Eating for My Health One Day at a Time

Nearly ever person who asks me about my "diet" doesn't believe I don't feel hungry.  I really don't.  I stopped feeling hungry a long time ago. I discovered for myself that the discomfort and the hunger that I felt was really more like with-drawl.  What I felt was more related to the process of detoxification… Continue reading Eating for My Health One Day at a Time

Some weeks you win… some you don’t

This week was crazy busy.  I had a concert every single night.  I had a hard time getting health food for myself every day.  I have to admit, I didn't make the right choice every time.  Now, don't go thinking I fell off the wagon and dove into sugar and a carnivorous lifestyle.  I didn't… Continue reading Some weeks you win… some you don’t
