This Week's (really last week's) News Roundup

Posted by Jill McLaughlin on Feb 05, 2012

Yesterday was my husband’s birthday. We had a wonderful day together (no working!) and a lovely evening with his parents the night before. But today, I’m feeling kinda guilty because I’m not proud of what I put in my mouth yesterday. Wanna know? I’ll tell ya…a donut, nachos, and pizza. And I had a Mr. Pibb. That’s right.The donut and pizza were gluten free (if you know me, you know this is a given), and the nachos were from Bryant Lake Bowl, a Twin Cities restaurant that does one of the darn best jobs sourcing sustainably (hormone-free cheese, non-GMO chips, etc.). But still …

Anyway, on with the good word from last week…

“You can sit there forever, lamenting about how bad you’ve been, feeling guilty until you die, and not one tiny slice of that guilt will do anything to change a single thing in the past. Forgive yourself, then move on.” – Dr. Wayne Dyer

Here they are…last week’s words of wisdom. At least some of them. There are so many, I can’t post ‘em all! I love doing this…

“Blood sugar control is more important at preventing heart disease than cholesterol EVER was!!!” – Dr. Christiane Northrup

“The culture of conventional medical training resembles that of an alcoholic family system – rife with unhealthy denial and shame.” – Dr. Christiane Northrup

How was everyone’s week? Mine has been really good. Fast. It went by very fast. Here is the good food word for this week. Have a great weekend, everyone.

“This week try writing yourself a prescription to say ‘No.’ Use it the next time someone asks you to do something you’d really rather not do. Imagine that I, your health-care practitioner, or someone else concerned with your well-being, has prescribed this “no” for you- and then use the time to do something that makes you happy.” - Marcelle Pick

“Diabetes begins YEARS and YEARS before someone actually gets diagnosed with it. Unabated stress of ALL kinds will raise blood sugar, even on a low calorie, low sugar diet.” – Dr. Christiane Northrup

Here is the word for this second week of January, 2012.

“The default choices in our society encourage an unhealthy lifestyle. The cheapest, convenient and more accessible meals are usually the ones depleted of any nutritional value, and full of sugar, bad fats and chemicals. Therefore living a healthy lifestyle requires us to be proactive about making decisions that provide nourishment to our systems. It’s the small choices we make on a daily basis that make a huge difference.” Dr. Frank Lipman

“If you’re an artist, a leader or someone seeking to make a difference, the first thing you do should be to lay tracks to accomplish your goals, not to hear how others have reacted/responded/insisted to what happened yesterday.” – Seth Godin

Hi folks. I guess I should have called this “This Month’s News Roundup” or maybe “The Last Two Months’ News Roundup.” It’s been a while, I know. But I’m back and I’m on it.

“I am amazed at how the smartest people don’t make the connections between what they eat, how they live, and how they feel.” – Dr. Mark Hyman

“How do you know how much you should weigh? Really - how do you know? Do you REALLY know?” – Marc David
