Home again, home again, Jiggity Jig!!!!

I'm back!!! We've been in Arizona for awhile visiting relatives and watching some Spring training baseball. Not really a fan, but my honey is, so I tag along--zzzzzzzz. So good to be in my wholesome sea cottage sleeping in my own bed. It was so hot there too, so it feels nice to be back to Spring-like weather again--Summer comes soon enough.

On our 6-hour drive to Arizona, I was reading the first book of "The Zone" series called "Enter the Zone". I became acutely aware of how many unnessary carbs, fats and proteins I was eating and a light bulb went on--oh duh--that's why my stomach is having so much trouble handling all that. Since I've had stomach pain for awhile now, I was pleased to have been blessed with that "ah ha" moment that was like a big clue to what I think was the cause of the pain I was experiencing--too many carbs and calories in general equals inflammation and ill-health in general...

After a few days of following the rules of the Zone, I could feel a difference; less pain, less fatigue, better sleep, and a clearer head. It's been over a week now and it's a great feeling to know how much is enough and why we need what we need and nothing more. It's like having boundaries and how good it feels to know what they are.

I remember thinking when I was younger that when I leave home I could eat candy bars all day if I wanted to... I'm glad at home we had reasonable rules and guidelines and even warnings to "save room for supper". It makes sense to me that it is more healthy and logical to have boundaries in most areas in life. I'm so thankful to have found "the zone" books and really understand what I need to do to feel good.. Thank you, God...
