A Healthy Us in 2008

Posted on Friday, January 25, 2008 at 08:44

We have gone primarily no refined white sugar and no refined white flour.  It has been tough.  However, now we are pretty use to it.  I made brownies 2 nites ago from The Family Homestead recipe, using fresh ground whole wheat pastry flour and honey.  I omitted the chocolate chips.  Crystal is a wealth of information on feeding your family in a healthy way.  I am going to try and find the book Sugar Blues by William Dufty at our library.  I have also implemented exercise into our daily routine.  If it is too cold or rainy out to do our walking, we ride atleast one mile on our stationary bike.  We are also primarily drinking water.  Lots of water.LOL  I feel 10X better but am really not seeing a great effect on the scale.  Ofcourse, Dh has lost 12 pounds and I have lost a measely 2 pounds.  I am not dissappointed, yet, because I see the results in our whole family. 

Blessings,

Trixi

Hallelujah! I am so proud of you all for deciding to decide and doing something about your decision. hehe! Any change is a battle. I know you can and will have victory. I usually don't see the scales move much although the inches are going. I have changed our eating and have lost a few dress sizes. Keep up it up for you have a invisable support team cheering you on. Mothers really have the control over what the family eats and teaches them for their future. I bless you and know Father is there to lead guide direct and touch you in this victory story. In Jesus' Holy Name you all are never the same. Lovingly, rilda *U*

Sugar Blues

It's been a long time (20+ years, I think!) since I've read this, but it's an excellent book. Also check out Let's Eat Right to Keep Fit by Adelle Davis. Thanks for the tip - I'm going to revisit Sugar Blues, now that DS is at that age when his friends often have candy (and we've just survived Valentine's Day).
