I am starting my 100% grain-free and dairy-free diet today.  During the summer, I tend to fall off the wagon just like everyone else.  It is hard to stay disciplined during numerous weddings, BBQs, and other summer-time social events.  Today marks the end of the wedding season for me!  I cannot wait to get back on my diet, increase my energy, sleep better, and feel better.  It is amazing how much better I feel when I leave out dairy and grains in my diet.
