I found myself awake this morning with a new outlook on life. More determined. Positive. I'm no longer holding onto the negatives in my life that give me so much stress.
I'm going to be staying at my sister's apartment for a little while. And while I'm there I'm planning on making this my personal cleanse. Cleansing not only from the negativity but the bad foods (as I said I was going to do). Maybe take the time to look inward at myself and reconnect with my husband and my children as we should be doing everyday.
So before grocery shopping today I basically raided my pantries and refrigerator. I destroyed any items that could do anymore harm to my body. The dairies, the meats, the processed crap!
And then it was time to go on an adventure to the grocery store.
I took Liam with me. He's my helper.
Our food list was as follows:
-Strawberries
-Mangoes
-Raspberries
-Blueberries
-Oranges
-Grapes
-Lettuce
-Spinach
-Mixed Vegetables
-Rice
-Vegan Veggie Burgers
-Naked Smoothies
-Potatoes (Red and White- I LOVE POTATOES!)
....This list is going to be all we're eating for the next two weeks. Wish me luck!

Wake Up Call
It's been a stressful month. Between Rowan teething and Liam's temper tantrums, add on the late hours spent working (that's not a bad thing as I love my amazing co-workers/friends!) and the stress of family fighting I haven't been thinking much about my health. And you would think being a Certified Holistic Health Counselor would make me say to myself 'Hey! You need to get some sleep, eat better and get healthy!' But I haven't been listening.
Tonight while getting my very cranky, teething baby to sleep I started having chest pains. Ones that were so bad they scared me. I panicked and took a few aspirin but I can't sleep now. I keep thinking about how I let this happen. How I let my health get on the back burner in my life. Tonight was a wake up call that I'm refusing to ignore. Tomorrow morning, of course, I'm going to go to see my physician to make sure everything's alright in my body and that I haven't done any damage in there. And then after that, I'm going to start a fresh, strict diet of wholesome foods. I'll start with juicing to get the most nutritional benefit from my diet. Especially since I'm breastfeeding a growing eight month old and a growing four year old, I'll need to add on a bit to my diet at first and crowd out the bad things.
Tomorrow begins the rest of my life. Wish me luck.
