Welcome to Lean, Clean, Green Lifestyles



Hi!  I’m glad you’re here to learn more about how to live a LEANER, CLEANER, GREENER LIFESTYLE.  I am excited to share the things I am learning with you as I transition from a traditional American lifestyle to a lifestyle that is “leaner, cleaner and greener.”
A LITTLE ABOUT ME

As I start this blog, let me tell you a little bit about myself.  Ten years ago I received some devastating news concerning my health.  I won’t go into specifics, but at the time I was given a 4% chance of recovering from my illness and a 10% chance of surviving at all.  If this diagnosis was not bad enough, over the course of the next year I received two more diagnoses for equally dangerous and debilitating illnesses.  All three illnesses were autoimmune diseases … and all three could take my life.
I spent most of the next ten years in bed because I was unable to move my frozen joints or throbbing muscles.  To say the least, this was not the way I wanted to spend the rest of my life.  My husband and I never gave up the hope that we could find an answer to all of these problems.  My doctors were pleased at the “fight” they saw in me.  They told me that my attitude had saved my life.
Now … let’s fast forward to the end of March 2010.  This was just a year ago.  I was introduced to the importance of detoxifying and replenishing my body in a healthy way.  I cannot even begin to tell you how much my life has changed during this past year.  Not only have I taken off 100 pounds, but I am also beginning to live the life of my dreams (which you will learn more about in future posts.)  After such an amazing come back, I have become totally focused on how to continue to get better and improve my life.  I have been doing a lot of research and making lots of changes to my life.  This is an exciting adventure.
A LITTLE ABOUT THIS BLOG

If you have read this far, your questions might be – what is this blog about?  Why should I come back and read it?  What is in it for me?  Well the answer is that I would love you to join me on this adventure to transition to a leaner, cleaner and greener lifestyle.  Through this blog I will be including information I learn through my research, tips for living leaner, cleaner and greener, and share ideas about how together we can help others make this transition.
I will be posting articles, tips, recipes and other interesting tidbits I come across every week.  I hope you will check back regularly and contribute your own ideas about how to live leaner, cleaner and greener. 
Thanks!!
