Day 22 -- the big sis

Guess I am posting every other day now... oops.  Another nice evening nap after a very long day.

There are not many changes to note anymore.  Most of what is happening now is solidification of good habits.  At this point I could live on this diet forever.  I don't see any reason to change anything.  Maybe add fruit back into our diet but other than that.  We are all enjoying the food and have found great substitutes for everything we used to eat.  I don't foresee a large amount of changes after we are finished with this program.

I do want to throw a shout out to my big sister.  You know that this has been a family excursion but you may have not known how much of my family.  My big sis has been in a big stick for quite some time.  She used to work out like an olympic hopeful for months and months with only a pound or two of weight loss.  Her health had diminished much like mine did, but for a longer period of time.  She is only a few days behind us on the program and is showing amazing results.  She has not started an exercise routine yet though she is quite active and commented to me today that she is having the same embarrassing problem my wife is having... Their underwear keeps falling down!  I have dropped a good bit of weight but I don't have any trouble with my draws.  you gotta lose a good ton of inches to start having problems with the stayability of the choneys. 

So totally proud of my whole family.  She is a perfect example of someone who has done everything right with diet and exercise and lifestyle, that whole deal, but with no results.  It just goes to show that it is not always about just doing better things or living healthy if there is something in you that needs to be treated and removed.  It needs to be taken care of first or you are just wasting vitamins and veggies.

 I want to bring more attention to the holistic concepts of health.  It is about finding and treating the problem, not the symptoms.  One gland or one organ cannot be the problem in a holistic mindset because nothing in our bodies acts alone, everything works with and for something else.  If one thing is acting up then it means the whole system is out of balance.  Lets get to balancing not just stuffing symptoms.

Here's to a balanced life: mind, body, spirit
