Keep Calm and Eat Healthy

| Filed under ,


Because of my sister and dad's high cholesterol, we have to eat healthy and right now, we on a gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy free diet for 3 months. To tell the truth, so far, it has not gone too well for me. :( My feelings towards this diet have definitely changed for the better and I am getting used to it, but I still would love prayers. :) So, since we are on this diet, my mom has been doing a lot of research on healthy living. We now drink a sort of liquid grass mixer called "BarleyMax." (gross, I know)


When I first started drinking BarleyMax, I would gag every time I drank it. Then, mom got the berry flavor, and it wasn't quite as bad, but gagging was still inevitable. One day, I prayed about it and set my heart to liking BarleyMax and the gagging stopped. With the Lord's help, I stopped hating BarleyMax. Now, there still are days when I am grossed out when I drink it, but it is not nearly as bad.

Eating healthy has changed my way of thinking of food.  Instead of thinking of it as pleasure, I think of it as fuel. Instead of eating candy or carbs when I'm hungry, I eat carrots. I've learned that Cocunut Milk and Almond Milk are actually really good. I've learned to control my sugar and fruit (yes, it does have sugar in it) intake. Healthy Living has changed my life.

20 minute run. 6 minute workout.


Today I went on a 20 minute run and then did a 6 minute work out with the Nike Training Club App
on my Ipod touch. Its a really neat app and I did a leg workout, which really works. I am so tired. Lately, my mom has told me to do 30 minutes of exercise 4 days a week. I usually bike with my dad on Mondays and Wednesdays and on Tuesdays and Fridays, I run by myself and do a Nike workout. I'm thinking about getting a Ipod armband so its easier to run with a my Ipod.

URGENT prayer request

One of my best friend's grandmother just died last night. It was very sudden and unexpected. Please pray for their family as they go through this trial. Pray that God will bless them as they fervently ask for His help. Thank you.

Me and Elizabeth (my friend)

Is my blog seeming a bit boring?

I feel like my little blog has seemed a bit boring the last few months and my many excuses could be "oh well, it was summer" or "well, now we are starting school" or maybe... well never mind, you get the point. :) So, I put together a little survey and I would love if you could take 5 minutes and fill it out to let me know what you think of my blog and what I should post about.

Note: when you get to the second to last question, just press tab to get to the last one.


new header

With my header now on the sidebar, I got so excited about it (thanks again, Kendra) that I had to change. But you have my word of honor that I will not change it for 3 whole weeks. :)
