a new project

I haven't been very active here on my little blog because I've been busy with a my new project for 2011: Me!  Something has finally clicked (I've grown up!) and I've been making healthier food choices.  It all started with Whole Living Magazine's 28-Day Action Plan.  I've cut out artificial sweeteners, processed food, excessive dairy and gluten, preservatives and soda.
It's been extremely enlightening to discover some of my food sensitives and then shape my menu around those.  I'm feeling better than I've ever felt in my adult life - and, surprise surprise surprise, I'm even exercising!  My goal was to get healthy.  And I really do feel healthier.  My weight is going down slowly... slow and steady wins the race!  After over 2 months of maintaining awareness of what I put in my body I'm happy to say I'm still motivated and encouraged to continue.  Sure I could lose weight faster by popping pills, starving myself or handing over all my money to a weight loss center... but I'm looking for a lifestyle change I can incorporate for the rest of my life.
And that's what I've achieved with the Whole Living Action Plan.  I've been trying new recipes, blogging about my experiences and really enjoying being part of the Whole Living Community.  If this interests you at all, check out my journey.
Hoping to get back to sharing some of my craft/sewing/building/gardening projects again.  Maybe now that I have more energy I'll get better at it.  :)
