Still Alive

It's been far too long since my last post. I've been fighting the scale and illness and generally been having a pity party for myself. Luckily medication has been helping my stomach (I can even have coffee again!!!!) and I am back to eating healthy.

How healthy? Pretty darn healthy, if I do say so myself. It's not difficult to eat well when you are on a faux cleanse. I'm halfway through a three week program I made up with a friend. Three weeks of no alcohol except red wine, no processed foods, only whole grains, and no sweets. We are allowing a few cheats for sweets - I am allowing myself honey and agave syrup. My desserts are now plain yogurt or cottage cheese with a squirt of honey or agave. I have a huge sweet tooth but the sweet dairy has been sufficient.

Have I lost weight? Nope. Do I feel better? Yes. I think that is a good start.
