 cups cooked

A few dashes of liquid smoke

I prefer fresh kale but if you can only get frozen thaw frozen greens in a bowl of boiling water. Chop and combine with broth, black-eyed peas, garlic, sweet potatoes, and liquid smoke in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes.
