Time sure flys. I’ve been raw for 9 months now and will never turn back. I haven’t reached 100% but I am pretty darn close. So many positive changes have taken place. Energy up, weight down, skin clearer, improved strength and mental clarity.
It is now time to take things up a notch. I’m going to remove the 2 biggest vices I have remaining from my SAD days…coffee and beer. It’s not going to be easy. I may be miserable for a while. I’ll apologize now in advance if I happen to snap for ...

Either way, we have found a haven for advice and perspective along our personal journeys.
Achieving a goal is a wonderful feeling. Not ...

I know this is going to a great weekend. The weather forecast is clear and unseasonably warm. No snow in sight. No real plans aside from the 4+ hours cheering for my kids at the local hockey rink.
