Sugar

You know when I quit smoking I changed my drug of choice to sugar instead of nicotine.

Sugar is a carb, carbs raise insulin levels, studies now show that insulin and insulin like growth hormone promotes tumor growth, it appears that 80% of all cancers
are driven by elevated levels of insulin and igh.


WOW!!!!!

Children learn what they live...

Somtimes they learn what to do, sometimes they learn what not to do. They always watch you and learn as they do.

So what are you doing to raise a child?


How do you influence their lives?

"The suffering which springs from being “a meddler in other men’s matters” (a busy-body) is humiliating to the last degree. A free translation of 1 Thessalonians 4:11 might well read, “Study to shut up and mind your own business” and among all the texts we hang on our wall let this be one." Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)

Message

This is from some kind of ap that is called message from god.
If I knew how I would link but don't know how to do it, so I posted this thinking we all could use it right now.


"On this day, God wants you to know
... that you will get back to solving all the wrongs in a moment, - how about taking a moment to treasure what is right. All too often we focus so intently on solving the problems, that we forget to zoom out and celebrate what is good in our life already."

If you don't know it really is all up to God.

Count Your Blessings!

How are you using your blessings! Are you just appreciating them.

If you really want to show God how thankful you are for the blessings he provides you, you need to use your blessings to continue Gods work, glorify his word.

My Plate again.

Jillian Michaels can sometime be in your face type of person, but she does know her food and nutrition along with fitness.

Check out her article on the new food plate, it is long but very informative.

Why?

Why do we allow the negatives to effect our life?
Media-If the music you listen to or the TV shows/movies you watch have a bad impact on your life, in any way, turn them OFF. If they are not pleasing to God and are not spiritually feeding your soul, then why do you listen to or watch them? Because you always have? Because you haven't noticed the negative impact they're leaving on you or your family?

Everything we watch on tv, everything and one we come into contact with effects us, are you allowing the negatives to overtake the postives.

How do you effect others, are you giving them what they need? Is it really your job to show them how wrong they are?

God will take care of them you don't need too. Everytime you give a negative response it takes 30 positives to make up for it.

Just because you have mastered it, went through it, had it worse or better, doesn't mean its relative to them.
Let them talk, say a prayer for them, say a prayer that you will say and be a positive in their life today.

Proverbs 31:26 "She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of kindness."

Time

Be careful what you ask for in prayer! God does answer prayers.

Don't pray for more time to finish a project, pray for being able to finish a project in the time alloted.


Just saying.

Electronics!

What the heck did we do before cell phones?
When did it become acceptable to disconnect to the people you are with and show more respect for a piece of plastic with a few electronic parts?
How do you think it makes people feel when you don't answer when they call but when you are with them they answer or text everything that comes there way.

How hard is it to turn on to vibrate and check every hour or so.
We don't need to be in control 24/7. People can survive without us for a bit.

How about allowing you children to carry their electronics everywhere there is. Bright lights in theaters, dance recitals, ect. They can set for a few without being connected to their ds.

We are addicted, we are allowing our children to become addicted. We are encouraging it, using it as a babysitter, so we don't have to teach them to behave in social situations.

It's not a contest to see who is more popular, who can have the most texts.

And because it is happening doesn't make it okay.

My Food Plate vs Deb's Food Plate

What do you think about the new compaign?

I do think they are getting it more right, but the grain portion is still too large, seperating fruit and veggies was good, but we don't need three servings of fruit per day, and it would be better if we would consider the fruit portion for dessert, so we could stop thinking we need that little something of sugar after we eat.

Okay my take is:

1/2 of your plate veggies, preferably green veggies, low calorie veggies ect. It doesn't have to be the same, mix it up. A cup of salad and aspargus. Coleslaw and a serving of green beans. Remember that corn, beets, peas are starchy so eat them less often, or smaller portions. But still eat them if you like them.
Potatoes, carrots, sweet potatoes yes are starchy also, but use them in place of grains, they have plenty of nutrition in them.
3-5 oz of protein.
1/2 cup of rice, 1 piece of bread or 1 cup of cooked pasta.

Eat an apple or pear for mid afternoon snack and add a yogurt with berries for evening desert.

Remember fat is good for you, just eat the right amount. And always add fat to you grains and your veggies, you don't assimilate the nutrients with out it.

But that salad doesn't need 1/2 cup of dressing, a couple teaspoons of flavorful dressing with surfice, and if that dressing is made with franken oils it is not helping you but depriving you of getting the nutrients.

If you don't get the nutrients you need you will have cravings and you will overeat.

Get your body back on track, help it acheive it's best ever.

Who's in control?

Seen this on facebook today.


GOD DOESNT GIVE US WHAT WE CAN HANDLE, GOD HELPS US HANDLE WHAT WE ARE GIVEN. HAVE A GREAT DAY

Young People

How do you handle the entitled young adults you have to be around today.

Do yours have no attachment to anything, even thoughts?

Do they make plans, set goals when deciding on their future or just fly by the seat of their pants?

Complain about something one second, love it the next.
Do you rescue them when their plans go astray?

Think maybe I need to stop reading facebook.
