June has arrived!
We have reached midpoint of 2026!
Now is a good time to evaluate those goals and make sure the road we’re on is leading us in the right direction towards accomplishing the goals and dreams set at the beginning of the year.
Last month before my wife and I went on our 26 year anniversary trip, I had a physical checkup with the Dr. Discovered that my blood pressure was a little high. Well, more than a little high. How could this be? After all that exercise and clean eating, how could my blood pressure be high I asked myself. The next morning Ginny and I prayed, asking God to show us why the blood pressure was high and asked God to help us take better care of these bodies He has blessed us with. The answer came.
Salt!
After a thorough accounting of my daily nutritional habits, we discovered that my salt intake was way too high.
My fat intake as well. Too many whole eggs, nuts and anvacados.
Immediately, we threw away all the packaged, processed, quick foods in the pantry, fridge and freezer. Replacing them with real foods. Fresh fruits and vegtables. Lean meats and egg whites. Getting back to the basics, just as we had done earlier in our marriage but got a little lazy with so much quick healthy food marketing out there. As Jack Lalanne always said, “If man made it, don’t eat it.” These foods are still processed, packaged and have a lot of salt. Since switching back to fresh real foods, eating out less and keeping an eye on sodium numbers, almost immediately, the blood pressure returned to normal ranges.
My wife and I made our anniversary trip a fitness vacation powered by Bible study, prayer, walking, tennis, clean eating, and plenty of sunshine. We returned home looking and feeling better than we left. Thank you Lord.
We want to encourage everyone to:
1- continue to PGF (Put God First) every day by meditating on the bible, praying and trusting Him each day.
2- make fitness, exercising and healthy eating a priority each day.
3- Keep working hard, preserving towards the goals and dream God has given you. He wants you to succeed so more people can be blessed through your life.
Keep the Faith!
Keep Grinding!
Be Strong!
Be Grateful!
Be Unstoppable!
God Bless You🙏
Stay Fit! 💪💪
