Today is Day 3 of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) 21 Day Kickstart. Although it is still early I’m feeling much better than the first two days. The week between Christmas and New Years was a busy week filled with grab and go yumminess. We had Starbucks 4 times (that is about how many I get Starbucks in a typical year) and ate out almost daily. I would order “better” options but the food at restaurants is just not as good for you as the food you’ll have at home. I wasn’t as concerned about what I ate since I knew the kickstart was coming up on January 2nd. Let’s just say there has been some detox going on here.

The 21 Day Kickstart is 21 days of eating a whole food vegan diet. We eliminate animal products, oil, and a lot of processed food like white sugar and flour.

I’m starting my first blog to chronicle my family’s journey to a plant based diet. We began this journey in the Fall of 2011. My husband and I both lost weight and felt much better. I hope to encourage others to adopt this life style and take charge of their health. I’m not really a writer but I am passionate about being a wife and mother. By adopting a plant based life style I feel like we are being better stewards of this body we’ve been given.

I dare you to join me in taking back your health and your family’s health.

Happy New Year!
