Happy Beginnings

Recently I decided that I needed a change. Not just some ordinary change, but a "rock my world, turn it upside down, change all I know" type of change.

I had been hearing about Clean Eating from shows like "Dr. Oz," "The Doctors," and "The View" but having no idea what exactly this meant, I went on a research binge.

I learned that eating clean is NOT a diet, but a lifestyle change. Knowing this was exactly the type of change I was looking for, I dug a little deeper. I soon read of all the benefits that changing to this type of lifestyle would bring.

I will have to admit, although in doing so I am HIGHLY embarrassed, I started this journey to lose weight. Slowly as I read more of how and why to encompass this diet, my goals changed from wanting to shed a few pounds to wanting to live the healthiest lifestyle I can.

And now here I am to continue my journey and offer up tips that I am learning along the way. I'm still a newbie myself: so there will be many firsts for me as well!
