And the Journey continues....

Day 15 of 21

The detox phase of our nutritional cleanse is over and today we head into the third phase and final week.

In two weeks, I have lost 15.5 pounds and my beloved has lost 10.7 pounds.  Through healthy and clean eating of real foods, fruits and vegetables, proper hydration and healthy organic supplements we have reclaimed our bodies natural balance, released the unwanted compounds that were holding our sytems back and began the detoxification process.

Last night before dinner we drank our last detox shake and this morning we begin the process of restoring our digestive systems and our other internal processes through more clean eating, hydration and healthy supplements so they can operate at thier maximum efficiency.  

This cleasnse was the jumpstart that both John and I needed to help us reach our goals. He is headed towrds ONEderland and is just over 5 pounds away from reaching his goal and am determined to lose another 50 pounds this year and just over 34 pounds away from my goal.

- we are losing weight
- we have more energy
- our skin is clearer andhealthier
- we are learning new recipes, some we like, some not so much
- we are learning more about nutrition and food as fuel for our bodies
- we are sleeping better
- our digestion is better

And the list goes on.  Bottom line, we are improving our overall health inside and out every single day.   And the grace and the gift of that cannot be measured!

Here is to the start of another amazing day!  Thank you Jesus!

In my heart I know that they are together in heaven celebrating with Jesus and all those I love who have gone home to glory and that brings peace and comfort to my heart. My heart is also filled with so much gratitude because my parents left us with so many wonderful traditions and family memories, family was everything to them. They always instilled in us a spirit of gratitude and unconditional love, and I am so grateful that never was there ever a time that I talked to my mom or dad that I did not tell them how much I loved them. I was by mom’s side when she drew her last breath and I saw the lov...

Spine Surgery, Faith and Gratitude - A Long Road to Recovery

It's been awhile since I've shared on my blog, and this post was not at all what I had planned to share about, and certainly not as much, its long, yet here it is...... and so I'm hoping that my story may resonate and bring some hope to others who may be gong through something similar.  If it strikes a chord let me know, I'll do my best to share the journey.....because for me anyway, it's just beginning.  In August, I underwent emergency spinal surgery to remove a fractured disc between L3 and L4. The disc had shifted and was pressing directly on my spinal cord, leaving me unable to sit, stand, or walk, and in excruciating pain from my back down the right side of my body—all the way to my foot. It was terrifying, and the pain was like nothing I’d ever experienced. I had surgery on a Sunday morning, and that moment marked the beginning of a long road to healing. Anyone who’s had spine surgery knows recovery isn’t quick or easy. But I’ve been so incredibly blessed a...
