Today seems like an appropriate day to begin talking about what I’ve been putting INTO my body rather than doing with my body along this journey. As of this week, I’ve officially made it back into ketosis after backsliding a little bit due to travel, cheating and general laziness when it comes to meal prep. My ketone levels are ranging between roughly 15-40 mg on the dip stick this week. Ever since the hair loss issue...

According to this article, poorly maintained vehicles cause thousands of wrecks each year. The bill for accidents resulting from unperformed vehicle maintenance tops $2 billion a year. Even if you’re lucky enough to avoid a crash, putting off maintenance is likely to reduce your car’s life span roughly 50,000 miles.

On the average, I provide roughly 20-24 hours of massage...

Not all bodies are made just alike. In fact, it’s quite timely that I’m beginning to discuss this because just last Friday, I began to notice significant hair loss. I’ve had a friend go through this as...

Inspired by a random text message exchange with a friend yesterday who lives in Portland, I decided to force myself to sit down and start this. I told her I was wanting to start blogging about my journey and she said she’d like to read it. Sometimes this whole storytelling thing is easier when I feel like I’m speaking to one person rather than the masses. LOL! Thanks, Em! Occasionally my over analytical mind and borderline...
