Half way through the week!

Lisa I'm so glad you're here with us! I've been thinking about the struggles that we all are trying to overcome. Most of my thoughts are about my struggles, because those are the ones I have control over, but maybe my thoughts will be beneficial and help.
     I think that the sum of who I am is made up of a million decisions that take place over the course of a lifetime. So it is important to take care of the important things now, this minute, and not wait until tomorrow. Part of those "important" things include eating properly and exercise, so we can feel great and have the strength and energy to live life to the fullest.
   Do you remember Charlene Gambill? She is Steve Gambill's mom, Matt's friend. She wrote a book called, "Abundant Health, the Alkaline Way." Here are some of her tips to avoid sugar cravings:
Don't give in to temptation: If you start eating the sugar (or refined carbohydrates, since they digest as sugar), the cravings go on and on. In fact, they get worse. It's like a drug addict: once you get started, you are then hooked. So go "cold turkey"; don't go near the stuff. Keep it out of your house & home." 
     I think I'll share one tip a day. Time for bed so I can get up and exercise. Tomorrow will be 4 days in a row!
