A Life (Eating) Change for the better.

I recently had a check up and my Doctor ran some blood test due to some medical issues I was experiencing.  The test came back a week ago (Monday) and I was not prepared for the results.  Two of the panels were not good and require me to change some areas of my life.  In saying that, I have been very stressed and down over the last week trying to make sense of it all and figure out what course of action would be the best.  It became very overwhelming to the point I just did not care.   What my Husband was so kind to point out was that I needed to take it one day at a time and ask the Lord for help to make it through just that day.  What a blessing and a peace that has come with asking the Lord for help.  I went to our chiropractor for my free birthday adjustment  this week and while there I told her everything that was going on...she immediately told me that I need to change my eating habits and that with a routine, I could turn those numbers around.  Well, that was a major relief and something Allen had been telling me over the weekend.   So I will be starting the "Atikins" diet or what I like to call my life plan of eating healthier over the next few weeks.  I'm trying to phase out the not so good foods around here and bring in the ones that are healthier for our family and with the Lords help this will be a blessing for our whole family.

  2. Thanks. I know it will be hard, but I'm taking the transition slowly and it should be a good thing in the long run.
