Yesterday marks a new project beginning in my life. If any of you know really anything about me, I have a terrible habit of getting all excited about a new project, experience, hobby, etc for a short period...stay strong...and then just let it fall aside. I have done this more than once in my recent past. To name a few: purchasing my real estate books to get licensed, begin graduate school for counseling, train for a half marathon, become a biker to complete the MS150. That's just a small list...at least I did not go so far as to purchase a marathon bike!
All this to say, I have a new project. Though there is the slight bit of fear that I will get all pumped up and let it fizzle away in a few months, I do feel positive about it. I am aiming to become more healthful, participate in body cleanses, and eat more fresh, non-processed foods. As Travis' mom says, "If it is not from the ground, above the ground, or has a momma, we shouldn't be eating it." SO WISE AND WONDERFULLY PUT. I am on the lookout for a juicer to allow me to make drinkable meals with all the fresh, delicious produce this time of year provides. I must take-on the trend of Ebay for this task - one that I have avoided this long but must embrace now. Yikes!
This started yesterday because I had a Biofeedback (BF) session with Travis' mom, Shelly. If you have not heard of or personally experienced BF, please, do us both a favor and FIX that. The process is simple and yet so complex and genius. She straps on wires around your head, ankles, and wrists which then allow a machine to ask your brain millions and millions of questions. The answers reveal your body's composition, vitamin and mineral needs and excesses, and problem areas in your nutrition. She then goes further into the information, running more tests, to see exactly where the problem lies. Each human body is uniquely made by our wise and ever-loving Creator...a fact that is both wonderful and challenging as there is no right answer or method to healing one's body. Shelly helps her clients to understand their bodies' needs and how to feel better, be more healthful, and, thus, live a more full life.
After three hours of brain tests and discussing both my issues and how to make things better, I left feeling rejuvenated, inspired, and ready to begin the processes of cleansing my body and taking care of problems she found. My posts here on "My MARFAlous Life" will document both my issues and improvements as well as the health information I will be learning. I hope to cleanse myself both physically and emotionally throughout this new "project." A truly healthy and smart-living person would make this change permanently in their life - not just a phase or experiment. Let's hope I create and establish solid ways of eating and taking care of my body that will be carried throughout my life.
Don't worry though - I will still enjoy my vino, chips, and the deliciousness of life. Everything in moderation, as the healthful Shelly claims :)
