I’ve decided to tighten up on my diet habits by trying to eat more wholesome and natural food to get closer to what nature intended for us to eat! I decided that I don’t want to put any of the processed crap into my body anymore. No more chips, kielbasas, dry cereals, bread or milk. Basically, if I can’t buy it in its raw natural state, I won’t eat it!

My goals are to have more energy, feel better physically and hopefully loose a little weight. I have two little kids and I need as much energy as I can possibly master to keep up with them and the household, and maybe have a little extra left for things that I enjoy doing for myself. Health wise I don’t have much to complain about, but there is definitely room for improvement. I do get occasional colds and quite often I get cold sores inside my nose. My nails have become brittle and I was told by my dentist that I am loosing the gum bone. Both of these are more likely due to two pregnancies and the breastfeeding. As far as weight, ideally I would like to loose about 15 pounds, which would put me down to pre-kids weight.

So far it’s been a few days since I’ve started and I’m feeling good. I don’t have restrictions of how much I eat, just what I eat. My cravings have subsided, but I still do crave the ‘bad’ things. The worst time is when I have to feed them to my two-year old. It’s hard not to take a bite off of the peanut butter and jelly sandwich or take a sip of cold milk.
