a new beginning.

I am recommitting to this journal. I am recommitting to a healthy life.
I started this thing last year when I made the connection between gluten and my various ailments. I then proceeded to jump on and off of the "stop eating junk" bandwagon...needless to say, the weight continued to fluctuate and the migraines and illnesses continued to put a damper on my daily routine. Oh, and I'm still not pregnant :(
But I am DONE with all that mess. For real this time.
I made a vow to myself that I would give up all sodas and fast "food" for the entire month of September, (just to prove to myself that I can do this) and here I am, 8 days in with complete success. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty proud. 8 days might not sound like very long to you, but trust me, it is.
When I first started this journal/blog my weight sat firmly at 178. On my relatively petite frame. UGH.
In my laziness this past year, it has gone down and back up and down again so many times, I stopped keeping track. It is now going down little by little and as of this morning it sits at 169.8. That is HUGE.

I also have a new obsession. Epigenetics
I am currently reading Deep Nutrition: Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food by Catherine and Luke Shanahan and seriously- cant. put. it. down.
If you've never heard of epigenetics, do yourself a favor, click the link above and do a little research...and then follow along with me as I change "me" into the healthiest, happiest, most radiant version of myself possible.
From this moment on, no more pity parties- only science, experiments, good, wholesome, real food and results.
