I am starting this blog to share my journey in my attempt to eat completely right. I will be sharing what I learn about organic foods, whole foods and eating healthy in general. My initial challenge to myself is set for a 60 day period. Why 60 days... Well, I figure 30 is too short, and in all honesty 90 might be too long. I hope I will be able to make it a way of life. But it will be very hard, so for now I am committing to a full 60 day period. I will start on Monday, April 9th. My main intention for this blog is to keep myself 100% accountable... and absolutely no cheating!!! If I cheat, I will be honest and admit all of my struggles or pitfalls. I know this will be so so so very difficult. I do love food and I admit I do have weaknesses for some junk... and I have an obsession with sushi and all of the fancy rolls which I will have to give up for now. I will have NO FAST FOOD, NO JUNK FOOD and likely will not be able to eat out at all! So, unless I can find a health food restaurant of some kind, everything I put into my mouth will be prepared at home. I will know every ingredient that goes into my meals and I will do my best to eliminate any and all chemical additives from going into my body. I will be eating whole foods and organic foods whenever possible... while trying to detox my body, hopefully drop a few pounds and see how good I can feel by choosing to eat right at all times. I am hoping it will be an amazing journey and become a way of life for both myself and my husband. Right now I am the one fully committing myself to do this. I do hope to get him on board by Monday!!! April 9th is my start date...
Please wish me luck!

Love this!!! Have you checked out 100 days of Real Food? Her blog is an excellent resource for recipes and good advice.
ReplyDeleteI have not seen her blog... but I will check it out! Thanks :)
DeleteAnd I want to commit with you! Although I don't know how it will go since we are going to Florida for Spring Break. I may be ordering steamed veggies and eating lots of fruit while Im there. I really really want to do this!
ReplyDeleteI would love it if you would!!! Obviously on vacation you have to just do you best to make wise choices. I would say eat lots of veggies (tell them no oil or butter during preparation, steamed or grilled), then go with fresh fruit and salads... and for dressing probably just a little vinaigrette. For protein, maybe asked for skinless chicken breast (grilled or boiled, no sauces only herb seasonings and then you can put a dash of salt and/or pepper on at the table). Most restaurants will accommodate you unless you are at a fast food place. Make sure to read my other post on the list of ingredients to avoid and why...
DeleteI so need to do this, yes you are right 90 might be too long and 30 just isn't enough. I just need to pick my start date (very soon). I am hopping over from Friday Shout Out and am now following you on Linky Followers. I would love for you to visit (I posted an amazing giveaway that we all need to try to win) and maybe follow back.
ReplyDeleteEvelyn, I would love you to do this too. There are now 5 people doing it with me. Soon I will be posting pictures of some of the meals others are sending to me that they have been making. They are inspiring!
