I’m thrilled that so many are joining me for the April Health Challenge! We’ve been chatting this week and I’ve been so encouraged to hear the variety of healthy choices all of you are making.
Take note! No one is trying to change everything at the same time. Each person is simply choosing something to focus on to do better. Isn’t that a breath of fresh air? You can do this!!
When I sent a message to all the Health Challenge Members, asking “What is one thing you’ve done for your health during the past 24 hours?” here are some of the responses I got:
- Ate a variety of fruits and vegetables at meals throughout the day.
- Rebounding on my cellerciser!!!!
- I walked on the treadmill (rainy day!) for 30 minutes.
- Took a nice, long (hour +) walk with 3 good friends. So we got exercise plus fellowship time :)
- I made time in my day to go for a run.
- Drinking more water!
- I made some meals for the freezer (from your Eat Right Away books ;-) ). No need for last minute Sonic stops after co-op. Yay!!
- No sugar today!
- I’m riding my bike with my almost 7 year old every day we can. She is good at reminding me.
- I got 7 hours of sleep!
The responses keep coming in and they are so encouraging! Everyone keep it up!

I’ve been resting all week (partly because I planned it and partly because I came down with a cold and didn’t have a choice). My main health focus this month is to rest and recover from a very busy winter. I aim to stay home as much as possible because my health very much depends on it.
We’re enjoying some amazing food this week – simply because real food tastes so incredibly good. Elias (age 14) has become an expert Strawberry Cheesecake Parfait maker. We’ve enjoyed Scrambled Cheesy Eggs with fresh fruit. We made Homemade Stir-and-Pour Bread this week. Cantaloupe is especially sweet right now. Homemade Guacamole is the finest way to eat an avocado.
I just can’t say enough about the joy and health benefit of eating simple, real food. Don’t make it hard. Just buy real food. Eat real food. Enjoy real food.

Speaking of Guacamole. I went to make your recipe today, and it’s been taken off your website! I was so sad because yours is the only guacamole I actually enjoy. I guess that’s what I get for not writing it down before. And also, Thank heavens for the internet archives way back machine! I’m not putting it on my priority list to write down this recipe!

Also, I love the idea of a month long health challenge! I’ll need to wait until Juneish though. We’ve just moved, and have no place of our own yet (can you say living with parents anyone?!). So as much as I love this idea, it absolutely has to wait. :(
