Since I started really eating this way, my blood pressure is down from 135/70, which is where I had been for years, down to 123/62. That all by itself is pretty amazing.

I've had some poor stretches of eating, especially the last few weeks that have been pretty stressful for me, but I still feel committed to it. I find that when I do drink dairy milk (maybe 5 times since August), or eat a lot of junk or sugar that my body responds by not feeling well. It's something I had never noticed before, but it's hard to miss now.

I love hummus (though I need to dip something other than tortilla chips in it, probably - pepper slices perhaps) and bought an immersion blender to make the soup. Time to start making some myself.
