Did you know
that fitness and nutrition go hand in hand? It’s like a marriage, they work
better together. I have heard this often, but it has been a challenge to get
the nutrition aspect together.
If you want
to accomplish something bad enough, you have to make a change. A friend of mine
always says, “Nothing changes, until something changes.” The time is now to
focus on improving your health.
For fear of
being called a hypocrite, I am taking my own advice. I have joined a group of
women at the fitness gym, who are taking on a nutrition challenge. Our trainer
has identified a meal plan for us to follow for the next eight weeks.
One of the
items on our list of nutritional foods is Ezekiel bread. Several of the ladies
raved over this item. When I first heard the name, I unclear as to what was
being said, so I repeated it, “EZee Key-o?” No that wasn’t it. Then it finally
clicked. Ezekiel.
I’m no
proficient Bible scholar, but I make an effort to keep learning. I know Ezekiel
was a prophet from the Bible. Anyway, I went to the grocery store in search of
the bread named after the prophet. It didn’t take long for me to find it in the
organic section.
As I looked
at the price posted just below the bread, I had to readjust my glasses…$5.99? Is
it me, or does it seem like it’s more expensive to eat healthy? Several odd
questions popped in my head, as they sometimes do.
Does this bread cost more because it comes with a scripture?
“Thou shalt eat healthy.”
Is Ezekiel bread like the fortune cookie of the Bible, with a
message included?
Are Martha and Mary coming to my house to help serve this
bread?
If you have
decided to make fitness and nutrition a regular part of your life, start now.
Have fun with it and don’t give up.

way to fail is to give up.” Susan

It may cost
a little more to eat healthy, but the ultimate results are worth it. Make a
change for self-improvement.
