Hello 2011! I really do feel like I'm beginning this year as a "new" version of myself. Being a Mother of two has a LOT to do with it. Never in my life have I felt so challenged, yet so happy. The moments go from one strong feeling to another, sometimes very quickly. I have great days and terrible ones, but one thing is certain, I'm not the same.
Last year was an adventure in my first year of being gluten free. Honest-to-goodness gluten free, due to celiac disease. This year the adventure continues on, and I have decided to treat sugar the same way that I treat gluten. Sugar is my own personal hell, for me it's a drug, much like crack. I also see that it takes hold of my daughter, and she becomes obsessed with it, I decided to nix it for myself and for her as well. 2011 for me is about enjoying time with my family, and bringing myself to a level of optimal health so that I truly can enjoy every moment that I can. I would love to shed another 20-30lbs, and feel that it would be in my best interest to do so. Paddy is only 3 months old so I try not to expect too much from myself, but truth is, with all that I've learned recently I know that it can and will be done, and I'm so excited about this. I always think it's great to make resolutions that are reasonable, lifestyle changes is what they really are - after removing gluten I know that I can remove the sugary items from my diet too. Things like brownies, cookies and cupcakes will just have to take a backseat like gluten has. I'll allow myself raw desserts and chocolates and those awesome primal coconut muffins :) It's all good enough for me. I can't wait to experience life without both gluten and sugar!
