I feel like I have finally gotten the hang of the UN-Processed Life! It has been 63 days and just this week I feel like I have my life back! I mentioned in a earlier blog that not eating processed food was defiantly work! I also mentioned that it is defiantly worth it! This is by no means written to discourage you, I am just trying to be honest with you! I work full time and have been on-call nights and weekends 4 out of the 9 weeks! So between work, kids, family, and life in general, I feel like I have been spending most of my "free" time in the kitchen and if I am not in the kitchen I am at the grocery store! At times I have felt overwhelmed and thought I would never make it, but I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel! I now have a system worked out- between my grocery lists, meal planning, leftovers, making meals ahead for freezing and learning some recipes for what I like to call quick meals, I am happy and thankful to say it is all going much smoother! It has taken allot of work to get my kitchen and life organized! Learning to prepare ahead is defiantly worth it! I feel better and I feel better about what I am serving my children! I would encourage you to take the 10 Days of Real Food Challenge http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/take-the-10-day-pledge/ or the 100 Days of Real Food Challenge http://www.100daysofrealfood.com/original-100-day-pledge/ I personally did not sign up for either of these as I was already on this journey before My Sister sent me a link to Lisa's Blog! 63 days in I think it would have been nice to have been on some sort of program for encouragement and accountability! I highly recommend this blog for encouragement, tips, ideas, and best of all the recipes! So I guess at this point you are wondering why I put exercise in the title of this entry?? My point behind telling you all of the above was to let you know during all the work I have put into being UN-Processed I have been a slacker on exercising! On day 60 I started back with my exercise routine! I not only want to eat healthier I also want to be stronger and feel even better! Oh and I have the Kiawah Half Marathon coming up in December, no time like the present to start training! Wish me Luck!
As a side note, I am thankful for the New to Me refrigerator I was able to purchase about 2 weeks ago! In my planning and prepping I realized I needed more fridge and freezer space! Not only was this refrigerator bigger and matched my kitchen better, it was a great price! My old refrigerator is now it the garage for more storage! Thankful and Blessed!
