Loved your video! Another item you can try that really works for many things but I use it to keep regular also is castor oil in my belly button. You should try it, then I just rub the excess all over my belly.

Congrats Monika You must be so happy that you found what works for you. I do workout and have for years and try to eat a healthy diet. But I was so discouraged wirh my last blood work which showed my cholesterol had gone up. I do not want to go on a statin so I've been eating mostly plant based and fish. Lots of salmon. I'm due for a 6 month redo of blood work and if the numbers haven't lowered I'm stopping at Mcdonalds😂

Get a good yoga matt and watch some floor exercise videos. Example, I do 3 sets of planks on the floor, then do leg lift exercises, switch sides do the other leg. I do the butt lift exercise and crunches. The planks took me a long time to work up to. I now do 3 sets of 1 minute each. When I started them I could hardly do 15 seconds. swimming for me has been the best over all. In an hour of swim exercises I usually burn around 700 active calories. I am usually alone in my swim lane too so no group exercise. I have joined in on some water aerobics classes but prefer on my own. Do you have the Silver Sneakers program?

OMG something is coming down next week on Delphi. IU wonder if RA is going to work on a plea deal??? Do you think the parents were involved in Madeleine disappearance or death? I heard so many different opinions on that but I cant imagine leaving little babies alone in my hotel room IF I was out of direct sight. I think Peterson will get a new trial. I think he is guilty or at least he is a big jerk for cheating on his pregnant wife like that.

I really want to do a true crime channel! I’ve been thinking about it! It’s my obsession! I also have followed the WM3 extensively and think they were guilty. I’ve read every document in the Callahan files. I think if the McCann’s did something it was an accidental overdose of sleeping medicine. Scott P - I believe is guilty but the break in gives me Slight pause. Yes, I heard there will be a Delphi update. So another one that tears be up is Johnny Gosh. The Staircase mystery was interesting. I also have been fascinated with a case called lake city quiet pills and of course Adnan Syed and JonBennet

My Dr has had me on one diet pill and I didn't lose any weight so at my last visit she talked to me about the shot, but I didn't want the shot so now I'm on another pill. I feel like my clothes are fitting just a little looser, but I haven't lost any weight. ❤❤❤

@@MonikaBeautyandLifestyle​​⁠ I have just been really grateful. I think that hardships sometimes help us learn to be grateful. I got diagnosed and treated for hairy cell leukemia. I am happy to be in remission and so grateful for life. My husband has a genetic heart condition that will probably limit his life. His brother had the same one and passed away a couple of months ago waiting to get a heart, but it did not come. He was 62. I know my KZfaq channel is not very good. But I’m going to focus mostly on lifestyle topics that we deal with after 50 and hope it helps some women and that maybe if I work hard enough, it can get better and give me a little supplemental income. I think my husband should stop working and enjoy life. I know he won’t do that unless I can start generating more income. We are trying to enjoy every small thing. I cry over beautiful sunflowers these days! I actually take time to enjoy sunrises too. And I’m grateful for every day and every friend and I guess I have a whole new appreciation for the people around me and all my blessings! ❤
