The Beginning

Steven and I decided we were going to take charge of our health and signed up to meet with a nutrition counselor to work with us for 4 months. Our first appointment was to go over our history and sample some of the foods she would be recommending for us to eat. Some new items we tried, a green minty smoothy, a handful of trail mix made from sprouted nuts, goji berries and cacoa and kambucha. Not terrible tasting but not what we are used to by far. We are used to things I don't even want to mention here. I am way too ashamed and embarassed by our eating habits.

So,thus the blog begins. I'll be highlighting the new foods we eat and our experience over the next 120ish days.

To our health!!
