New Year - New Reads!

Mom and Dad stocked me up on some great new reads for Christmas!  Work is slower than normal and I am a reading machine and I have about 3 different directions I would love to try with the new year?  I just get so excited to have some time to think and read and contemplate what I could do with myself with a 48 hour day!  Do you get this way during the last week of the year???  

Well I know we can only choose one so I stopped my A.D.D. way of book reading for the rest of the week and picked one book to finish vs. starting all of them at once.  I chose the Clean Program since I have been threatening for some time to do a cleanse and I think it is a great way to start the new year fresh.  I love the book that goes along with it because it doesn't just say do x/y/z but gives you the science behind the why so I can understand what parts are right for me and my situation.  

So our house is like one big science experiment right now.  We took our measurements and there are supplements and notebooks all over the place while we track and learn more about ourselves.  But the biggest gift is just getting fired up and excited and sharing with my hubby on the results and what we think.  We have had some kick butt conversations to close out the year.  

I have quite a social day - lunch with a friend and dinner with husband's work so I didn't shoot a vlog but wanted to share all the neat things I am reading.  Best quote from my current book - "...all stressors on the system, from toxic foods to toxic thoughts, manifest as a mucusy heaviness in the body, which is the first stage of disease."  That one statement helped propel me from wanting to clean up the diet to doing it.  I am addicted to carbs right now so I am going to prep one week of clean eating and then go into the 3 weeks cleanse.  Main point on why I like this clean vs. some of the raw food ones I have been reading is that it incorporates putting good bacteria and probiotics back into your diet so you are healing and now just cleaning out the system.  I do believe all health starts with our intestines and our detox abilities...even though that is not the prettiest thing to chat about on a vlog.  LOL! 

Well I am off to start my day just wanted to share my new books with you and see what you might have gotten from Santa.

Cheers! Amy
