MY LATEST CHALLENGE

     Today, I would like to address the issue of Health and Nutrition on my Blog!  I would like to let you know, that for some, health is a big challenge and for others, eating right and getting our body's in shape is a BIG issue.  Sometimes, it doesn't get your attention, until you are sitting in the doctor's chair and he has the facts right in front of him and he passes that information right back to you!  It happened to me, about 2 years ago!  Yes, that 106 lb girl in high school had bloomed a bit and got up to 198 pounds!  I am not ashamed to talk to you about my personal weight and as I've found in life, you will be a part of my accountability audience!  Well, the diabetes was a little "over" boarder line and after 2 years of nursing my sick parents and having walked them through the final stages of their life, I knew I had to address the issue and not put it off any longer.  I knew the program was working!  I saw the ladies in my church join, and get the weight off!  Now it was my turn, so first step....I joined!  The program is called BABES.  Beautiful Accountable Babes Exercising Sensibility!  This is a 12 week program that I now teach!  We teach sensible eating, 300 calorie for breakfest, 100 calorie snack, 300 calorie lunch, 100 calorie snack, 300 calorie dinner and 100 calorie snack.  This along with attending meetings, keeping an eating journal, and working through an incredible work book, along with exercising 3 to 6 hours a week. Our BABES program, started by Barb Swanson in Oklahoma City, has helped women across the country lose over 30,000 pounds!  I am one of them and although not at goal weight yet, because of "a plan," "a program," "a support team," and "accountability," including a choice to participate, I will reach my goal and continue with the 12 week program over and over until I get the job done!  Through 2 sessions, I had lost 30 pounds!   I found myself in the doctors chair again!  I had regressed a little.  He was not pleased!  I think I might have binged a little the week before the 12 week session started!  That was when the blood work was done.  He was pleased that I had recommitted to the program and it is not optional for me if I want success and good health.  Maybe weight is not your issue, but do you have some things you've been putting off, that you need to get done.  We all have a list!  Stick to your plan or write out your plan of action, if you don't have it, get committed, and get the job done!  My next Doctor visit will not be the same and I am committing to NEVER AGAIN!  I am able to do ALL things through CHRIST who STRENGTHENS me! 

For Health and Nutritional Needs, You should take only the best Vitamins!
