12. Fitness for Life
Exercise and overall fitness boosts your brainpower, clarity of thinking, and lowers stress, and increases your energy. If you exercise outdoors then you also get a hit of Vitamin D for added energy.
“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.” – John F Kennedy
15. Learn a New Recipe
Cooking can be very therapeutic as you get a little “me time” as you slice and dice your vegetables. It can also be a way to bring families together as you all pitch in and help create a great dish to eat together later.
Why not challenge yourself and try a new recipe you haven’t done before? You could try Ratatouille, Chef Cyrille’s wonderful Bouillabaise or even his exceedingly popular Primed Carbonara Pasta made with Squash (not pasta!).
In the picture above Chef Cyrille is cooking another great dish, but for his family this time and not guests at his Greenhills located Brasserie CiCou.

21. Play Time
Playing is a great way to overcome stress. When you really let your hair down and live in the moment all your worries melt away. We played and laughed a lot as children so why not as often now? Rediscover your inner-child and play.

23. Start Your Bucket List
Dream big.
“Whether you think you can or not you are probably right.” Do not be limited in your thinking of what you can achieve. It is possible but starts with the dream, then comes the motivation, followed by execution.
The Great Wall of China Marathon rocked and was once on my bucket list, as was Japan Ironman. Remember though, it is your bucket so put in there what is dear to you.

How a Simple Lifestyle Change Helped Reduce my PCOS (PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome) Condition: A True Story –
By: Mae Ilagan from WhenInManila
Early this month, I thought I was sick because of severe bleeding. I’ve been diagnosed with Polycystic ovaries (PCOS) for 10 yrs and despite taking hormone pills prescribed by my doctor to fix my imbalances, my condition never really improved. I gave up on my medications 4 years ago, I didn’t want to take any medicine for they were also expensive. And so for 4 yrs, I’d only have my period 3 times yearly….
My 1st period came March 2014 then the 2nd came around August… 2 weeks after I significantly reduced my white sugar and rice consumption (also no grains and no noodles) as advised by Primed for Your Life Wellness Coach, Chad Davis.
Then Sept 5 came, I noticed I started having blood discharges. I thought it would last for only a few days, but it never stopped til early Oct. By the 1st weekend of October, the blood flow became severe, that I had to go to the hospital as I thought my bleedings were caused by abnormal growths in my uterus since I never visited my doctor for years.
My OB performed an ultrasound and confirmed that I was actually having a normal period. She was so surprised because I never took any meds and because I had my period again only after a month. She confirmed that it was due to my lifestyle/diet change. She (my doctor) even gave me a go signal to continue on with whatever I was doing and even asked me what I did, so she can also advise her other patients who have PCOS to do what I did! The ultrasound results were very good! I have no cysts nor polyps or any abnormalities. Turns out I’m healthier than ever!
Since I lack exercise, my weight loss is very gradual. I almost gave up and wanted to eat rice again, but little did I know that my lifestyle change was doing major changes in my system! I’m so happy now and I feel much healthier as I never thought my imbalances would improve!
I really thank you, Ms. Cathy and the whole Nurture team because you and Chad Davis were the reasons behind my health success!
Thank you for teaching me how to eat well and for adding years to my life!

I asked in my post before the Malaysian Ironman in Langkawi regarding the importance of race nutrition “Who will perform the strongest of the 127 Filipino strong contingent? For some that just might be 9:59:59 seconds.”
Well, meet Jong Sajulga, a true Filipino champion who finished first with a time of 10:17:32 among all the Filipino contingent, 5th in his age category of 30 to 34 (just missing a Kona slot by 6 minutes) and 22nd male overall including a strong pro field. A great effort in just his 2nd Ironman!
Jong’s previous best time in a Full Ironman distance event was 10:28:36, which he did last March 2014 at Melbourne Ironman, Australia.
When I chatted to Jong the day before the Ironman he said he was hoping for the following splits: – Swim 1:10:00 (he swam it in 1:06:58) – Bike 5:30:00 (he biked it in 5:27:16) – Run 3:30:00 (he ran it in 3:35:33) – Total time of 10:17:32.
