This is my Nineveh!


It may sound crazy, but this is my Nineveh.

I know what I have to do to be healthy and fail only because I allow my own self doubt, self defeatism and fear of failure to stand in my way.

God told Jonah to basically get up and get your butt to Nineveh. Arise and go.

I know what I have to do to be healthy, I have the tools and the resources to conquer the illness this shell I live in has been struggling with for years.

I'm committed to 'Arise and go'. I'm removing the negative from my life and embracing the positive and each day is a success because I've chosen it to be.


  1. A little less caffeine a little more imagination

    I think the reason I have had such a hard with xeroxing in the past is that it wasn't just the food .... It was the caffeine to. *

    I have been fighting horrible caffeine withdrawl complete with aches, headaches and more fatigue than normal. *I can also tell you that I am a little foggier than normL and that I am having a hard time concentrating.

    My las detox was definitely worse than this, but that was the food too.

    While making a move to high raw immediately ...

    It's been a rough couple months. I keep looking back at where I've been over the past decade as approach that looming birthday... you know.. the one where you celebrate the first anniversary of your 29th year?

    Despite the setbacks, I have to focus on how far I've come and not on the negatives.

    The negatives:
    • My comphy size 10's (13 missies) are growing snugger.
    • My skin is back to being a horrible mess.
    • I'm loosing my sex drive
    • I'm feeling down and

  3. I know it's hard...

    Dear Kit,

    I know it's hard and that turning your back on cooked and fast food again is a hard choice to make. You and Dan love pasta, pizza and potatoes and I know that they're hard to give up. But don't forget why you gave them up in the first place. They were killing you.

    You were always sick, always tired and always depressed and you're already battling that again. Why keep fighting the bad fight when it can be resolved with the good fight? Hell, why even fight ...

    Dear Kit,

    Your journey to this point in life has been a bumpy one, but who's life hasn't been. You've fought Poly Cystic Ovarian Disease, Diabetes, a head injury, high cholesterol and epileptic tendencies for years.

    You've watched the world go through it's high points and low points and even fall apart around you.

    You've watched your family suffer some of the greatest losses a family could ever experience, but it brought all of you together. You're still ...

    Good afternoon everyone!

    It's been a rocky few days. My girl times arrived about four days ago, heralded by intense pain and immediately followed by the bursting of an ovarian cyst. With it came uncharacteristic swelling and tenderness than I normally experience.

    Soo I fasted for two days drinking pretty much just water which helped with a bit with the swelling but I'm still swollen, but back to eating a little bit today. So far.. a peach... and some water.. my stomach ...
