140 views!

I checked my profile tonight and I saw that my blog hit 140 views! I am excited. Thank you for taking the time to read my posts. I was thinking this is a pretty good number for a blog that is only a little over a week old. I hope you are blessed by my thoughts and that God gets the glory in all that I write.
Today was a beautiful day. I took the kids to the park and ended up seeing 2 other moms that I know. One of them was my chiropractor. She is very knowledgeable about being a healthy person. She mentioned that trying to get 10 minutes of exercise 3x's a day is better for your health than aerobic exercise for 30-40 minutes straight. She gave suggestions of jumproping with your kids, snowball fights, racing them, be a kid for a few minutes and have fun with them. It is not only good for the health but the kids think you are a really cool mom! She also has mentioned to me that if you are looking for optimal health and energy than to rid your cupboards of white flour and sugar. I thought this was impossible but in April of this past year, we did this and I was given wonderful recipes. I lost 28 lbs. by October. From November until December, I stopped walking and started eating white flour and sugar again. Guess what? I am going into the New Year weighing 20 lbs. less instead of the 28lbs. that I had lost and I felt horrid. Exhausted, tired and blobbish! January 1st I started my walking and eating right again and I am feeling much better. It is amazing that what we eat affects us so much. Just thought I'd share with you what I've discovered about my health in 2007 and if your struggling with energy.....clean out the cupboards and enjoy the fruits, veggies, whole grains and meat that God intended for us to eat!
