Healthy on the inside = Healthy on the outside!

Hi all,

Ok...my internet has been down...tapping into some wifi right now...hopefully my home net will be fixed and I can get back to blogging on a regular basis.

Something I have been thinking about lately is beauty and those sexy bodies that we always want....and we are so obsessed with figuring out the perfect recipe to getting them.

First things first!  One size DOES NOT fit all!  Learn to listen to your body!  Think about the foods that you are putting inside of them...because what you goes in must come out!  And I'm not talking BMs right now...I'm talking about your skin, your waistline, that pesky cellulite on your hips and thighs, and even more importantly the functioning of your respiratory system, cardiovascular system and your immune responses.  Go ahead next time you want that Whopper combo from BK think about all the oils that they have fried it in....would you take the oils and rub them on your face or would you like your thighs to look like that low grade beef patty?  Do you want your heart to stop working or your lung capacity to plummet?  I think not!

Think about food in its natural states...Fruits and veggies are filled with vitamins and minerals, water, fiber and so much more!  If we start to focus on the quality of things that we put into our body and what they are doing to protect us against illness and premature death the great body will follow!  I promise!  Also remember though that we all can't be like Twiggy...learn to bask in the strengths of your body!  If your built a little thicker think about all the stressful things your body can do...like run marathons, triathlons, walk for miles and miles, lift heavy things, do insane amounts of push-ups etc...I'd rather have that body than a tiny no-muscle, no shape, sick all the time cover girl!  Embrace what you have and next time you start to put something in your mouth think about what it's doing to your insides!

I'll be back as soon as I can!

Stay healthy!

I challenge all of you to try to eat 5 fruits and veggies a day!  I'd stick with more veggies than fruits...think color and freshness...experiment...and use the world wide web...there are some good recipes out there!  You'll also be keeping your whole family healthier...just think about that!
