A Year to Better Health

This journey really started about 10 years ago but I have strayed off the path of good health. I have decided 2012 is the year to get back onto the path of good health. Not only for me but also for my family. I desire to train up my children to live healthy lives. I just read a quote and absolutely loved it. Deanna Duncan wrote on the Prize 31 blog

How true this is. So when I started this journey

in January 2011 I was 142lbs (just having my son 6 1/2 months prior)
dropping down to 128lbs by June of last year. Now I'm back up a few pounds to 130lbs. The way I dropped so quickly was just by trying to eat mostly natural foods, cutting out processed foods (especially with High Fructose Corn Syrup). It's amazing how much more energy I had and how better I felt...during last summer I lapsed due to it being so hot....we were in the 3 digits almost all summer long so ice cream was just to tempting to help cool me off...(it did the job until it melted...because it was so stinking hot outside) =}
The last 6 months of 2011 I didn't do so well of staying away from processed food. So now I'm back on this journey to staying strong and I just ordered my 30 day fit kit from Arbonne and I can't wait to see the results of detoxifying my body and putting pure, safe, and beneficial products into my body....(did you know when you eat whole, healthy, non toxic food our body reproduces new cells every 90 days)...that's amazing!!!
Good luck to all who are on this journey to bettering your health.
