AHHH the CRAVINGS!!!!

Have you ever been craving something all day and can't quite satisfy it? Do your cravings bounce back and forth between wanting salty foods to sweet foods. For example, you start breakfast with a donut or sugar cereal and pretty soon your rummaging through the cupboards for something salty a few hours later. So you eat some potato chips and awhile later you start craving something sweet. And the cycle continues.
 Or maybe you can't stop eating because nothing seems to satisfy your appetite. Both of these scenarios should mean something to you.

ALL SIGNS LEADING TO VITAMIN DEFICIENCY!

Your body is telling you there's a deficiency in something. This is a perfect time to blend up some greens and make some hulk juice. The alkalinity in the greens will balance out the extreme cravings caused by too many acid forming foods. So get yourself a salad or some vegetables or drink a green drink. Try it. It works for me every time. WARNING: Pretty soon you will no longer be satisfied with foods without lots of nutrients. Your body will crave the nutrients. This could change you forever.  ARE YOU READY FOR THIS? :)

the new and improved me

When you feel good... When you can exercise hard . .. When you can see the results of your efforts . . . Life is Awesome! 


I wake up everyday so grateful to be alive and healthy.  I've been truly blessed. I am so happy to have been healed from sickness and disease.  I spent so many years physically and emotionally sick. Through diet, herbs, exercise and the Lord's tender mercies,  I've been able to change and be healed.   I'm healthy and strong now. I'm never turning back.  I'm becoming the person I want to be.  I can do things physically that I could never have done before like beat my brother-in-law in a push up contest doing guy push ups (and no he's not a weakling-i'm just buff :) or run 5 miles in less than 50 minutes. Or do 3 pull ups!! Wow! That doesn't sound like much, but for me, it's freakin awesome..  I've dropped 5 dress sizes.  I went from a size 9 to a size 4 and lost over 10 lbs.


Here's me last year... What a babe!!!

                                               Me now!!

You can do it too.  Start with your nutrition.  When you give your body what it needs, you'll feel so much energy that all you'll want to do is workout.  The food I eat fuels my body and it feels great. Experiment on what foods give you energy and what foods make you tired and sleepy.  Stick with the foods that provide the most energy; foods like: whole grains, vegetables, and lean proteins. 

Next step on my journey... a seriously ripped abdomen and maybe climb a rope.  Flashback to high school... I was the geek who never could climb the stupid rope.  Where's a rope for me now to redeem my scrawny, geeky self.

Promise all this healthy stuff will help you be a better influence for the children in your life.  I used to wonder how my kids had so much energy.  I can keep up with them now.  They learn their eating habits from me and it's up to me to set a good example for them.  Not only that, my kids will learn to have self control when they see me practicing it daily.  2009 was my year! Make 2010 yours!  Do it for them!
