There is only one gift that means EVERYTHING but you can only give it to yourself: Health.

Without it, nothing else matters.

Three weeks ago my husband, Steve, decided to improve his health so he gave his body a break from caffeine, alcohol, meat and dairy. Perhaps inspired by my 30 day raw cleanse, for these 21 days he also ate raw, plant-based foods. He noticed my physical, mental and emotional results and wanted some of that good stuff for himself. He set his goals, one of which was to be under 160 pounds by his birthday, November 21st. 

His fortitude is motivating because unlike me, he still REALLY likes coffee, burgers, pizza and a nice cold beer every once in a while. He was STRONG. I was inspired.

Face slimmed down after only a week

Stomach is flatter

Spare tire around his waist (just like I had) is gone

Skin on face cleared up

Skin on back cleared up

Skin on face is not oily at the end of a long day

He still smelled fresh, like he just jumped out of the shower, at the END of the day

Emotions leveled out, no mood swings

Overall calmness

All of his clothes fit him again

(even the low-rise skinny jeans that I bought him a few birthdays ago but he refuses to wear, are baggy.)

Lost 15 pounds
