Today is your day

And nothing can stand in your way.... The title and first sentence are lyrics from the new Shania Twain song Today is your day featured on her new television series on OWN. The reason why I have chosen to use the title of this song and some of the lyrics in the premier post on my blog is because I get a really positive vibe from it. Today is your day and it is my day as well, sorta like today is the first day of the rest of your life or my life for that matter. My husband and I have finally made the commitment to get healthier and take a holistic approach. With that stated, we plan to get healthier, limiting processed foods, eating more fresh foods, trying not to overcook veggies and so forth, implement a healthy dose of exercise, and work on our outlook of the world and our situation. Again, today is your day and everything is going your way. We, my husband and I are finally at a point where we feel confident about our future.

So going forward, I will post several times a week or provide updates of our progress. We plan to officially start our holistic challenge shortly and I will at that time give more details on what we are eating, what we are doing physically and emotionally to be the best we can and as Oprah has stated, "To live our best lives." I also we list recipes, exercises, tips, photos, and possibly our staring weight and weight progress (for accountability reasons). We are also on a tight budget like most Americans experiencing hardships from the current recession, and therefore I will stay on a tight budget while providing us the most fresh and wholesome meals possible and again limiting processed foods.
