Battling a Virus without Using Antibiotics

This week I have been battling a virus with sinus and coughing.  Dr. Baker has kept me adjusted to help me fight this off naturally with my immune system.

I told Dr. Baker I would normally have gone to the medical doctor for an antibiotic but have since learned from Dr. Baker’s wellness education meetings that antibiotics have adverse reactions on your body.  He also told us that God made our bodies to be self healers.  I am on the mend and hopefully I can fight this off soon.

I can report a weight loss of .6 pounds this week!  Since I hit a plateau this is the best I have been able to report.  I hope this is my body saying it is ready to start dropping weight again.

You can pray for me to this affect.  Thank you, for reading my blog and have a blessed week!

Will-Power During the Holidays!

This week has been a good week.  With all the temptations of Christmas treats, I can gladly say I didn’t give in.  I was faced with a platter of my sister-in-law’s homemade specialty candies and cookies that I have eaten for about 40 years. I thought about eating one piece ( I haven’t had anything like that in over a year), but I backed away and didn’t give it.  I look at that as a huge victory.

I can report a slight loss of .2 pounds this week.  I have been planning my work out programs and possibly changing even more in my eating plan which will be made easier by the kind gift Gayle from Baker Chiropractic gave me as a generous gift for Christmas.  She gave me the unbelievable gift of a Nutri-Bullet that will make it easy to make protein shakes and healthy smoothies.  This gives me a new tool that will make my meals more nutrient absorbent.

Thanks, Gayle.

Happy New Year to everyone!

Merry Christmas!

This week has been a blessed week getting to spend time babysitting my grandchildren.

My exercise has been good (as a matter of fact I feel asleep sitting up at 7:15 pm one evening).  My eating plan has also gone well.

I am trying cut down on my last few prescription medications. I cut more of my fluid pill down, but the next day I gained two pounds and have stayed the same “exact weight” all week.  So I guess my body will have to level out and get use to the change.

Until next week, I hope everyone has a happy, healthy and safe Christmas!  May God Bless Us All.

Please Pray for the Parents and Adults Who Lost Their Loved Ones in Connecticut

I hope this finds everyone in the hustle and bustle that only the Christmas season can bring.  The joy that it does bring is immeasurable.

My week went well.  Continued on with my exercise program and added more weight to each machine.  Could feel the extra weight in my sore muscles!  My eating plan also went well this week.  Of course, Dr. Baker’s chiropractic adjustments were excellent as usual. They make it possible to exercise, eat right and lose weight.

I can report a .2 loss this week.  People kept telling me I would slow down on my weight loss, but I didn’t believe them.  I am still very happy with the loss and just think if only .2 a week that means about another whole pound in a month.  Another pound I do not have to carry around is a welcome gift indeed.

May God give you peace and joy and please pray for the parents and adults who lost their loved ones in Connecticut.

Counting My Blessing this Christmas Season

Greetings everyone.  I hope this finds you all having a wonderful Christmas season!

I can report my stomach is much better thanks to Dr. Baker’s chiropractic adjustments and guidance.  I told Gayle at Baker Chiropractic that I think I would be dead now if it weren’t for Baker Chiropractor and Wellness.  My health had deteriorated so badly that I was going down hill fast. Then, Dr. Baker came to my aid with his Life Call Program. It is that and more that I am here today.

I babysat my three little grandchildren 5, 2, and 1 last evening and had the best time!  I know I would not have been able to do that a year ago.  I am so blessed to have Baker Chiropractic in my life.

Wishing you and yours the most blessed Christmas ever.

This Week Marks One Year on My LifeCall Journey!

If someone would have told me I would be 70 pounds lighter in 1 year, I would not have believed them!  It is still difficult to believe the blessings that I have had in the past year.

I had tried to lose weight and keep it off for 30 years and had given up.  Until I walked into the office of Baker Chiropractic and Wellness one day.  I just felt a strong leading from the Lord to stop in without an appointment. They took me right into this bustling busy office just like I belonged there.  The rest is history.

After a few weeks, Dr. Paul Baker said I had the opportunity to be in his LifeCall program!  With a grateful heart I took on the challenge.  It hasn’t been easy, but it has been very rewarding.  Dr. Paul had such faith in me.  Much more than I did in myself and together we did it!

Praise the Lord for His guidance that day when I walked into Baker Chiropractic.  My journey is a lifelong one to better health but as I have said many times before, “Thank You, Baker Chiropractic,” for changing my life!

These 5 Essentials Are Keys to Living a Life of Health and Wellness

I cannot report a weight loss for this week but I can report much better health.  My stomach is much better.  I have been able to work out several times this week and I am feeling much better, thank the Lord.

My weight is staying steady and with working out more, it will continue to go down.  Thank you, Dr. Baker and Baker Chiropractor for your kind care through my health issues.

Chiropractic care is the body healing itself naturally when it is given the tools it needs.  These tools were refreshed in my mind in one of Dr. Baker’s monthly classes to help educate us in a healthy way of life.  We can avoid many illnesses by using the simple wellness steps he instructs us to use.  My favorite thing that I learned this week is the, “Don’t get it”, philosophy.  The keys to this philosophy are:  A Maximized mind by staying positive in your thoughts.  A maximized nervous system by regular chiropractic care.  Maximized nutrition by eating organic whole foods and avoiding toxic foods like refined sugar and flour.  A maximized body by getting daily exercise to keep an adequate oxygen supply to the muscles.  Lastly, minimize toxins encountered in personal body care products and household cleaners.

I hope everyone will keep these wellness tips in mind and have a healthy happy week.

Struggling with Health Issues and Weight Loss

My stomach continues to heal this week.  Thank you Dr. Baker and Baker Chiropractic for the continued care to help my body heal itself.

I have only walked this week because of inflamed joints and I think it is finally catching up with me.  I have been self medicating my stomach by eating too much as well. All this has resulted in a 3 pound weight gain for the week.

My plan this week is to work out more and reduce the food intake. I know from Dr. Baker’s teaching that will give me the results I need to stay on the road to weight loss and better health.

I hope everyone has a blessed week.

Moving Past the Health Issues, Getting Focused on Weight Loss

This week has been a good week!

My stomach is finally beginning to heal.  My arthritis is still troublesome, but  I am hoping that it will get better with the supplements I am taking.  I did a lot of walking this week during the day. My scale was exactly the same as it was last week, so no weight change for the week.  I sometimes think it might be malfunctioning, but it does change throughout the week.I am praising God for no weight gain this week as I haven’t been able to get any good workouts in other than the walking.

It is still difficult to believe I have lost over 70 pounds in 49 weeks.  More than I could ever have imagined.

Thank you, Dr. Paul Baker and Baker Chiropractic and Wellness!

Support and Encouragement Are Needed with Weight Loss Efforts and Health Issues

This week was difficult.  My stomach wasn’t doing well. When my ulcer made it’s appearance that meant I could no longer take my arthritis medicine, so I have been in a lot of pain.  The roots to my teeth even hurt!

I have only worked out once this week. Besides for some walking, I have found it too difficult to do my workouts.  I have started on some supplements that will hopefully help ease some of my pain.  I also have had to keep something in my stomach nearly every waking hour because of the ulcer, so I have a gain of 0.4 pounds this week. Believe it or not,  I consider it a blessing that I have not gained more weight.

I tried a raw vegetable sandwich and it did OK in my stomach, so that gave me a little brighter outlook.

Dr. Paul Baker at Baker Chiropractic and Wellness has been very encouraging. If it wasn’t for his great chiropractic care and adjustments, I don’t know how I would have made it these past few weeks.

Thanks, Baker Chiropractic for your support and compassionate care!
