Purity Month

During the shortest month of the year, my wife and I have decided to eliminate un-savories from our diet.  This means, among other things, no meat, poultry, or booze.  We are also trying to limit the sugar, dairy, white four, and fried food in our diet.  This is not the first time we’ve done this.

It’s been a couple weeks, this round, and the benefits are noticeable.  We both feel more energetic.  Jacque has noticed (and so have I) that the diet has improved her skin (more glowey).  No more food coma or stomach aches.  Most of all, I’ve felt more productive, motivated, and smarter.

The unerring austerity of purity month might not become a permanent fixture in our lives, but the lessons we’re learning certainly will.  I expect to moderate much more and to make healthier choices from here to the end…
