I just started re-reading "8 weeks to optimum health" by Dr. Andrew Weil. I've made a serious decision to go through with the program. Right now I am on week 2. What that means is that I am taking vitamin C every day as well as flax seed oil. I am only eating whole grains and vegatables/fruits, and I have given up dairy products. And after being a strict vegetarian for over 10 years, Dr. Weil has convinced me to start eating fish! Soooo, I have eaten fish once a week since starting this program. Fish really isn't so bad! I'm convinced it's necessary to be totally healthy, which is why I have decided to break my vows as a vegetarian. It's weird saying "pescatarian" since that's what I am now. I felt a little sad the first time I had to say it. But it feels kinda nice to be making a change in the name of health, not politics.

So, the other things I have to do is walk every day (which isn't hard since I have a dog), and do breathing excercises everyday. The breathing excercises are just like meditation, so it is really nice.

So far I feel lighter and healthier. I feel a bit more confident too. Maybe that is b/c of the lightness I feel in my body. I'm trying to also include natural ways when it comes to the outside of my body. Here is a recipe that I have been using to wash my face at night:

1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp honey
mix together and spread all over face. rinse. done.

Voila. Love the healthy life.
