Most people go on living in a sort of mediocre zone. They don't feel great but they don't know how good they can feel. They feed themselves sub par. They feed for convenience and for sustenance not for health and vitality. If you don't let your body know what real food is, you are missing out on how you can feel and perform. Many people spend more time picking out their pet's food than their own.
I ate at the hotel for breakfast every morning. I ate white flour pancakes and cinnamon rolls. Eggs that were from a container not a shell. I had some fresh fruit but mostly my breakfast ended up as paste in my belly. Try mixing white flour with water....paste. That is what is in your intestines. I couldn't do my normal morning "business" and thus, my gut wasn't too pleased with me. I needed whole grains. Today, I made some Tropical Peach Muffins with my sprouted wheat flour and fresh peaches from my tree. We threw it down with a great smoothie packed with spinach and cabbage and blackberries. My body rejoiced. I feel wonderful. Sure, it is a little work but so very worth it.
Take time to "feed" your body in every sense. Listen to what it is telling you. Is your stomach happy after you eat? Do you take care of business after you eat on a regular basis? Is your hair and nails healthy? Do you have a sugar drop in the afternoon? Evaluate your health and indulge yourself by feeding your system what it is screaming for you to give it. If it is screaming for donuts and chocolate, your body is telling you it is time for a cleansing. You crave sugar when yeast is overtaking your system. Clean the yeast and the cravings will go down. Do a sugar elimination diet for a little while also and you will be surprised what that does for your sweet tooth. Clean your liver. Drink smoothies. Do a little spring cleaning of sorts.
I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day. I wish I could have taken you all with me to the sunny beach. You all deserve it! Take a little time out for yourselves and treat your body right.
***All coconut oil is in so email me for pick up. Supplement orders will also be put in later this week.

so true, I went from a size 4 to a 10 during my last pregnancy from eating too many sweet treats, I decided to cut sugar (and processed carbs) cold turkey, the cravings were SO bad the first days but then they stopped and now the thought of anything loaded with sugar is not appetizing at all...and I'm a back 4 again !!!! :)
LOVE.
Glad you had such a good time. :)
I need to sign up for a monthly (at least) class- complete with information, assignments, and recipes. It's just all very overwhelming to me! Let me know if you ever want to teach a class.
If you are eating out order an egg sunny side up unless you see them making the omelette to be assured it is coming from a shell and not a container. Maybe not the egg you'd pick at the store yourself but a bit better than the container.
You DID take me with you!! :P
Good times!
I'm on a healthy eating mission as of late - not that I was eating bad before, but just not as great as it could have been. The first week of sugar type withdrawals and hunger almost did me in, but it is getting so much better now and the cravings are almost gone.
Good job, Kelli and Ryan! You guys are both looking great and what a blessing to your children! Yes, you need chickens! THey are easy and the kids will love them. They won't be able to say they don't have pets any longer. Go for it. You have the perfect spot for them.
