What are your favorite foods?
Do you know what is in them?
Ferric orthophosphate....Cholecalciferol... Pyridoxine Hydrochloride...etc... huh?
I've learned pretty quickly just by looking at the ingredients on the labels that food often sounds more like a science experiment than actual real food. I am not a scientist and I do not have the time to go look up the scientific names so if I don't recognize the ingredient I shouldn't be eating it.
Culprit Numero Uno?
High Fructose Corn Syrup. Go ahead do your research learn about what this actually does to your blood sugar levels, go ahead, I will wait...
ugh...no good right? The worst part is it is EVERYWHERE!
I found a great list of products that you can check out too if you are interested in trying to cut HFCS from your diet. I'm going to create my own comprehensive list for future reference once I've tried things and know what I like and what I don't.
Here's the site thanks to a fellow blogger at High-Fructose High!
Good luck and Happy HFCS-free Shopping!

And so it begins
Hi all,
My name is Nicole and I'm afraid to say it but I'm turning 30 in less than 2 weeks. 30!!
Now, the number doesn't scare me at all. I went through a quarter life crisis at 25 and I have no desire to stress over things out of my control again. What scares me is that I was bed-ridden last week for almost 4 full days. I've been sick before but never have I EVER been knocked out cold. (bronchitis was the culprit) So the fact that I'm days away from 30 and just recently I felt like I was 95 hit me pretty hard. I want to do something about it, and I know that if I don't make my plans and hopes public then I won't hold myself accountable, so here's my blog. It's here to keep me going and pumped but it's also here because I can't wait to share all of the awesome things I'm finding as I make changes to my life.
Sometimes you experience things or learn things and you cannot stop that voice in your soul wanting to shout it from the roof tops. So as I am Craving Goodness in my life this blog will be my roof top!
