Studies have shown that people that have a healthy spiritual life tend to be healthier mentally and physically as well. Here’s a verse to meditate on.

For bodily exercise profits a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. – 1 Timothy 4:8

Okay I posted this on my FB page a while back and thought I’d share it here too. It’s very appropriate for this time of year when everyone is still very high on resolutions to get healthier. —–

As we enter into the time of year where everyone is making resolutions to get healthier and lose weight among other things, I would like to address a few things. If you are one of those making such resolutions, this should really apply to you. This season I want you to remember a few things.

Hello…. anybody out there? lol. I bet you have been wondering what’s going with me and if I was going to post again. Well, truth is, I have been extremely busy working on research and case studies.

I am still on the “starve the yeast” program and making great strides. I hope it will be cleared up soon so I can get back to some normal eating. I do miss my mushrooms, quinoa and brown rice. The sugar part of it is not big deal, but I do miss certain carbs.

On way I can tell that I am getting better is that we have had a lot of humidity in our area lately including some rain ad snow. Usually, I get these tremendous migraine headaches when it’s going to rain. I have not had one. I also have not been reacting to winter rye grass as much this year either, which is one of my major allergies. In addition, I have taken off few more pounds…without even trying. I did meet my target BMI a while back, so this is great. Now I am on my way to a lean BMI!

I’ll keep you posted.

It’s been almost two days since the last “official” day of detox. I feel so great. I love that I can wear my favorite jeans again without having a muffin top and feeling like my circulation is cut off. lol. They are actually feeling a little loose today. I will be working on losing those last 10 now though. I really want to do it before the holiday season so I can have a few treats here and there without feeling guilty. I miss my organic super dark chocolate.

As mentioned, I decided to go another few days before adding food back into my diet. I think I’ll start with my favorite whole grains, oatmeal and quinoa. I actually could have had those during detox, but since my supplements had it in there, I chose not to have extra. I will be putting off any other allergen food for a little while though. I’d actually planned to have eggs first since it is my preferred protein of choice, but after reading a PETA story about male chicks, I’m having a hard time reconciling that. I purchased some organic extra firm tofu today so I might decide to have a great stir fry soon. Our family is celebrating a special occasion this weekend, so I have to be careful about what I select to add back in because I won’t be able to have anything else new for a few days. I have opted to stay off wheat products for as long as I can. I’ve found that my body does not do well with wheat and considering two out of my three kids have wheat allergies, it’s probably best anyway. No sense in cooking it for only part of the family. I really like pita bead though, so I may have to find an alternative. I already make oat bread for my girls. Maybe I can figure out a recipe for oat pitas. I think I will work on that.

I’m creating a new exercise routine for myself and hopefully I can kick my body into gear and get exactly where I want to be. What are you doing for yourself to get healthier?

By the way, I now have a link set up for supplements and homeopathic remedies I like. You should check it out. (www.mynsp.com/livingnaturally) Don’t let the  “business opportuntity” look fool you. The products are excellent and affordable. I highly recommend them. Many other NC’s and health professinals do too. I would not recommend anything that I wouldn’t use myself. You won’t be disappointed.

Another day down. I was a bit sluggish today. However I think it has more to do with weather and allergies than anything else. We had an ozone alert day yesterday and high pollen count followed by rain today. I’m pretty much a human barometer. I get pressure headaches any time it rains or threatens to rain. We don’t have any major plans for the weekend so it will be easy to stick with my detox through the holiday. Plus, I get to add lean meat and fish back into my diet. I’m looking forward to some grilled salmon, maybe even a little sashimi.

I don’t have any tidbits today. I didn’t really think of any. Just drink lots of water. Water is very important for every function in your body. A body can last for weeks, even months without food. It cannot survive even days without water.
