The beginning of a healthy journey

Since having Miss. L, I have had some extra weight. That's only obvious. I have lost 20 pounds since having my little sidekick, but I still have a lot to loose. 

I am past the point of just  wanting to loose weight, I want to be healthy. I want my family to be healthy. 

So, here it starts, the beginning of my journey...

I am writing this on my blog because I simply need to be held responsible. I need people to ask about my progress. I need to be accountable. 

I started my journey earlier this week when I decided to start weening myself off of my zoloft. I have to take zoloft for anxiety. I have prayed to God to get me through this. I have prayed for him to comfort me as I go off of a medicine that keeps me from panic attacks. I have already purchased my St. John's Wart, I will begin taking that as soon as I have weened myself off, I am ready to rid my body of toxins and replace it with all natural supplements. I am happy to report that as of now, I have not had one panic attack. Not even a little one. I am at peace, God has gotten me through way worst. 

Here goes nothing, advice and tips are extremely welcome...

Today's grocery store visit was a lot more colorful than usual. I have never purchased Kale, honestly didn't even know what to look for. Took my healthy treasures home, cleaned and prepared for the coming week.

Tonight's shake was gross.  I forgot the advise I had been given and made my shake with 4 vegetables and 3.5 fruits. lesson learned. It was thick, green and extremely healthy. 

Lillian couldn't get enough though, my little health nut.

So here goes nothing....I will post my progress and I cannot wait to see what my healthy future holds.
