Wheat-free Rededication

Over the years, I've adjusted my diet in various ways to try to find inner & outer balance. Health & weight issues usually drive the adjustments. This year the adjustment will be health related. When examining my diet, I have found refined sugars, wheat, coffee have re-emerged in my daily routine. I feel it to in my joints and muscles. So now it's time to detox. I'm starting off easy with eliminating wheat and refined sugar. That tends to be easier for me. I experience withdraws, but it's manageable. As a former chef, I have spent years living as a gluten-free vegan, and know my way around a creative kitchen. There are so many healthy alternatives, I don't miss it flavor wise. The convenience is the only adjustment challenge. A little more menu planning is needed, my motivation is easy because I know how much better I will feel.

As for the coffee! That's different and I'm not sure I want to give it up again. I love the smell, the flavor, and ritual of drinking coffee in the morning. So this one may be around for a little longer.
