My journey to good health begins

My friend Gayle has been a real inspiration to me when it comes to Eating Clean. You can check out her blog below. It's called "Blessed to be a Blessing." She has been faithfuling eating clean and exercising and lost so much weight and looks and feels great. This is what I aspire to do.

What is eating clean you might ask? It's eating food in it's most natural form. No processed foods. No preservatives. I Have just finished reading the book and have sort of started eating clean but I am not quite there yet. I have rid the house of most processed foods but there are still some chocolates hanging out tempting us. Well their about to be taken to the office and shared with those not watching their waistlines.

For those of you who see me on a regular basis you know that I have been suffering from problems with my back. I saw a specialist at UCLA Spine Center on Monday. I had prayed that I would not have to have surgery and the first thing the doctor said to me when he walked in the room was "Well you have a couple of bum discs, but you won't need surgery." Praise God. Basically the only treatment is to lose weight and take physical therapy to learn to do specific exercises and stretching techniques.

So now my journey begins...
