What a crappy day...

Didn't go to work today. Slept most of the day. Terrible PMS. I will be so glad when this goes away! It seems the older I get the worse it gets. I was dizzy and just felt so weak and drained. And of course I beat myself up all day for not going to work.. sigh.. oh well.. tomorrow is a new day...

Top 15 Least & Most Contaminated Fruits, Vegetables | Natural Society

One of the first things I needed to know was "what" I was putting in my body. The list of bad things that have gone into and on my body are kinda scary. Looking at this list of most contaminated foods, I see many that I have just in the last few months added into my diet on a daily basis. Now I make sure to clean my fruits and veggies very well. And in keeping with my new healthy life style, I wanted to make sure that what I use to wash them with was safe too... and green. Gotta remember to take care of the planet too!! And I want to do this as cheaply as possible. Living a healthy lifestyle can really get expensive. So I found a recipe to make my veggie wash at home.

Fruit and Veggie wash:

1 cup of water

1 cup of white vinegar

2 tbsp baking soda

2 tbsp lemon juice

Make sure you mix this in a big container because when you mix the vinegar and baking soda it will fizz, expand and run all over the place! Once it stops fizzing you can put it in a clean spray bottle. I used an empty pine sol spray bottle (after I had cleaned it very very well) that I was going to put in the recycle bin! Spray your fruits and veggies with this wash and let sit for 15 mins then rinse well!

So it begins...

I have been unhealthy all my life... Physically, mentally and spiritually. I have been searching for a very long time for something... anything.. that would make me feel happy and whole.. I have read so much information on different ways to conquer my depression, ways to change how I think.. how I feel.. how I should eat blah blah blah.. lol. The amount of information out there just blows my mind and it's very overwhelming!! I'm still reading.. and searching.. and now it's time to start doing the work. So the journey begins. This is my journey to healthy, clean eating. A journey to my real self. A spiritual journey. And OMG.. an exercise journey (I hate to exercise!).

This will be a real journey. With many ups and downs. And lots of spelling mistakes.. lol. I wont sugar coat anything... I can't anyway cause I can't have sugar anymore... When I'm happy.. you will know. When I'm sad... you will know. And I will try very hard to stop using the ... (dots). I will share what works and what doesn't. This is all for me.. but it would be awesome if my journey helped someone else. So.. welcome to my ride.. until tomorrow...
