Eating Healthy for My INSIDE

I just wanted to say something today. I went to my doctor today for a yearly physical. He did blood work to test my lipids. My bad cholesterol was down by 30 points and my good cholesterol was where it needed to be.. I have been working out and eating "SUPER FOODS" I'll put a list under for you to see.

He said this is the simple things to keep us from having strokes, heart attacks, and diabetes. All run in my family.

It reminded me that whether or not the scale is going up or down, my inside body and choices are making me live longer for my boys. Please remember this when you get discouraged. Even though you might not see a difference outside, you are making a HUGe impact on the inside. The list below we use each week when we are making up our grocery list. Just having these foods in any way in our diet, has made a great difference.


Apples
Avocado
Beans
Blueberries
Broccoli
Cinnamon
Dark Chocolate
Dried SuperFruits
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Garlic
Honey
Kiwi
Low Fat Yogurt
Oats
Onions
Oranges
Pomegranates
Pumpkin
Soy
Spinach
Tea
Tomatoes
Turkey
Walnuts
Wild Salmon

yes...I do read your blog... and WONDERFUL NEWS...HEALTH is being on a LIVE-it and making CHOICES for your longterm benefit. DIEt's don't work for that very reason!
AS for the scale...it's a simple as calories in versus calories out...YOU need to BURN more and consume less...GOOD RULE of thumb is MORE extra 250 per day and consume 250 less! (about an EXTRA 3 miles walking or some weight lifting...or half a mommy and me class)
KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK
