DAY 307 -- Feed a cold?

Yesterday by the end of the day my throat was real sore, and today I felt hungrier than ever.  Is this my bodies natural way to deal with germs..."Feed a cold?"  It's hard for me to tell if I am overeating or if my body really needs the extra fuel/protein/nutrients or whatever.

One thing I do know, however, is that I did not get enough sleep last night to help combat this, so I'm going to bed now.

DAY 306 -- Vitamins

I take vitamin and herb supplements, but I've been wondering about them lately.  I've read different reports that state vitamins are unnecessary if a person is eating healthy because the vitamins come from the foods.  I've also read that since the soil is depleted by overproduction of crops, our vegetables and fruits do not have the nutrition they should.

I would love input (comments) on things you've learned or experienced concerning the vitamin debate.

DAY 305 -- Clarification

Just for clarification...

I've mentioned a few times that my husband and I save money on our grocery budget by eating healthy.  However, we spent more than usual the first month we started.  I'm not certain why the first month was more costly but I suspect it was because we cleared our cupboards of so much packaged food and junk, and then needed to restock our pantry with healthy items.

So when you initially start to eat healthy and feel a pinch in the pocketbook, hang in there.
