I've been away this month!  Excercising and detoxing this month has been a eye opener.  I don't know what to make of this change in lifestyle just yet except it will improve my  quality of life and weight loss.  I want it to mean so much more but that's yet to be seen.  I was going to skip my p90x today but updating this blog has inspired me to go ahead and get my sweat on.   Peace....
