What Are Hormones?

What-are-hormones

I have always been so intrigued by our hormones and how our body works. So, I’m going to start a “Hormone Series” to share what hormones are all about.

Haven’t you ever wondered why sometimes during your cycle you have so much energy and feel so great and other parts you find it so hard to even get out of bed? Well, it’s your hormones.

What are hormones?

Hormones are chemical messengers that are made by a gland or cell. They are released to control and regulate the different parts of the body and bodily functions such as growth, development, and reproduction, as well as regulate the body’s metabolism, immune system, and mood.

What are the different types of female hormones?

Estrogen
Testosterone
Progesterone
HCG

Well that’s the start of the hormone series, follow up to see more coming soon!

My List of Resolutions for 2015

my-list-of-resolutions-2015

My List of Resolutions for 2015:

Start meditating: I have never practiced meditation before and have read so many positive effects of meditating, to name a few, stress relief and boosts your immune system.

Get even more organized: life can get pretty cray sometimes… But when you are not organized it can be pretty disastrous. So that being said I am going to make a plan to be organized and stay on top of deadlines etc. Towards the end of 2014 my Grandpa passed away and I was blessed with the most beautiful niece anyone could ever have…life got a little hectic and my blog took a backseat. This year 2015 I plan on blogging at least three times a week- Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Continue or even better my workouts:
In the summer of 2014 I completed Kayla Itsines workout program. It was the best shape I have ever been in and I highly recommend it. I would like to continue with the program but not be so strict with myself… And instead do more outdoor activities such as hikes, paddle boarding etc

Complete certain home projects:
This year will be two years that we moved into our house. I have a few projects that I would like to get done such as developing and framing pictures and putting them throughout the house, update our Window treatments,
