A Gift from Nature #PowerofthePeanut #sponsored

 Let’s Get Wholesome up in here!  Cue the dance music.

Yes, that’s what I’m talking about too.  And so is Planters.

I love Mr. Peanut and his motivational speech. Take a look.

When it comes to your health and the health of your family, it is important to know what is good an wholesome for you.  And I was motivated when I was reminded about the nutritional value of the peanut.  There are so many times when we eat things that aren’t the best for us.  It is great to be reminded of a food that has 6 essential nutrients and 7 G of protein.  And, just like the video says, it is a gift from nature.

Over a year ago, I made it my mission to lose weight and make healthier choices.  After having three children,  I wasn’t making the best decisions to be a healthy person.  I found that I wasn’t happy with myself.  If momma isn’t happy, then no one in the house is happy if you know what I mean.

Today, I am happy to report that I have lost 22 pounds and I am on a mission to continue my journey of losing weight making better choices for myself so that I can make better choices for my family.  It isn’t easy.  There are times when you make the wrong choices and I need to pick up the pieces and get back on track.

Having great healthy snacks in the house is one way to focus and make a healthy choice.  I like gifts.  I like gifts a lot! So I felt like a member of the audience when I watched the video and everyone received a gift of Planters peanuts.  I wanted the gift too! So, I hopped into my kitchen and grabbed a serving.  Essential nutrients and protein are the fuel  my body need to stay on the right track.

What types of gifts from nature do you eat to stay healthy?
