Hello!

I thought about writing an update a few weeks ago, but forgot how to log on and make a new post!   I'm certainly not very technical and still prefer to read my books on paper :)

We have been very busy with our adoption and getting ready for our little boy Carson to join our family.  Actually, he is already part of our family, now we just need to bring him home!

Can I give you a tidbit for the day?  I just took a class through Nutritional Weight and Wellness (weightandwellness.com) and loved it.   I'm so glad to know that other people are teaching what I am teaching, plus I gained some great ideas and recipes.  I would highly recommend you check them out and attend a class or have a consult with one of their nutritionists.  They also have a radio program in the twin cities on 107.1 FM called Dishing up Nutrition.  It can be heard at 8am Saturday or 6pm Sunday.  One of my patients told me of this and I'm so glad she did. (Thank you Linda!)

A final thought ~ eat real food!  What is real food?   It is that which is already whole ~ fruits, vegetables, proteins, dairy, healthy fats (butter, cream, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, avocado, etc).  It is not that which is made in a factory or refined and processed and placed in a bag or box. 

In America, we are set up to fail.  We have processed food and fast food everywhere and often times, it's cheap!  We have convenience foods and microwave ovens and have forgotten how to cook.  Challenge yourself to cook something this week using real food and real spices and herbs. 

That's all for now.  Thanks for reading!
