My husband did the Christmas Shopping today...and WANTED TO!
He was doing jumping jacks and running in place in the kitchen and asking how he could help me.
When we asked each other for our lists, we both decided that we really didn't want or need anything. We had already given each other the best gift ever by choosing to live well! We are turning back the clock with our decisions and looking forward to spending many, many more Christmas together.
My husband shared with me his blood pressure was down, I was puzzled because he hadn't been to the doctor to have it checked. He then told me that he had been checking it at a local store and it had come down 20 points.
I realized that he had been checking his blood pressure for some time, scared because he was approaching a dangerous level...
Next week he is having his vitals checked by a professional. What do you think they'll find?
When I asked my husband to do this with me, I thought it was just to support me. I found out the reason was so much bigger.
How Will We Survive The Holidays?
By changing old habits!
The reindeer poo I made for the kids is now organic, the treats I took for the Christmas party included a Fruit Christmas Tree and wrapped filled with turkey, ham, cheese. Instead of eating the candy my kids are getting as gifts we used it to decorate our gingerbread houses in our Annual Gingerbread contest.
Tomorrow will be have our first "none-traditional" holiday meal. Our family is respecting our diet and asked us to bring what we needed. We look forward to sharing our new lifestyle with them.
Are you holding on to habits because you like them? Need them? Or just never tried to change them?
Time for Change!
