How to be successful with your healthy lifestyle goals

February 7, 2020 Rachel Ferrucci

I’ve partnered with Green Giant, Optimum Nutrition, vitafusion and L’il Critters as part of an Influencer Activation and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

I have tried many times to lead a healthier lifestyle and I wasn’t successful. This time I was determined to be successful with my healthy lifestyle goals and to keep the family on track! My biggest tip is to not change everything at once. To be successful with your healthy lifestyle goals add new healthy choices each week or bi-weekly. It takes 21 days to make something a habit so if you do a little at a time, each healthy choice becomes a habit and it becomes easier as time goes on. One of the reason’s why I love Walmart is because we can find everything we need to be successful on our healthy lifestyle journey.

A few months back I started going to a gym with personalized HIIT training and noticed after just two weeks I had more energy. I also started adding healthier food choices like more fruits and vegetables. My challenge with food is I love everything that doesn’t love me like cake, candy, and fried foods.

Green Giant® Cauliflower Veggie Hash Browns made it an easy choice for a morning side with my egg whites or a snack during the day. They also have other veggie products that can be added to everyday meals, such as Cauliflower Gnocchi. They are very flavorful and every bite has the crunch you expect, with one full serving of cauliflower in each serving with no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives.

A little help at the gym with Optimum Nutrition

To make sure I meet my daily protein requirement, I turned to gluten free Gold Standard Whey Vanilla Ice Cream which is only 120 calories, 1.5g Fat (or less), 2g Sugar (or less). They pack 24 grams of protein into every serving to support my muscle building needs after training. OK so it’s not actually ice cream but rather a delicious drink that you easily mix in a glass or shaker in your favorite beverage or water. It comes flavors you love: Double Rich Chocolate, Vanilla Ice Cream, and Strawberries and Cream.

I use a combination of aminos and caffeine with Amino Energy Fruit Fusion when I want a fruit flavored boost of energy and alertness. You can also choose a coffeehouse inspired flavor! You determine what’s appropriate for you, need an afternoon pick-me-up or use it for a pre-workout energy supplement that delivers 200 mg of caffeine from green coffee and/or green tea extracts.

This promotes a healthy lifestyle by supporting energy, focus and muscle recovery.  You decide the intensity you need by dialing up or down the number of scoops to fit your performance needs. Include this in your everyday performance and goals to help with energy, focus, and muscle recovery before, during, and after work-outs.

For the whole family

When you do things in groups or as a family, it’s easier to stick with it. You’ll always have someone there to support with your goals. Just like any sports team, you have to create your plan (play) and execute it. With Vitafusion Women’s and Men’s Gummy Vitamins, adults have a delicious way to be nutritious. They have a great taste is the only gummy vitamin brand with “clinically proven absorption”* You get taste and nutrition infused together to give both women and men the support their health needs.

The kids will love L’il Critters gummy vitamins great taste and a gummy bear shape they’ll love. Who doesn’t love a bear shaped gummy! It’s the only gummy vitamin brand with “doctor tested proven nutrient absorption”*. We want to make sure we’re giving our kids a vitamin that is nutritious without extra stuff! L’il Critters are all the nutrients they need without anything extra – no artificial sweeteners or flavors, high-fructose corn syrup, synthetic dyes, or gluten or dairy!

*For Vitamins C & D3 in products that contain those nutrients

** The ChefsBest Excellence Award is awarded to brands that surpass a quality standard established by independent professional chefs.

Why did no one warn us that menopause would turn our bodies into a crime scene… Dryness. Pain. Sneezing roulette. UTIs showing up uninvited. And doctors smiling politely and saying, “That’s just aging.” Cool. Love that for us.

Say Hello to Silky Peach Cream 🍑 A bioidentical estriol cream that works locally to rebuild thinning tissue, restore moisture, and bring back comfort where it actually matters. Not a Band-Aid. Not a $350 prescription. Not a lube that disappears by lunchtime.

Estriol is the gentlest form of estrogen our bodies naturally make, and Silky Peach Cream puts it back exactly where menopause took it away. Over time, tissue rebuilds, moisture returns, and suddenly intimacy doesn’t feel like sandpaper and regret.

Two pumps nightly. Then maintenance. Because it took years to get this dry… it’s okay if it takes a little time to feel normal again.

I’m done whispering about menopause. I got my life back.  And my peach is happy again!

I didn’t expect this to be the hardest part of getting older.

If sex hurts. If you avoid intimacy. If you dread wiping.

It’s not “just dryness.” It’s estrogen loss. And yes, it’s fixable.

Menopause doesn’t ease in quietly. It shows up hot, uncomfortable, and disruptive. And for way too long, women are told to whisper about it or accept it as “just aging.” I’m done with that.

Silky Peach Cream helped restore moisture, rebuild thinning tissue, and bring back comfort where menopause took it away. Not a quick fix. Not a Band-Aid. Just real, gradual relief that made me feel like myself again.

Two pumps. Some patience. And a lot less suffering.

Stop whispering about menopause. You deserve relief. You deserve joy. Your peach deserves to be happy again.

In paid partnership with #NoPainPact and with the support of #VoicesforNonOpioidChoices. 

When I found out I needed surgery, my 1st thought wasn’t the procedure. It was the fear of being handed opioids again with no real choice. After my last surgery, opioids were the only option I had, my insurance didn’t cover the non-opioid alternatives I specifically asked for. That showed me how quickly exposure can happen. Many people don’t realize that about 1 in 10 patients who receive opioids after surgery will struggle with long-term use. That’s nearly 4 million people per year. It’s no secret that opioids can lead to addiction, & we should be much louder about the fact that there are non opioid options that can be used during surgery to manage pain afterwards. 
Medicare already recognizes this & separately reimburses for FDA-approved non-opioid pain treatments, proving these options are real & available. Yet insurance barriers often make them difficult or impossible to access. Instead of making decisions about my recovery with my doctor, insurance policy made them for me. As I prepare for my next surgery, I want access to every option that reduces my exposure. I know how easily things can escalate. I’ve seen opioid use continue far longer than intended. It can tear apart families before anyone realizes what’s happening. What starts as short-term pain management after surgery becomes something no one ever expected, simply because safer options were never offered. It’s frustrating that some major insurers still haven’t expanded coverage the way Medicare has. #UnitedHealthcare is one of the companies whose restrictions make it harder to access FDA-approved non-opioid surgical pain options. Because of their size, these decisions affect millions. Surgery shouldn’t be a gateway to opioid addiction. Medicare covers these options. UnitedHealthcare & others need to do the same so patients aren’t pushed toward opioids by outdated policies. Patients & families deserve better.
