Recently I have come across some old photos of myself; either pictures that friends have shared with me or old wedding photos. I have come to the realization that I no longer look like the same person and I had to make a change...for ME. Of course making a public statement like this makes it all the more real and holds me accountable right?
The first change I made was using essential oils as part of my daily routine. I've always had problems with allergies and since having kids I sound like a bear when I'm sleeping. (At least that's what my husband says LOL) Using essential oils have been great for my allergies without the drowsy side effects, and believe it or not snoring isn't an issue. Chris can totally tell when I haven't used them. If you're wondering what in the world I'm talking about when I refer to essential oils please see my essential oils page for more info.

Another step forward that we have taken as a family is incorporating juice plus into our daily routine. It's still early in the process but I've only heard good things about them. I have noticed that I do have a little bit more energy than before, and I am looking forward to seeing continuing benefits.
I have started down this road more than once only to fall off the path whether it was a week later or even a few months later. Sound familiar to any of you? This time I have decided to take one day at a time. Each day I can make the right choice and have my shakes for breakfast and lunch or I can choose the biscuits, bacon and eggs. I can choose to go for a walk, or I can choose to sit on the couch. I even have my husband walking with me which kicks my butt every now and then. My goal is to run a marathon which is huge for me because I am not a runner at all, but everyday I take a few more steps. I would love to hear your story.
