Week 4

I can't believe how fast this challenge is going by. It's crazy to think that we have been eating whole foods only for a month. We still have a ways to go but I can honestly say that this challenge is by far the best thing I have ever done for my family! There have been a few days (mostly last week) that we have fallen off the wagon. The day after our fall is not pretty. We all ended up with a horrible stomach ache, was super tired, grumpy and just over all felt like we were hit by a mac truck. It wasn't pretty! lol
Thankfully it was just a few days but boy did I learn my lesson. I really REALLY need to make sure I stock up on some things for those days that are just beyond crazy. The cheater days were the nights where it was getting late, everyone was grumpy and hungry. I don't like those nights. This week I'm going to be doubling up on meals as I cook for those crazy days and freeze them.


Along with feeling pretty amazing (minus the cheater days) the hubby and I have lost some weight. Which is a really good thing. I really need to get rid of the last two years of what I like to call my hibernation winter weight. lol As of this morning, my husband is down around ten pounds and I'm down almost nine. WOOHOO! The goal is to lose around thirty pounds.. I got a way to go but I'm determined to get there!
