EATING FOR THREE

Thanks to those who have posted comments with recipes and ideas to help others have a successful 30 Day Fitness Challenge. The email and phone calls have just been overwhelming in terms of the people who are excited about these next thirty days. They say "if you do something for 21 days that it becomes a habit". So hopefully for us all that after these 30 days that habits will be developed in our lives that will be sustained after the challenge is over.

Dr. Ben Lerner in his book BODY BY GOD said pregnant women often will say they are "eating for two." All of us should actually be eating for three! We are eating for ourselves. (for our personal health and nutrition) We are eating for those around us. (We are passing a legacy on to our children and family by the nutritional habits we model) We are eating for God. (As Paul said, "we should be honoring God with our body")

So the next time someone says, "why are you eating healthy?" Just say I am eating for three.
