Truth is, I've allowed far too many bad habits to form in recent months, mostly due to freezing/wet temps & long, dark days. And why is it, anyway, that pumpkin pie tastes so much better than cauliflower?!! (Don't answer that).<br /><br />Hugs,<br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-52469824870255400012013-02-28T08:56:33.580-07:002013-02-28T08:56:33.580-07:00I too, need that reminder of what I am eating is n...I too, need that reminder of what I am eating is not only affecting me, but my family.Actually, I have been blessed with pretty good health and often it is easy to take it for granted. I know this has always been important to you, and I thank-you that you never give up getting the message out. It does ring true. Just want to add that I know that you are concerned about our physical healthy hearts, and our spiritual healthy hearts. Thanks Debbie, You bless my life in so many ways. I miss hanging out with you, but look forward to those times when we can get together. Love you. <br />PS i'm on my way over to "Kim's."hknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-71914037989214721652013-02-27T12:59:47.481-07:002013-02-27T12:59:47.481-07:00Wow, Debbie, this hits home.

Hers was a classic case -- had symptoms that she ignored/explained. The crazy thing? Her husband is a cardiologist.<br /><br />It's serious and can happen to ANY of us. We have to take care of ourselves and listen to our bodies!<br />Thanks for sharing, Debbie!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04823919278259760743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-70765456813398379792013-02-27T11:23:27.271-07:002013-02-27T11:23:27.271-07:00I really needed this today, Debbie.

I am encouraged by your words and I am going to check out Weigh-in Wed.@ At Home With Kim. With the warmer weather coming it will be easier to walk and change my bad habits, with God's help!

Weightloss is just a part of it. Another part of it for me is eating less ready-made foods and eating more whole foods. And MOVING on a regular basis.

I'm only 29, yet it's just been in the last two years that my thoughts have started genuinely shifting from "losing weight" to "overall health and wellness". For me, my wake up came because I had my cholesterol checked at a health fair and it was HIGH. I can understand why it's hard to see the bigger picture until a piece of that picture affects you directly. I'm trying to include my son NOW in making healthier choices and the reasons WHY we are making those healthier choices so that hopefully he will carry the knowledge with him into his teen and early adult years. <br />Really enjoyed your post and getting to know you through the WIW link up group! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-63353093834915145122013-02-27T07:44:49.431-07:002013-02-27T07:44:49.431-07:00Dear Debbie,

They will put me to bed immediately. I can However walk, and am blessed with a husband who likes to tag along, even though he's in much better shape than me. We bring cameras with on our walks and that makes it so much more interesting. <br />To bring my weight down I have a simple trick. I just write in my diary every crunch that comes into my mouth. This way I am always aware of what I'm eating. I have lost almost two kilos this way, but I need to loose at least five more, and stay there.<br />I have been inspired by reading your blog. Please keep up the good work.Felisol https://www.blogger.com/profile/12240191154632603841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1282814980296803369.post-86709645238228806272013-02-27T06:42:52.204-07:002013-02-27T06:42:52.204-07:00I have changed my whole lifestyle to eating health...I have changed my whole lifestyle to eating healthy, exercising regularly, and staying fit! I believe it is my responsibility to take care of myself just as much as my kids. I do it to see my great, great grandkids some day!(and the loss of 20 pounds helps too!)You go, Debbie! You can do it!(yes, you can!)Heidi Rosettinoreply@blogger.com
