..lookin for love in too many faces.. That's the song that is stuck in my head this morning for some reason. Last night we had a Family Home Evening on eating good foods. I cooked some chicken, pasta, green beans and corn. Then I cut up apples, oranges, bananas, cucumber and carrots and placed all of them on the table. I also got out our butter, margarine, olive oil and spray "I can't believe it's not butter" and we talked about good fats vs. bad fats and how our body does need fat, but not a lot of it. We talked about our car and how it needs the right kind of fuel for it to work right and how if we put the wrong fuel in it, the engine would break and our van wouldn't be able to work. I then turned the van into our bodies and when we give our bodies the right "fuel" we can run and play and our skin and hair are healthier and our bodies will be able to work good. BUT, if we put the bad kind of fuel in our bodies, they might seem like they are working okay for a little bit, but pretty soon our "parts" will shut down and stop working so we couldn't run and play or our "engine"(our heart) could stop and then we would die. Then we let the kids eat all of the good foods on the table and we had them tell one thing that they loved about their bodies. I even did it too! I love my hair and my freckles...I know, I need to work on loving my own body more. I am just proud that I accomplished every single goal I set for yesterday!
Goals for today: _read scriptures -finish folding laundry and put it away -clean up the studio -teach dance today -cook my turkey for dinner -gym(check!)

ReplyDeleteGood luck. You seem so much more positive and energetic lately. I know it's a hard thing to hold onto when you're in such a frustrating experience but you sound great!!
