My Testimony
Most people want to eat healthy and just about everyone knows they should but where do you begin? There are insurmountable piles of information, do's and don'ts, and conflicting resources. Then, they find that if they want to provide healthful, whole foods meals for their families they must sell their soul to the kitchen for 5-7 hours/day, "hunt" for food through multiple stores and sources, and tackle the ingredients lists as they comb through the food racks looking for something that doesn't contain nitrates, nitrites, glycerides, Red #40, and multiple other ingredients I cannot spell or pronounce.
That is exactly where we were 3 years ago. My body was reacting to the poor diet it had been fed and the exercise it had been starved from over the previous ten years. My back was riddled with arthritis, my legs were breaking out into rashes, I was way overweight, and I was so tired. I couldn' even lift my 2 year old out of her crib.
Early one AM I had a wake-up call, literally.
I had a dream and I truly believe God told me that enough was enough and I needed to change. I woke up and flipped on Kenneth Copeland and the guest speaker of the week was Dr. Don Colbert, beginning a 2 week guest appearance on nutrition and the ill effects of poor diet. It was exacly what I needed to get started making life changes that have brought about radical changes in our entire family's quality of life. The arthritis is gone, I can carry my now almost -5 -year old anywhere any time, I have lost some weight and a whole lot of cellulite but gained a lot of muscle and dropped 3 clothing sizes. I can run, jump rope, hike with my family, and confidently wear a swimsuit to the pool. I have energy without the need for energy drinks, soda, coffee, and massive amounts of vitamins, though I do take a multi plus a couple extries.
My goal through this portion of my blog is to provide simple, straightforward options, recipes, and information to assit those who are looking for a way to navigate the maze toward a healthier, fuller life while avoiding some of the pitfalls, expense, and extremes along the way.
