Time for a change!

I've been looking for a way to improve my health and loose a little weight at the same time. Through my search I ran across a few documentries on netflix that really intrigued me. One of them is, Hunger for Change, and the other one is, Forks over Knives. Both had a very strong message regarding the use of too much animal protein and not enough plant protein.

We all know that we should limit our intake of refined sugar, fats and such, but it can be a hard change. I for one tend to drink my calories each day through the ever addicting soda pop. ( I'm so naughty!). Everyone likes the idea of bettering ones self, but change is never easy. It can be a simple concept but to actually implement it daily is like pulling teeth.

Both of the doumentries listed above really spoke to me. Now, I'm not saying I want to be a Vegan, or that I could even live such a strict eating lifestyle, but I do feel I can do a better job at cutting back on the bad stuff and incorporating the good stuff. I've decided (with much support from my loving husband) that I would give this a really strong and great effort. So, yesterday I purchased the companion cookbook for the documentry Forks over Knives. I'm sure I will find something I like out of 300 recipes! I am going to look at this adventure as a positive way to improve my health and well being and enjoy the idea of trying new things. Wish me luck!
