Let the Countdown Begin!!!

Seeing as the title so closely matches today's festivities (being New Year's Eve and all...) I want to make it perfectly clear that this is not a New Year's resolution!  Something that we believe whole-heartedly in for about a week and then casually forget about like an old toy.  This is 90 days of proving that what you put into your body effects what comes out of it (and I'm not just talking about poop.)  This is why I am starting it the day before!  No negative New Year's karma!


I have been probing the documentary world for some time now and was shocked at how poorly I ate.  Don't get me wrong, I've always been a big fan of produce and lots of other healthy things. Unfortunately for me, I like to eat them lying next to a big, juicy steak or drenched in cheese.  In school I don't remember really being taught about nutrition until I was in college.  I remember being in high school and thing that Cheeze-its were a health food.  


While learning about all of the things that are wrong with the food industry and agriculture I tried to figure out the right way to eat.  




My week's worth of treats form Whole Foods cost me less than $50 and will, hopefully, be much nicer to my insides!






Now that my kitchen has been transformed into a vegan hippie heaven it is time for me to get to work!  I will be checking in each week (at least once) to share recipes and any other fun, nutritious, food facts that I may find.  And, I will also let you know how it is working!  Trust me...if this stuff doesn't make me feel better I will be back to grilling steaks and eating salad...on the side!




Wish me luck!  Ready,set, go...
