Blessings, affirmations, grace, and reflection

Since summer I have changed my diet to a more plant based diet. That has included slowly eliminating diary from my diet as well. I have noticed positive changes. My skin, which had deteriorated over the last couple of years, has improved significantly. My weight has maintained (though I want to lose). My energy has increased (when I take my vitamin and supplements daily).  I have less mucus and phlegm in my body so I am less congested and getting sick less often and for shorter bouts. As an added bonus, my periods, which had been getting progressively worse over the years, are lighter and less painful. Since we are moving into the colder season, I have been adding meat back into my diet for dinner. I notice that the more meat I eat, the heavier and more painful my periods are. It also has an impact on my body odor and breath. I have virtually no odor when I don't eat meat. Conclusion, vegetarian is the way to go to for me.

Making Jill Scott's " The Way " my theme song of the day. Woke up this morning with a smile on my face. Doing a little cleaning up before I head out to the Farmer's Market.

So, last night I looked at AU's graduate certificate program that I have been researching. They have exactly what I need! To add icing to the cake they also prepare students for the National Board Certification. Sounds like a winner to me!...

The better I get about improving my diet, the better I feel. It is amazing how certain foods make such a big impact on your health. I wish we lived in a world where it was easier to live a healthy lifestyle and where work wasn't the end all, be all. I've been eating only fruits, veggies, seafood, nuts, and reducing the amount of starches in my diet. I haven't (thus far) had any cravings. I rarely snack and my blood sugar levels seem even. The issue is maintaining this while under stress at work. I will try to formulate the habit now and maintain it when I return to work.
