Its Monday! Back to work..back to the grind 
STRUGGLING here big time!!! Had a GREAT week and fabulous weekend celebrating my man’s bday Great friends…great time! Today I am paying for it though 
I have made an awful discovery. I think I am allergic to wine!! Say it isn’t so please! Unfortunately I think I am. I’ve analyzed the pattern for some time now and it appears that when I over-indulge in white wine I wake up the next day with an awful case of sinus pressure and major congestion. Needless to say after a great day on Saturday filled with vino, yesterday I was paying the price. I’m not talking just a small case of the sniffles either. I mean BIG TIME congestion! Even today, although I am better I am still congested and groggy. Not good. I’ve done some research and one fact is that white wine carries more sulfates than red. The reaction to white may be greater as well. That makes sense to me since the times it has happened I was drinking white wine. Regardless, I am bummed. I truly enjoy wine and having a negative reaction to it is not fun. Would love to hear from anyone out there that has had this happen to them and any suggestions that have helped. I read another article that I am going to quickly share with you all since chances are you are sitting while reading my blog. A recent study has shown that on an average Americans spend 8 hours a day sitting and more than 50 hours a week! I bet there are some that can even beat those numbers! This is terrible for us. Not only does the metabolism slow down, but you also use less blood sugar for energy, and burn fewer calories. You are probably saying right now, but I have to work or drive all day and that requires sitting. Well here is a fact. Taking frequent breaks to stand & stretch provide huge benefits. Taking breaks throughout the day will give you a greater benefit than lacing up for a run after sitting for 8 hours. Bottom line, get moving. Go back and read my blog of a few weeks back on tricks that work. Sitting while doing ab and glute squeezes for example Stand up and do squats while holding your laptop or a dictionary. Sit on a stability ball instead of plopping on the couch to watch TV. It takes a conscience effort, one that is necessary
Until tomorrow…Have a Great day! Buen Dia!
Besos y Abrazos….xoxo “….Barbara por Atras, Barbara por Alante, y Siempre Barbara por Adentro!”
