Eat Clean???


So Jim and I have been talking about changing some things about our eating. With his diabetes, it is important that he is taking care of himself although I suspect that his motivation is more about vanity than health. Whichever motivation is getting him to be more health conscious doesn't really matter to me, I am just happy that he will be my partner in this.

So the picture here is something that we are contemplating trying. I have been reading about Tosca Reno for awhile now in Oxygen Magazine. She seems pretty down to earth, and her food choices just make sense. I have a sneaking suspicion that I have been sick as long as I have because of poor nutrition. I haven't eaten really healthy in a long time. I am ready to detox my system and just feel better.

What I am most excited about is how on board Nate is...he is super excited to eat a lot more healthy. He has decided to give up sugary cereals and chips. How cool is that?! We are not going cold turkey. That doesn't work for Jim. What we are planning on is incorporating one of her tips/rules per week. This week: no restaurant food! This will help our finances as well as our bodies!

Anyway this is something that I am really excited about especially since it is a family affair. This isn't just me on a diet. This is making my whole family healthy and poised to live strong, healthy lives!
