It has been said that Beethoven was a genius and yet the truth is that it took incredible amounts of efforts to earn that title.  His work ethic was remarkable which is why he gained such notoriety in music.  If we have a health challenge that we have been plaqued with and we’re just not able to make the headway we want, keep in mind that your success in health too takes great efforts continuously.  It’s important to take breaks when we need to but know that we can figure out the peices to the puzzle of our radiant health by never giving up.   Even if people think you are a hypocondriac because you keep striving for your health yet you still have an imbalanced system, you must know that “nothing is ever wasted in all your efforts!”  In my darkest moments, when I couldn’t get enough oxygen throughout my body, I stayed awake and used my prayers of hope to keep me going.  I relied on every tool I knew to keep my spirit alive and thus my body going.  Even though my challenge is genetic, I have learned so many things I can do to make my health and quality of life so wonderful.  I am so very greatful to be here and able to help others in their journey. 

• Well I have good news and more good news, I figured out how to blog again (sorry-technical-not!) and I lost 3/4’s of an inch off my waist since our last meeting.  I don’t weigh myself right now as I am increasing my exercise cardio and weights and you always feel and usually are heavier during that transition.  I have increased my times of eating as I tend to not eat and I gain weight.  I eat small servings and am full and have better energy also as my choices are for eating less but incorporating the best possible foods for fuel that I can find.  Wow it works great!  I have been using an ab machine and that has helped me scupt my sides-really has worked great.  There is nothing better than how slim feels!!!  I almost got into a bikini for a picture but not quite that brave yet!  The most important thing is to make a plan and work it!  I wrote my plan down as I get so busy that its easy to loose my focus and focus is everything.  Speaking of that-when I said that calories weren’t everything-here’s what I believe from my years of research:  Calories are truly ALMOST everything as ”calorie reduction” is one of the most important things we can do on a daily basis to turn back the hands of time for youthfulness and health!  When we choose to eat smaller quantities of super nutritious foods, our livers thank us by digesting it properly and not backing up and building stones, the small intestines get the nutrient absorption we are ‘dying for, and nutrition is life throughout the body,…  Chew your food 20-25 times each bite-watch what happens.  It’s exciting!!!!!
