August 3, 2012 - We Need Each Other

I bring you greetings from sunny and HOT Destin. Some of the towns we traveled through yesterday were 105. :) I tried to take the girls for a walk this morning and after 15 minutes we were sweating and the girls wanted to come inside before Teree's doctor's visit. This afternoon, maybe the breeze will begin and it will be cooler. :) Congrats to Deena for creating a yummy granola that is sugar free. At our meeting Sunday, we spoke of needing something to go in our new sugar free Greek yogurt recipes and something else to eat for breakfast. Deena took on the challenge. And it turned out really good! I like mine a little sweeter, but Teree and I used the granola, 2% milk and fresh blueberries for breakfast. YUM!!!! At mom's on Monday, I took the Chobani yogurt, added a couple of teaspoons of xylitol and fresh, diced peaches. I put it back in the fridge so the flavors could blend for 30-40 min - OMGoodness - so yummy! Isn't it great to help each other? We need each other's creative minds to survive on this health journey. And could I say - I am grateful to be with people who are human - fail, try again, recreate and never give up. If you are thinking the future is LONG and there's no way you can live without starch or sugar - think again. You're in a group of people who are freedom fighters. :) How about you - got any cool recipes or tricks to share? Bounce us back. I was getting bored and now FIRED UP again. Choose to eat healthy today - your cells say, "Thank you!" PK
