New Year is here

January 1, 2014!  The new year is here!  I'm so ready to do this lifestyle overhaul thing.  My husband Tony and I ate burgers from McDonalds last night.  Probably for the last time, at least for me.  And, honestly, it didn't taste that good.  And I felt gross afterward.  I take that as a good sign that I'm ready to be done with junk food and bad eating.

Right now I have bone broth simmering on the stove.  Started my day with a shake made in my Nutri-bullet consisting of an apple, a pear, two carrots, some Kale, half of a cucumber (all organic), some organic pure cherry juice and a little coconut milk.  Tonight will probably bone broth and a big salad. I found a recipe for salad dressing made from avocado, apple cider vinegar, purified water, coconut oil and grated ginger all blended in a food processor.  I'm curious to see how this tastes.  I'm also taking Omega XL and L-glutamine pills.  And an organic multi-vitamin.  Waiting for my oil of oregano to come in the mail.

 I probably won't necessarily blog every day what I'm eating.  But maybe the first week so I can document how I'm feeling.  I did take my meds yesterday, I need to wean off of them instead of going cold turkey.  And wait until my body starts healing. 

Last night was probably the worst I have felt in a long time. (hmm.. maybe the McDonalds?) so I think it can only go up from here. My weight and blood pressure are up. My elbows are flared and tender, the rest of my body just feels stiff and sore.  I think I'm paying for all the "last" things I wanted to eat before starting this.  You would think "pain vs. ice cream" should be a no brainer decision.  You would think.

Happy New Year to everyone out there.  Here's to everyone having a healthy, joyful 2014!
