Angie's Answer

Wha-hoo! 

           I am so excited, our business just finished out with another terrific month.  Hope you do not mind me doing a little dance here for a moment.   Oh that felt so nice.  

                Tomorrow I am taking a group of women to a Woman's tea where they will be talking about how Women can effect healthy changes in their homes and with their loved ones, even themselves whom Ladies tend to not take care of very well.   I can tell that I am personally more confident talking to people about healthy changes because I am making wiser choices (but I am not saying I am talking at this tea as a speaker).  Even though the weight loss is not very noticeable yet I know that I am walking my own talk now more consistently.  I really do believe we are to take care of our health and that is a treasure from God not easily replaced!!!  I so want to help others wake up, stop bad habits and take care of God has given them.  It is not just as easy as knowing what to do and then doing it (well for some it is). I think I can relate to others who want to change and need to be encouraged to just start, even if it is something small, like never buying Margarine again, or switching to whole grain breads.   It has taken me 10 years but I have switched from a lot of harmful eating habits to better alternatives.  Like my friend Marianne convinced me to stop using artificial non-dairy creamers.  I do not know why that took much convincing. I would not even consider an artificial sweetner in my coffee or tea, but artificial flavored creamers seemed okay ( wierd I know)??  But finally I saw the light and my friend's wisdom. 

So I will leave you with a thought:

Do you like where your health is now?  If not and you keep doing what you have been doing (living with major stress, eating lots of processed or fast foods, eating too much, not exercising....just fill in the blank) will your health improve or continue to get worse?  Or do you live in fear of getting ill because you know that seems to be the American promise?  An old saying goes.....

If you always

do what you’ve

always done,

you will always

get what you’ve

always gotten.
