Striving for Health & Simplicity

Hello readers! Thank you for your patience over the last few months with the silence. Towards the end of my Six Week Eat to Live Journey we found out we are expecting! There are still days that we find this hard to believe! The first trimester brought with it sheer exhaustion, plus the adjustment to having a puppy. Only when December came did I start to begin to feel more human, right in time for Christmas! Now that the Christmas celebrations have ended we're in full planning mode for a fun and busy 2018!

I will follow Dr. Joel Furhnams Eat to Live program, I will increase my physical activity, and I will working towards being more minimalistic. Why am I doing this? At the age if fifteen I was diagnosed with Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS)...
