Our Journey to Health

My husband and I just saw the film "Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" with Joe Cross. It was mind-blowing. Made me sit and re-think or want to "Reboot" as John says.

My husband and I looked at each other and decided then and there to recommit to eating less sweets and junk food. Yes, sorry to say that we are junkies. Junkies for junk food, sweets, and chips.


Our habit is out of control. Dollar store visits multiple times a week and munching all the time.

Now, I follow a strict Paleo diet during the week but need to detox from the junk foods. 

While we are not obese, we have become a bit soft around the waist lately. Yuck! Doesn't feel good at all. We've just been in denial about it...refusing to talk about it. 

So, Day 1 is down. I ate 3 meals today of fruits, veggies and nuts. Back to my strict Paleo blueprint. We are in it together. For our own reasons and needs but in this together.

More to come...

RECIPE: Detox Veggie Soup

Okay, so you've overeaten and you feel awful, right. I feel your pain, literally. When I overeat, my stomach goes into crisis mode and blows up about double its current size. This causes the slightly herniated discs in my lower spine to shift which results in tremendous pain. My legs go out because the discs hits on the sciatic nerve running down my left leg. Do you know that drill? Perhaps, you have a drill of your own.

One of the first things that I do to stop this madness is to make a veggie soup in the slow cooker. Soup is perfect because it is 1) highly nutritious, 2) comforting and 3) promotes healing.  This is my formula for a powerful Detox Veggie Soup.
