Health Nuts
So we have been a tad bit busy around here and one of the things that we have been attempting to hurdle is our health. In general we thought we were doing really great on the health matters around our house. However, we learned that we were failing miserably. Clay and I both went and had DBA's - Dried Blood Analysis done this past month. If you have never had this done we highly recommend it. It was like we were going to a fortune teller. She sat us down, asked us our name and squeezed some of our blood out onto a slide and looked at it under a microscope. As soon as she peered into the microscope she began to spout off all the problems and ailments that we have at this current time and have dealt with through the years. It was amazing. Apparently we have severe full body yeast issues, very acidic blood, tissue and saliva due to what we have been eating, and are very low in minerals. I'm also sensitive to wheat ( so all that personal wheat grinding here at the house that I thought was wonderful for me has been so terrible on my system). :) She loaded us up on supplements and some simple diet changes. Simple but hard all at the same time, no sugar, no bread, no yeast, no bad carbs after lunch. By diet, I mean a change of diet and behavior for the rest of our lives, not something that we do for just a bit and then go back to the way of eating. We have been doing this for roughly 3 weeks and feel great!! Better than I have felt in years and have lost around 7ish lbs already!!! On top of eating habits changing, we have both added some activity to our regimen. Clay had gone prior to visiting with this DBA lady and purchased a commuter bike for back and forth to work. He is commuting approximately 3 times a week to work and home. It is about a 25 mile ride round trip. He is LOVING it!!! And has lost a good amount of weight as well. I have joined our local gym and get there when I can to take some time for taking care of my self and watching a little mind numbing TV.
