About Me

I am committing to losing 30 or more pounds.  It isn't actually about the weight loss.  This isn't a diet...this is a way of life.  I want to commit to healthy eating and eating habits.  Ones that will keep me healthy and dis-ease free for a long and happy life.  Ones that will give me vitality, vibrance, strength, and energy.

I want to feed my body to strive, not to just survive.

I know that feeding my body this way will create weight loss.  Along with the 5 days a week that I am now going to the gym, I should be in pants a few sizes smaller then they are at the moment before I know it.  I can squeeze uncomfortably into my size 9 pants...but they are far from flattering.  This will be a glorious moment when I can slip back into them...but it will take work and a lot of gentle and not so gentle reminders to myself as to why I shouldn't eat half of that block of cheese with those 2 bottles of red wine.  

I want to succeed and not have to start over again...and again...and again. 

Starting this blog and having a group of people watching my progress, commenting on the recipes I have been making, and supporting me, will insure that I stick to it.  I am sure it will.  I had many people following my raw food adventures on facebook after I had my second child.  It helped me get back to feeling like myself after gaining 60lbs with that pregnancy.  So thank you for being here with me and I hope that this journey inspires you to create a happy whole food life for yourself and your family as well!
