Lately...

It really has.  The sun has been shining brightly here in San Diego and my creative side has been flowing like never before (I've seriously been crafting valentines, painting our house, making great flower arrangements, you name it). 

I also did a mini cleanse which I must say was... interesting.  The first two days I crashed mid afternoon.  The nutritionist in me was analyzing everything I ate, my water intake, sleep, etc.  I was going to stop, but decided to tough it out and give it another day.  The third day took me by surprise.  I had this boost of energy and mental clarity that I hadn't had in a long time.  It was pretty awesome.  Oh, and don't worry... I still ate food!  I just got rid of all possible food allergens and ate clean and simple.  I also got rid of sugar.  That was a milestone.
 I also ate a lot of this...
