Spring....'tis the season

Well here I am again, sitting here thinking about all the work I should be doing! Tis the season! I've been trying to get things planted in the garden, but it has been slow going. It will get done, I just do what I can. It's so exciting when I go out and see that the peas are up, so now it's time to put in another batch. I'm going to try to get my spinach in, and beans. That's my goal today. Hopefully the wind dies down enough to put the spinach seeds in without blowing all over!
I had all my tests done, and the doctors want me to do them again. I believe that they need them done again because they are coming up negative. Ha Ha...I win...
that doesn't mean that I will ever stop doing what I am doing! I've never felt so good (maybe when I was a kid, but that was a few years ago)! I've had comments on how healthy I look, and it makes me want to stick to this new eating plan. The water itself is amazing, and can never thank Gail enough for introducing me to Lila!
A dear friend of mine is involved with a product called Monavie, it is the acai berry juice, and sounds very interesting. I am going to order some from her to try. She has noticed a difference in her sleeping habits already after one week, she explained that her back aches kept her from sleeping the whole night through, and now she wakes up in the morning thinking "is it morning already"! I know a few people with joint aches that it would benefit!
It's quite overwhelming to see the changes people are willing to make for their health...but I still wonder why it took me so long to figure it out for myself. We've all heard 'you are what you eat', but that should have said 'eat to stay healthy, and alive'. The Canadian food guide is a crock as far as I'm concerned. I was looking at that the last time I had to sit in the waiting room at the oncology clinic. I think that is why it took me so long to realize what "Healthy" eating really is!!! By those standards, everyone is over eating...and it doesn't show or say how many preservatives, hormones, or pesticides you ingest every time you eat one or more of these groups! Why isn't water a food group? Without it we would die...so what's up with that? We are just not given the right tools for the job. Thank goodness for the Internet, and the people around us to give us that "kick in the ass" to get us going to motivate, and support!
