Quote Worthy

"Don't put off until tomorrow what you can do today." ~Jack LaLanne

Last week Mike had 'Parker Seminars'. Jack LaLanne was one of the speakers for the event. For those of you who don't know Jack is not only the guru of health and wellness, but is also a chiropractor. He set a record at the age of 60 doing 1,000 push ups and chin ups consecutively. (I was a little jealous that Mike got to hear him speak.) He has a ton of wisdom! On Friday, Mike got to go to Jack LaLanne's birthday party. He turned 94! I think that it is so amazing that he is in such great shape. I aspire to be like that at 94. Taking walks or jogs with the great, great grandchildren is something I look forward to. Maybe even a little swingfest too, Heather!:)

EXCITING NEWS!!!!

1. My cousin, Jessica, is engaged to be married in December! Congrats, Jess! We are so excited for you, and can't wait to meet him!



2. My dad finished his detox last week, and his results are amazing! He did lose weight, 16 lbs. to be exact, but most importantly he brought his blood pressure way down. The morning of his last day on the detox his blood pressure was 108/80 with a heart rate of 61 beats per minute. (That's better than most 20 year olds.) Dad, we are extremely proud of you and your hard work! Mom, we're rooting for you now!

So Proud. . .

I have to share this story from school. On Monday, we were talking about money in math. We were discussing the presidents on the coins. My kids knew who was on the penny and nickel, but were a little stumped when it came to the dime. Needless to say, I got some "creative" guesses. The guess that cracked me up the most was. . . . . George Clooney! At that moment all I could think of was how proud I was that my class knows their celebrities, but not their presidents. I can't lie, though. I did laugh even though I tried not to. :)

Can you see the resemblance??

Detox #2 Update

Since my experience with Standard Process' detoxification program went so well, I talked my husband into trying it for himself. He's done so great on it! Today is his last day. His experience has been just as good, if not better, than mine. He has more energy, mental focus (which is HUGE since he studies a lot), and is sleeping better than he did before. He's also lost 15 lbs.! I know. . . he didn't need to lose ANY, but he feels great. And no, he doesn't look Ethiopian! He's still got big muscles!!! Babe, you're still ripped!!

Some other family members are also trying out the detox. My dad is currently doing it. In the first seven days, he's lost 10lbs. But, even more awesome than that, within the first two full days of the detox, his blood pressure came down 15 points!!! It's just amazing to me what cleaning out your body can do! I'll keep you updated on his detox when he finishes.

We're so excited about how this detox is so affective, and how it's not harsh. We will definately be using it our practice! It'll do awesome things for our patient's all around health, as well as, help the body hold adjustments longer!

Southwestern Spinach Salad

Ingredients: 1/2 cup picante sauce or homemade salsa

1/4 cup Italian vinaigrette salad dressing

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

4 - 41/2 cups fresh baby spinach

1 (15 oz.) can black beans, rinsed and drained

1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms

1 medium red bell pepper, julienned

1/2 cup sliced red onion

8 turkey bacon strips, cooked and crumbled

4 hard boiled eggs, sliced

Directions: Combine the picante sauce, salad dressing, and cumin in a small bowl. In a salad bowl, combine spinach, beans, mushrooms, bell pepper, onion, and bacon. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Garnish with egg slices.

This recipe is soooo good! I came across it this summer when I was looking for some healthier recipes to try at home. Mike and I liked it so much, we ate it four nights in a row for dinner. It's really, really yummy! I wasn't able to eat it while I was on my detox because your not allowed to have regular salad dressing or picante sauce (due to salt), but I did eat it afterwards. I do have to say it's becoming one of my favs. It'll suprise your taste buds, it's easy to make, and there's hardly any clean up! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Happy taste testing!
