Why I am doing this.....

Documenting my journey keeps me honest and focused.

Getting emails like this from someone I never met (in person) is also pretty awesome:

"You’ve got me hooked… I’m not 100% “clean” but for the most part my recipes are clean. I’ve been researching clean recipes and I just can’t get enough. I’ve made your black-eyed pea salad, (Furla’s) polenta lasagna and I drink a smoothie every morning. I’m now obsessed with clean eating blogs and my philosophy of “you have to have meat to make it a meal” has completely changed. I’m the one who posted that I lost 15 pounds in a month but it’s actually only been just over 3 weeks. I don’t calculate my daily calorie intake but I know every day I’m satisfied and I’m eating really tasty foods. My cravings for junk are gone and I’m now craving veggies instead.

Thank you for all your help and the wonderful info you have on your blog."

To all of my friends that are reading this that have either committed to a healthier lifestyle and to the ones thinking about it....You can do eet! The reward is worth the effort. Let's support each other.
