I soared through the first 2 – 3 months without a hitch or without a cheat or without a deviation from my self proscribed life change. Fast forward to today… My 3rd month...  “Perfection is, broadly, a state of completeness and flawlessness.” I set out 4 months ago to be PERFECT and I WAS for about two and a half months.

Caring for sick loved ones can be especially stressful. I have been exhausted and off track the last two days. I love how each day is new and each day we can begin again. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Sounds simple? Check out Dr. Fuhrman’s Website. When I was brain storming to...  I spent the day yesterday in the ER with my mom and she was admitted into the hospital. This is the type of stressor that would normally send me looking for sugar.
