The Secret - My secret

I haven't blogged for a few days because apart from my dietary journey i have also embarked on another journey - To give up smoking. As a consequence the medication i am taking makes me feel quite sick and sleepy and so the most of the last few days i have been eating meals that i have frozen.It is a struggle but i am convinced that by next Thursday i will not be smoking any more. As mentioned earlier i am not only on a journey of what i eat but am looking at my lifestyle in stages wholistically
