Today is day 1 of my new diet. I’m not ‘dieting’ to lose weight, though that would be a nice side benefit, but to become healthier.
To put it bluntly I’ve been eating a lot of junk, and my body is not happy about it.
Instead of eliminating one thing or another, or just cutting the junk, I’m taking a more radical approach.
I’m eliminating some common allergens: gluten, soy, dairy, and I’m cutting out sugar.
I also plan to start running again next week. This week I’ll increase my walking, and exercise with our Wii Fit 3-4 days a week.
I’ll be posting once a day to Posterous if you are interested in following me. I may add a tab to this site, or a secondary site, but for now you can find my journey here.

Yay Kelly!! It’s SO hard… but it worked for me last Jan when we did the Body and Soul thing… I need to get back on the wagon though.. summer did me in:)
Hi Kelly! If you need any tips on cutting gluten & finding good substitute foods, I’ve been gluten free for little over a year. I can give you shortcuts on which mixes and cookbooks are good if you need/want such info. I wasted a lot of $ figuring out this stuff, so I’m happy to share! I think of cutting dairy, but haven’t yet. But sugar? Don’t think I could really live without it.
Way to make a positive move Kelly.
Over the last year my wife & I have lost 60 combined pounds. Here is the post that explains how we did it… hope it helps.
