Week 3

 We are surviving. Our pantry is slowly being replaced with more nutrient rich, fiber full foods and healthier cooking stuffs. My weight is staying the same, I am not starving. Deerhunter is sending our blood sugar levels into space with fresh juices with his juicer and healthy smoothies. My kids' appetites are increasing. They LOVE the hormone free milk. They are having (besides daddy's concoctions) MAYBE one glass of juice a day, a couple of glasses of milk, and the rest  is water...and not complaining (and not complaining about the rainbow assortment of different breads mommy buys, either). I LOVE Costco even more now, but I am having to use restraint. The kids are honing in on labels that read all natural and organic...and are begging for organic chocolate milk. Their appetites are increasing..did I mention  that already?...my food bill is increasing. I see an exchange in time spent..more time at the grocery (for now) and some really easy quick meals that are healthy. My PMS symptoms are at about 30% of what they have been the last 3 months...so far, anyway...

The ugly....a trip to the barbecue restaurant for a buddies' bday proves hazardous to the digestive system after all these changes, and a tour of a new local restaurant kitchen provides lovely knowledge that , "all our steaks are cryogenically frozen (yes, like W. Disney's head* that's my internal dialogue here*), so we have to set them out for several hours so that the gas smell can air out of them." Yumm, delicious...

Week 4, here we come!!!
