GETTING IT RIGHT FOR THE NEW YEAR!



   No! This is NOT a New Year's Resolution!
 
 
 It is an ongoing decision that I made more than a year ago to get fit, eat a nutritionally sound diet and be more active. You do know how those things go though.
 
 
Enter Bob McIntosh, my chiropractor at HealthSource Chiropractic of Spearfish, SD. Dr. Bob, as he is fondly called by all of his patients, is young enough to be my son, has a wicked sense of humor, but is also a truly caring person, who has the best interests of his patients at heart.
A while back my daughter, who is also a Dr. Bob groupie, and I went to a "Ladies Night Out" at the clinic and learned a bunch, as well as having a relaxing massage, an opportunity to have a really cheap blood panel drawn, and get all sorts of treats from vendors who had gathered.
 
However, that is not what this message is about---it is about health and wellness. Something that has been lacking in my life for a while. I started nearly two years ago in my goal of becoming more healthy. Not necessarily just losing weight, but getting healthy. My friend Faith Shuck and her TLS Slim program http://teamexcellencemlm.com/author/faith-shuck/ got the ball rolling and I actually lost about 25 pounds, started taking Isotonix Vitamins and have been feeling really good. Unfortunately, I didn't stick with it! Isn't that the way those resolutions always go?
 
Recently, at a consultation to go through my blood panel results, Dr. Bob got stern! "You need to manage your blood sugar levels better, you are in danger of being in full blown diabetes!" This was not the first time I had heard this. Then yesterday we went through the Health Risk Assessment which was a result of the blood panel and signing up for becoming involved in Wellness and Prevention Protocols. I had the fear of God put into me by Dr. Bob.
 
So, I am beginning again, or continuing, if you will, this journey toward good health. I want to be able to really enjoy life, get involved in physical activities and add to the positive outlook on life. See you later---gotta go WALK!
