Avocado BLT is always an easy go-to. Yes, turkey bacon! Not everyone eats 🐷, besides the little ones are too adorable. Decided to try a sliced brioche toast, but prefer a heartier bite with sourdough or a grainy bread. Yummy nonetheless. 😋 A perfect avocado is A MUST! 😁🥑

I have attended many CPR classes over the years, but was never told this…..
When you are alone and have a heart attack. What are you gonna do then ?
A really good post that can't be shared often enough:

1. Take a 2 minute break and read this:
Let's say it's 5:25 pm and you're driving home after an unusually hard day's work.

2. You are really tired and frustrated.
All of a sudden your chest pains. They are starting to radiate in the arm and jaw. It feels like being stabbed in the chest and heart. You're only a few miles away from the nearest hospital or home.

3. Unfortunately you don't know if you can make it..

4. Maybe you've taken CPR training, but the person running the course hasn't told you how to help yourself.

5. How do you survive a heart attack when you're alone when it happens? A person who is feeling weak and whose heart is beating hard has only about 10 seconds before losing consciousness.

6. But you can help yourself by coughing repeatedly and very strongly! Deep breaths before every cough. Coughing should be repeated every second until you arrive at the hospital or until your heart starts to beat normally.

7. Deep breathing gives oxygen to your lungs and coughing movements boost the heart and blood circulation. Heart pressure also helps to restore a normal heartbeat. Here's how cardiac arrest victims can make it to the hospital for the right treatment

8. Cardiologists say if someone gets this message and passes it on to 10 people, we can expect to save at least one life.

9. FOR WOMEN: You should know that women have additional and different symptoms. Rarely have crushing chest pain or pain in the arms. Often have indigestion and tightness across the back at the bra line plus sudden fatigue.

HELP save lives by spreading this message. 🙌🏽🙌🏽

‘Tis the season to be jolly! Many find the winter months and the shortened daylight difficult or depressing. Make your own light! Keep in touch with friends and family and be sure to check on those who suffer during this time. Mental healthcare is vital. Merry Christmas! ☃️🎄🎁

Sometimes you have to not play superwoman and fight through injuries. Sometimes you just have to rest.

Today’s breakfast and hearty meal. Homemade bakery multi-grain bread, smashed small avocado with tomatoes and an over medium egg topped with sauteed tomatoes and sriracha.

Great fats, fiber and protein! This should hold me for outdoor training and sweating. Vitamin D!!!! 🌞💯 💪🏽🥑🍞🥚🍅
