A Healthier Life...

I wanted to start off saying I know that I haven't blogged in a while...and I'm sorry to those that would read my blogs faithfully.

I have been sick for about 6 months now...(but who's counting right?) In October my asthma starting

acting up, and my G.E.R.D disease...and allergies...Goodness you think...well I'm trying not to worry

about it anymore. See thats my biggest problem. I am a *WORRY WART*!! 

I don't say that lightly either...anyone that truely knows me, knows thats one of the things I'm really good

at....worrying....*SIGH* 

I try not to...I really do...but The Devil seems to fight me on a regular basis....and its so hard.

Those are the times that I try to burry my nose deeper into the Bible trying to get something, or to hear

My heavenly father speak to me through it.

I have been put on a special diet for my reflux disease, and lemme tell ya...its not that great.

I have to avoid alot of foods, especially favorite of all...and that is my homeade puerto rican rice, Pizza, 

and spagetti. I thought what in the world am I supposed to eat.

Now mind you..I was really over weight..I'm only 5 foot 3 and I weighed 210 pounds.

and since I have been sick and now on the diet, I have lost a total of 45 pounds. I weighed 165

at my last appointment. Praise the Lord huh?? Since I have started my diet, I have learned to love

healthy foods, I eat alot of fruit and vegies, and chicken. I have gotten my kids to start eating healthier.

My husband is going to be a bit harder to persuade into eating better, but he is aleast making a 

conscience effort to help.

The kids at first wouldn't eat much fruit or vegies...and they were really picky about what they eat

and now little by little (with God's help of course) they are eating carrots, alittle bit of celery, chicken, 

roast, and alot of fruit. I've even got them to eat some low fat wheat bread. Which is ABSOLUTELY

AMAZING I TELL YA!!   *giggle* 

I'm also starting to get into some organics so its really amazing how good they taste.

We drink 1% milk, and eat frozen yogurt for a special treat. 

I have been reading about alot of health stuff, and Eating right can lead to a healthier life, and

thats what I want for me and my family.

If anyone has any tips on health food, or any good recipes that the kids would eat...please share them

so I can have more Ideas on dinner. I have also made a breakfast schedule for everyday of the week

and it will be the same all the time. So we will see what happens. Hope you all enjoy your day.

God Bless *hugs*
