I exercised today. Totally. I exercised my buttocks for 6 hours on the 4 wheeler. That counts doesn't it? We went 4 wheeling up our favorite canyon to see the fall colors. We were not disappointed at all. It was amazing. It was so cool to pull out the hot apple juice at the top of a beautiful mountain in the crisp air and drink. Apples and fall go hand in hand don't they? We got home just barely in time for me to shower and do the hair to go with Amanda and Alisha to Womens Conference at Amanda's stake. They had the potato bar and lettuce salad. I am not a fan of iceberg lettuce, but it was still healthy. The wheat and bean chili was really good. They were showing us what can be made out of our food storage. I know I did not get enough water to drink today and I am so thirsty tonight. I resisted the dessert table and didn't feel deprived at all.

Helpful Hints that I found work for me
1- I try to make 50% of the food I eat each day raw fruits and vegetables. Most of this comes in the green smoothies and lettuce salads.
2- Eat only foods made with whole grains. Stay away from processed foods like white flour and white sugar.
3- Do not drink anything with your meals. Try not to drink at least 15 minutes before either. The body seems to absorb and use the food better without being diluted with liquid. I even take my pills with food now instead of liquid.
4- Exercise, exercise, exercise. Do something that gets your heart rate up. Doing it with someone else makes it more enjoyable and encourages you to keep at it.
5- Get out in the sunshine. Take a walk, rake some leaves, read a book, just do something. It is amazing how much better you feel after 30 minutes in the sun and fresh air.
6- Drink plenty of water. A good general rule is 1/2 your body weight in ounces. If you weigh 120 pounds, you should drink 60 oz of water.
