Lesson 3 - God's Plan is for Your Freedom

So ladies, after reading Lesson 3 - are you ready for God's plan?
A few highlights that we covered in our meeting on Wed were:
- to stay away from the alchy's mantality thinking that he is the "free" one & that everyone else is so tied down by not being "able" to get drunk all the time. And that you aren't giving up anything by not damaging your body, to drink, smoke, do drungs.
- I personally, liked knowing that Lynora hasn't always been a "granola girl"
- many of us, underlined the comment " eating is not a trivial event for the billions upon billions of cells that constitute your being."
- we also underlined the comment " The reality is we are nto punished for our disobedience but BY our disobiednce.
- We read the story in Daniel 1:12 to about verse 15 ?
- We all agreed that WATER is very important & we all know now to drink 1/2 of our body weight in ounces each day.
- Lynora shares her story about what got make her listen about the nutrition and Juice Plus, because she was looking for help with her sons asthma and allergies. If you are interested or have any questions about Juice Plus capsuals (17 fruits, veggies and whole grains), or other Juice Plus products that she mentions - please let me know and I will get you some information.
- pg 3.10 and 3.11 are great pictures to make her points of what caloric denisty and satiation really means.

We did do our calculate the calories per pound for a few of our favorite foods. Finding that rice cakes and a health bar - were better than crackers and even cherrios. The equation to find the calories per pound is
Calories X servings \ ounces in total package X 16 ounces = calories per lb

This also helps us think about WHY the graphs mentioned above make so much sense. Where even though the calories may be low, those are the items that fill and satisfy our tummies. Less calories are better for you- hee hee did you know that? :) I know that might be a new thing to you, BUT worry we aren't about to start counting single calories. (as far as I know) but it is a great reminder of what meat, dairy and oils do carry- lots of calories.

If you haven't checked out the Discussion Questions, please do and feel free to answer the questions and email them to me, if you would like to share them with the group. :)
