Supplies for Flower: Scalloped Circle Nestabilities, 1 1/4", 1", and 3/4" Circle Punches, Decorative Scalloped Scissors, Martha Stewart Hydrangea Punch, Fiskars 1/4" Flower Punch, Adhesive (I use Ranger Matte Accents), Mouse Pad or Piercing Mat, Stylus, Snips
1. Create all your circles with your punches and dies.
2. Cut scallops around your three smaller circles with mini scalloped scissors. They don't have to be perfect....mine aren't.
3. Cut a pie shape out by cutting 1 or 2 scallops out of each circle.
4. Glue edges back together.
5. Cut half way down toward the center between every other scallop. You may want to cut only one out of the smaller circles.
6. Repeat 3, 4, and 5 to complete all of the circles.
7. Place flowers on mouse pad or piercing mat and soften the centers with a stylus. This helps for the flowers.
8. Form the smaller flower blossoms with a small tipped stylus and pressing down into the mat.
9. Attach layers together with adhesive. I started with the largest and finished with the smallest. The paper piercer helps postion and hold flowerlayers in place.
10: Finish your flower.
11. Finish your project. I used a sponge to apply ink to the layers to bring the flower to life.

A new study shows that a regular Pilates class improves the immune function within three months.
What Is The Immune System?
Our immune systems are the first line of defence against bacteria and infectious organisms. When these substances invade our bodies causing disease, the immune system fights back with an 'immune response' that attacks infection. A healthy immune system is important because without it infections can overwhelm our bodies causing poor health and in some cases death.
How Do We Know It's Working?
Our immune function can be tested through blood exams but also by measuring antibodies in saliva. This is because secretory immunoglobulin A (SigA), an antibody that provides mucosal immunity, is found in the salivary glands. It's also found in the tear ducts and the genito-urinary tract.
Mucosal immunity protects the gut, lungs and mouth from infections. It has its own rhythm with the highest level in the morning and its lowest in the evenings.
Levels of SigA can change in response to physical and psychological stresses.
What Affects Immune Cells In Our Saliva?
Recent research indicates that there are higher levels in adults than in children, and in children the 11-20 year olds had higher levels than in the 1-10 year olds. This indicates age affects immune cells.
Researchers found no salivary difference between men and women.
How Does Exercise Affect Saliva?
Intense activity can lower the amount of mucosal immunity. Studies show that high levels of physical activity suppress mucosal immunity immediately after activity, taking 24 hours to recover. Intense training over years may lead to long term suppression of immunity.
What is Pilates?
Pilates is an exercise that involves stretching and strengthening the muscles. No cardio is involved. It's a similar discipline to yoga in that it involves the body and mental concentration.
The physical exertion of Pilates emphasises core muscles, such as lower back, outer thigh, and abdomen, along with balance, strength, flexibility and endurance. It was originally invented to help with the recovery of injured dancers. Joseph Pilates watched the movement of animals and created a series of exercises based on his observations.
Because it involves low impact exercise Pilates is recommended for virtually everyone, but particularly people with injuries and the elderly.
What Happened in The Study?
A study examined the effects of Pilates on the mucosal immune function in older women.
The group was comprised of 12 women who were split into a control group and a Pilates group. Samples of their saliva were gathered before and after exercise. The Pilates group undertook a Pilates exercise program for three months. High intensity activities were carried out before the Pilates program began and again after it had finished.
And the Results?
Researchers found that the salivary rate in the Pilates group was higher than the control group after the three month period had finished. It was also significantly higher during acute exercise after the three month Pilates program. This suggests that regular a Pilates program can increase the salivary rate and boost the mucosal immune response.
So it appears that taking up Pilates is not only good for your posture and mental well-being, it can support your immune system too.
Natural ways to boost the immune system are essential, particularly with the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. If you're not a fan of the gym, look for a Pilates class and wave goodbye to constant colds!

Holiday Fear
Saturday, November 17, 2012
Am I the only one that fears the holidays. I am trying to follow my diet plan, lose weight, and control my diabetes. However, I do all of the cooking for my large family on the holidays, and they are not dieting. So, I have to cook all of these tempting foods that I am desperately trying to avoid. I refuse to let my concerns ruin the holidays, especially for my grandkids. To me they are what make the holidays special. So, I will continue to make them all of their favorite foods and pray that my will power is strong enough to survive the holidays.

Add me to the "fear the holidays" crowd!! I have a weakness for shortbread and all it takes is one bite and I want to gobble down a whole bunch!! AND.. chocolates.. bad news too.. We need to be strong and try and keep to balance and moderation. I freeze alot of the goodies and try and just take out one or two at a time.

This is an overall lifestyle change that you are involved in, not just a diet. You will eat as healthy as you can because you want your body to be nourished by good, healthy food! After all, you ARE what you EAT!! Maybe you will overeat a bit on this day, but you can average your calories out for the rest of the week! Good luck!

When I was "dieting" I would worry about the holidays. Now that I am engaging in a healthy lifestyle, I don't worry. I do my best to be mindful of my portions. However, if I do overeat, I don't beat myself up anymore. One less than perfect day of eating will not make or break a person's healthy lifestyle.
Because this is a lifestyle change, not a diet. There are going to be days you eat more than others. And that's okay as long as it doesn't happen every day. You should enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner !! It's okay to have treats in moderation.

Yes, I fear the holidays. but also because it's my birthday in there plus my husbands, so whoo-eee, here we go down the eating trail. But....I have learned so much about portion control and itty bites to get along. I truly feel that I can get through everything with eating tons more healthy than I ever have in all my 53, soon to be 54 years! We can do it because our minds are so changed to a much healthier person over-all! I had to comment when I saw your blog title because of my fear too. A friend of mine had commented so that's how I saw it! Good luck to you!

Moderation is the key. If you deny yourself you're more likely to overeat. Keep your servings small and you should be ok.

Wishing you the best. I agree that portion control will be very important with all the big delicious dishes that are being served. You are such a wonderful cook and I know your family appreciate the love you put into the meals. Take it minute by minute.

Yes, I fear the holidays. Thanksgiving won't be so bad because my sister is having dinner at her house, so I can try to pick healthy foods when fixing my plate. But Christmas is at my house, and I've already gotten requests for red velvet cake, peach cobbler, hash brown casserole and macaroni & cheese.

I gave up cooking the high caloric dishes and I basically just cook for myself. Just watch your portions and with the extra running around to get things done, that should burn a few calories. Enjoy your holiday.

I also cook a lot of dishes that I don't get to eat!
It makes me happy when my family likes them.

To begin the game:
-Start at the village on the topmost level of the game board. Move counterclockwise around the board.
-Each player will roll the die, and whomever rolls the lowest number goes first. Proceed clockwise.
-Each player should choose four resource cards. Chose one card at a time in game order until all players have four cards.
-If a player rolls a 6at any time during the game, that player loses a turn.
Game Play:
-Roll the die and move the appropriate number of spaces.
-JUNGLE ESCAPE cards will be chosen on every turn. Read aloud and follow the directions.
-If a resource card can be used, discard to the bottom of the pile and do not pick up another card.
NOTE: It is possible for each player to have less than four resource cards. You must not draw new resource cards until the next level or trading post is reached. Once you descend to the next level, you may pick up as many resource cards as needed until you hold four in your hand. You may never exceed four resource cards.
-At the end of each level there is a village space where you will descend a level. At the time you change levels, you cannot pick up a JUNGLE ESCAPE card.
-If you land on a village space, you will have the choice to trade one RESOURCE card.
-On each level there are TRADING POST spaces. TRADING POST spaces are designated by a picture of a hut. Do NOT pick a JUNGLE ESCAPE card.
-At each TRADING POST a player will have the choice to barter with another player for a new resource; however, you are only allowed to deny trade three times throughout the game.
-If you have fewer than four cards, instead of trading, you may pick a new resource card.
-You may opt to trade resource cards with your opponents if you land on a trading post. However, if you land on a trading post you may opt to not trade and instead draw one resource card.
-To trade/barter, first choose the opponent you wish to trade with.
-You may request any resource from your opponent, and may negotiate any way you wish to attain that resource.
-As the opponent in the trade, you have the ability to decline 3 different negotiations throughout the course of the game, so use them wisely!
-During any trading session, a trade between resources must be made, there can be no withdrawls.
Life Level Index Chart:
-Each player will recieve one life level index chart.
-There are three divisions on the life level index chart listed as health, water, and food. These divisions represent your overall life level shown by a series of circles at the bottom of the Life Level Index chart.
-Throughout game play, JUNGLE ESCAPE cards may indicate a degradation of one of the 3 divisions.
-If a resource can be used, do not degrade; however, you must discard the resource card without choosing another.
-If resource cannot be used, degrade in the appropriate division.
-If a jump is made, designated by gap between circles, you must degrade a LIFE level by one.
-If at any point during the game you have reached a life level of one, you must remove your piece from the board and discontinue play. You are deceased!
