Whats Organic?

Organic is a word we see every where. Its a popular! I like it. When I see organic written on something I want to buy it, mostly because I feel cool. I would watch the lady at the grocery store get all her organic stuff and think wow she rocks. I wish I bought organically. HA.

I honestly didn't have any concept of what it meant to buy organically. A friend of mine enlightened me. Her family read an awesome book called "Maximize your living". After reading this book they choose to start eating organically. That includes meats, veggies, as much as possible. I was inspired by their life change and by the way my lovely friend was starting to look. (Not that she didn't look amazing before) She dropped her baby weight like no problem and I was so jealous. She was shrinking and I was eating!!! (Everything)

Watching her stirred my passion on to eating healthy and living a better life. Richard is in the process of becoming a police officer. Its a long process one that requires being dedicated to healthy living. Working out eating healthy, yada yada. It was something our family really needed!!!
It was almost a conviction! We so wanted our kids to grow up with good healthy food ones not sitting in a can or a box for years, processed with I don't even know what!!! Meat that has had so many awful things happen to it before we even put it in our mouth.

We have begun. Its not easy and its not cheap. Rich still isn't working so we have had to make slow transitions. Like watching food labels and pectides levels in our food. Watching our carbs and switching to Stevia Xlityol or raw honey.When we get the opportunity we try and get meats from Heritage meats. Its so much yummier !!! learning about the fats we eat, Good and bad! Theres good fats I promise and i relish in them!! (Grin)

I can honestly say even for Richard we have never felt better! I have now lost almost 11 pounds in 3 weeks and rich through dedication has lost 20! He looks so hot!!!! I have never felt better in my life. I have definitely Gone through sugar withdraws. Its such an addiction. And we cheat often its part of a balanced life. I think! And those days are glorious.

Its been such an awesome life change for us, And for Annika! What we put in our bodies does matter.

A phrase I keep saying to my self and its not new its old and over said I'm sure but helps me out alot.

I EAT to LIVE not LIVE to EAT!!!!

Awesome hope you enjoy what the Nicolles are up to.

Cheers to living Organically!
