Drive Your Health in 2015

So it’s the new year.  Time for resolutions.  Time for change. Yeah, yeah, yeah.  We’ve heard it all before.  Some years I hate making resolutions.  It can make me feel crazy trying to “fix” everything in my life that should be better.  And yet, some years I love the challenge of trying something new and working towards a goal.  It just depends on my mood, I guess.  But whatever your plan is for the new year (resolutions or not), I hope all you mamas and papas will make time for your own health this year.  


Below are a few tips from American Recall Center (who are all about health and safety!) for keeping up with your health in 2015.  My Man is a doc and he can attest to the tip on there that says “always ask questions.”  Sometimes doctors just don’t know what you need clarified.  They see tons of patients each day, but those 20 minutes with your doctor are yours, so don’t waste it.  Ask everything you can.  Come prepared with questions.

Quite a few years ago I started feeling very tired all the time.  I exercised every day and I would feel so tired afterwards, instead of energized.  I had little kids at the time, so I just figured it was “mom of young kids fatigue.”  Finally, My Man (who was a medical resident at the time) suggested have a blood test just to see if anything else was the matter.  It turns out I had really high triglycerides.  Dangerously high.  This is something that runs in my family.  It’s hereditary.  With the proper medical help and food changes I was able to feel better right away.  However, I realized that 3 years earlier I had been to another doctor who did a check up for me.  He checked my blood and in passing mentioned that my triglycerides were kinda high, but he said nothing more and I did not ask.  He said I should watch them, that’s all.  I had no idea what triglycerides were or how they could affect me and I DIDN’T ASK!  So just remember to ask when you don’t understand.
What are you health goals for 2015?  
When is the last time you went to the doctor for a well-check up for yourself (and not one of your babies?)   
Do you make new year’s resolutions?  Why or why not?
Have a good day and make it a meaningful YEAR!

FUN DATE NIGHT IDEA! @warehouse22utah Cinebites br FUN DATE NIGHT IDEA! @warehouse22utah Cinebites brings you dinner and a movie at the same time! 

Enjoy a themed dinner while you watch a fun movie. The menu goes a long with the movie and is served to you while you are watching the scene it relates to. We saw Holes (which we love!) but there are many others to choose from. Our menu had a fun drinks, appetizers, main course, sides, and dessert. I left satisfied and had a fun time with my hubby and our friends. 

Purchase tickets online. Seating is first come, first served so arrive early if you want a certain seat (though there isn’t a bad seat at all). Let me know if you try this!

Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thes Date night with my hubby @amctheatres to see @thesheepdetectives … Fun, quirky movie, (kinda like Babe but really like no other movie I’ve seen before). Definitely full of kid vibes but adults will like it too. A who-dun-it mystery. We laughed out loud a lot more than we expected!

Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festiv Are you wondering if the Thanksgiving Point Festival is worth visiting this year? Here’s a look at what we saw today. 

We’ve had a lot of up and down weather so I wasn’t surprised to find a lot of the tulips already finishing up their season on April 23. BUT we still found quite a few areas with some big, beautiful blooms and it was a peaceful walk with less crowds. There were signs reminding us that more tulips were going to be blooming soon, so maybe wait a week or so if you want to see those new tulips. 

Thank you @utahstulipfestival for a fun visit! @thankspoint @theashtongardens #tulipfestival #utahtulipfestival #tulipseason #springinutah #traveltips
DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecen DO. NOT. MISS. THIS. Peter Pan Goes Wrong @halecentretheatre I laughed until I cried! 
We loved this one!! 

This is the sequel to The Play That Goes Wrong.  #peterpangoeswrong #halecentretheatre #thingstodoinutahwithkids #emptynesterlife #familyfriendly
Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Fami Valentine’s Day with my man at the NEW Miller Family Beehive Stage @halecentretheatre . It’s was the perfect day to see a rom com and my hubby was a good sport to see a play called “Hallmarked” (NOT his favorite play so far). The play definitely lives up to its name—lots of predictable moments, plot holes, and cheesy lines. 🫤 But when it makes fun of itself, you will laugh and leave feeling lighthearted.
Leave your questions in the comments section if you want to more of my thoughts about this new play. #halecentertheater #thingstodoinutah #emptynesterlife #valentinesdaydate #familytravelideas
