Switching gears
I started back to school give or take a year ago. My intent was to study computers, what I've learned is that I do know a little more about computers than the average person but they are moving to fast for me to catch up. In that year, I also have been working on me, exercise, getting healthy etc. After next semester I will be changing majors and changing schools. The new major will be along the lines of nutrition and holistic methods of living. Since Fort Wayne colleges don't really offer what I am looking for, I am forced to go online. so the adventure begins...

Gotta start somewhere...
I think I have been putting off getting healthy for every stupid reason I can think of. I have school, I have homework, I have housework, I have, I have, I have a handful of excuses!
Today I watched a few food documentaries. They always snap me into action. You name it, I've seen it. I have learned a lot, still have way more to learn but I am getting there. There is no diet that is gonna do it, there is no one exercise that is gonna do it. It is not portion control and exercice, it is a complete lifestyle change. It will not happen over night, but I will get there. Just like about 18/24 mons ago when I quit fast food, soda and 99% processed foods overnight. I feel so much better. Happier, stronger, just all around feel good stuff. Now the next phase, cut out ALL sugar and go plant based, no animal product eating.
I can honestly say that I do not miss ANY fast food, ANY soda and no processed food. But no steak on the grill in the summer with a cold beer.. Whew, this might get a little rough. I am not really a "sugar\sweet" kind of person, but I do LOVE really good brownies. I will tackle this a little differently that my first lifestyle change. I will start with sugar then move onto meats and then eggs, dairy, etc. I am not necessarily going Vegan because I will be keeping pure raw honey and an occasional egg. Also, I don't think that I could ever go without some kind of cheese. Not a milk drinker so that is not a problem at all. I drink Kefir too so there is a little more dairy. Is there such a thing as healthy dairy or healthy animal products?
I have removed all sugar, cheese, things I am eliminating and bagged them up. I will be giving them to church to stock their kitchen.
And because I cannot throw food away, tonight I will be having pork chops, not sure how I will prepare them yet.

Reasons... so many.
The vision that started it all.
February will be 2 years, 2 years of crawling, fighting, reaching to move forward. I was ill and did not realized just how ill. Even now I look back and am still not 100% sure just how ill I'd become. I was mentally, physically, spiritually spent. I did not know it at the time but I was killing myself, poisoning my being with what I believed was food. I am still learning and in turn attempting to pay it forward, the info of what is food, what is healthy, what is true. When your body is in balance everything else falls into play and follows suit.
There is a way out, a way up from the depths of YUCK is what I have come to call it. You just have to not only want it but GO FOR IT!
