My Lifestyle Change

For all those who want to know....I am doing a very dramatic change. I have cut
out SUGAR completely (for now)...which includes store bought bread. I
have also cut out bread but not completely. I will only allow
myself...in the future... maybe once a week for my homemade
bread...which consists of wheat flour, honey, applesauce and olive oil
instead of white flour, sugar, eggs, and butter....but at the moment I
have cut all bread out too. I have hardly any dairy...one reason,
Lillie is allergic to COW projects and the other reason is that I
don't really need it. So, I don't eat cheese...I have cut down on
butter to maybe once a week...maybe a glass of milk every now and
then. I am still deciding if I am going to become a vegetarian or just
cut out pork and beef...sniff sniff...I love beef. Still thinking
about it...If all else I will have chicken mainly and once in a while
have some beef but I am cutting out pork completely. I am also cutting
out pasta for the most part..once in a while I will have some. As for
rice, I am going to brown rice even though white rice tastes SO MUCH
BETTER. :) I am staying away from popcorn too...even though I love oil
popped..but that is very fattening...so I will have some once in a
while. For my protein I am going to be eating beans instead of meat.
And then I am exercising...Monday thru Friday and on Saturdays, Jared
wants to go hiking every week as a family unless something comes up..
SO I am really only eating FRUITS and VEGGIES. I eat more veggies at
the moment till I can get a balance of the two and make sure I am
getting all my servings of vegetables a day. This past week I have only
eaten fruits and vegetables and today was my milk day...but I only had
2 small glasses. I have only been drinking a ton of WATER. I will be
bring in juice...as long as it doesn't have sugar or added
sweetener....I am thinking of making my own juices. So for me...this
is my dramatic change. Sure there will be an occasion or two that I
will not follow this exactly but this is what my lifestyle will be
looking like.

I know this is going to be hard...even now because of all the food I
make Nathan that is not on my menu..especially when it comes to bread
and pasta....but I know it will be well worth it and I will be heather
for it. And Lillie will be getting better leftovers. :D

Hope this helps
