Yesterday at our Shabbat meal I had a wonderful girlfriend join us, we have known each other over 10 years. She is also in the Wellness Industry helping her clients figure out healthy eating habits for their lifestyle and goals. She was telling us that our bodies are able to process different things depending on our background, age, and lifestyle. Many times we are unconscious of what we are actually putting in our body, and do not realize that it is causing us harm.
I feel amazing, have great energy, and am super strong, however the weigh has not budged. I have gained 10 pounds per child that never came off. I have definitely leaned out, but everything left is in my belly. I am so happy with my Herbalife Nutrition Program, and I know for a fact that is how I am able to go go go, because it provides me with the nutrients I may not be getting throughout my day of eating.
What I have not done is watch calories, cut any foods, or watch my portions, so now I am really committed to figuring out what is the right way for me. I cannot have this be like another job, I know for some people counting calories really works, but for me its about feeling good most of all. I know I will get there eventually, and I do not want to torture myself, lose energy, or feel stressed or frustrated in the process.
So she was telling us that sometimes there are allergies that are obvious, and sometimes there are allergies that cause inflammation on the inside. She has her clients give her their background, their current eating habits, and she has them do a cleanse. What I like about her cleanse is that it is not a torture cleanse, I just don't get torture my friends. She cuts out gluten, salt, sugar, and dairy, depending on the person, but prepares really delicious options with the food that they could eat. Luckily I have my magic chef husband, who is also excited about us getting focused on healthy habits overall for our whole family.
Bread is something I can live without, and I am not a sweet tooth, so I am definitely stopping all junk that I don't even crave, sometimes it has just been around. I told my husband to stop buying it, and he admitted that he has already resisted some junk like chips, where before it would be "something to munch on."
What I am literally obsessed, in love, could eat every second of every day, is Dairy, my kids love dairy. The funny thing is I don't drink milk and I do not give my kids milk, but all the other stuff, cottage cheese, CHEESE, yogurt, cream cheese, you name it I love it. Not even cheesecake, totally would rather do the salty and savory stuff.
So I have decided to cut out dairy completely for this month of April, and see how I feel. Eventually I will have my Bagel, Cream Cheese, and Lox, or a Pizza here and there if there is an occasion, but for now since I made the decision, I totally don't crave it or want it at all, and that feels great. I have even gotten some cream cheese on my finger this morning from serving my kids, before I would have licked it, I washed it :) and this evening my kids had Yogurt, I usually take a bite as I feed my baby, not tonight!
It's all about figuring it out my friends,
What works for you?
I haven't started my regular 30 minutes of exercise yet,
I have been feeling tired from not sleeping due to baby teething.
So excited to commit, and excited for my better than before baby body!
Please reach out if you want to join me in figuring out what works for you.
My Herbalife shakes are still part of my day, its Soy Isolate which is just the protein, none of the hormones, and almond milk, yummy chocolate with peanut butter, some people have coffee, I have a peanut butter cup every morning.
How do you start your morning?

The top left is my grandmother Zina and grandfather Aaron on my father's side, on the top right are my mother Irene and my father Peter. Sam and I on our wedding day, he is not fond of pictures, but likes how he looks here :)
My grandmother's mother was Yehudit, and that is who I am named after, that is my Hebrew name,
and Yulia was the Russian name that was close and ok to have in communist and anti-semitic Soviet Union.
My baby Matisyahu looks like this Mountain Jew, Gorsky Yevrei, Kavkazi line.
I love how I felt and looked on my wedding day, that is my goal, glowing, lean, and healthy.
