Well I have been feeling much better after my last rant. I know I am first a help meet to Brian, then a mother to 3, and then a friend to many. The Lord really opened my eyes to relationships that I can take to the next level. Also, I need to be faithful in the small things, even though they might seem small. The body needs all its parts.
On a separate note.....
We have been changing our diets. One day when it was -20 outside and I was bored we began watching netflix documentaries recommended by my sister in law. I loved them!
My favorites are "Food Matters" "Forks Over Knives" and "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead"
I am still not sure where I stand on what is best since every opinion is opposition with another but We have at least changed in small steps.
As a result we have been trying to eat 50%raw food.
Where a typical side for the boys might have been mashed potatoes we have switched it to this and our side is a beautiful salad.
One Spaghetti Monday we actually ONLY ate veghtables for dinner! Aaahhh! I baked a spaghetti squash with a homemade red pepper sauce. It was pretty good.
It has been hard. I quit like every weekend, lol, but I feel sooooo much better on the days I don't eat Wendy's or pizza.. The main reason being temptation of beautiful cookies that the Girl Scouts and I make, and of course the elusive DP.
The main consistent change is juicing. We have juiced every morning for probably 3 weeks now.
We have only found 2 delicious choices. One being the carrot apple juice seen above. The other one we drink EVERY morning now is one apple, one orange, a handful of kale and parsley. It's so good!
Anything with cucumbers or celery is awful! See below
My in laws are visiting for Easter and I can't wait to make juice for them! Get exited!!!!
first, inspired by your new eating regime. I am trying to be healthy too but have not managed to give up Diet Dr. Pepper. I'm a work in progress.
ReplyDeletesecondly, just read your last post as well, and I want you to be encouraged. YOU are one of the most challenging Christians to be around- you effect the world around you for JESUS. The Lord does have big plans for you. You are living for Him today and trusting Him for tomorrow. Keep seeking him with reckless abandonment. He continues to make my life more "uncomfortable" for His glory. Perhaps you are in a season of study and preparation, perhaps He is about to change things, perhaps He is not. But seek Him First no matter if you find yourself in the valley, on the mountaintop, or just on a long, dry, desert road. He is WORTHY! I love ya girl. you are awesome.
