And so it begins.

Welcome to my first blog post! I’ve read, I’ve researched, I’ve shopped and I’ve glutted myself on the oh-so-good-but-bad-for-you stuff. Tomorrow marks a new day in my household.
Starting with a three week, no dairy, no gluten and no sugar detox, I am beginning my adventures in whole foods. My main goal is to drastically improve my health and get myself off my blood pressure medication. AND I really, really, really don't want my daughter to grow up and deal with the same problems I have.
Lots of people are on blood pressure medication. But here’s the thing—I’m 33 years old. Combine this with my increased chances of developing Type II Diabetes and I have a real reason to be concerned with my health.
I’d like to use this forum to share my hopes of success, my inevitable failures, new foods and recipes that I’ve tried and hopefully some inspiration that I find along the way.
I hope you enjoy any small bit of my adventure!
