Make Bread For Yourself

No, I'm not going to tell you to make your own bread.

I am so incredibly excited about this healthy find I can hardly contain myself. If it's weird to be so enthused by a loaf of bread, I guess you better start calling me weird. Except for those of you who have been referring to me that way for quite awhile. You may just continue to do so.

I know, it just looks like a loaf of bread. But this stuff is awesome. It's called Ezekiel 4:9 bread because someone just happened to be reading Ezekiel 4:9 and instead of skimming over it and never thinking about it again like I have apparently always done with this verse - well, they decided to try it.

The verse reads "Take wheat and barley, beans and lentils, millet and spelt; put them in a storage jar and use them to make bread for yourself."

The Lord knows His bread. Not only does this bread have 4 grams of protein, 3 grams of fiber and 15 carbs (in 1 slice), it tastes really good. And God told the prophet to put it in a storage jar to let all of this goodness sprout before it became food, which apparently lets out some nutrition that wouldn't be there otherwise. It has my two thumbs up. I'd put another thumb up if I had one.

I found it at Trader Joe's. I'm assuming Whole Foods would have it as well.

As for my other health updates - I'm still on hold with the 30 day shred. I did some research and discovered that my feet are apparently flat and I "overpronate" when I walk. (Sorry if that was more information than you required.) It just means I turn my feet in too much when I walk which is probably why my $12 pair of worn out shoes were making my feet and knees hurt so much. I looked into the New Balance shoes that Corina suggested last week, and I feel really good about the ones I finally bought online. They are the New Balance 763, and I found them on sale at Kelly's Warehouse for $60. (Yes, very on sale, actually. Decent shoes are apparently worth a great deal more than I've been shelling out.)

So what's your story? Anyone else made any decisions to better their health this week? You're more likely to keep your commitments if you tell someone!

And just so you know, I've been ice cream-free for a few days! But don't ask if I've eaten after 10. Because I have. Every night.

SIGH.
