Still keeping pretty close to all Organics at home. We have ate out more than we should since we stopped, and boy have I payed for it.  But at home, I try to stay in the organic field. I do have a few things that we can't find organic that I have broght back in, only because we had a limited food menu with what we could get around here and my limited cooking experiance.

4 weeks done.

Today was 4 weeks done. It has been an interesting and enjoyable ride. We will be going to about half organic now. Mostly organic at home and better choices out.

Ate out 4 times in the last week. Tried to make better choices, but we did gain. Its crazy how easy it is to put it back on.

But at the end of 4 weeks of organic what we have gone down is:

Shawn: 4 lbs
Andrea: 4.4 lbs
Thomas: 2.8 lbs
Mikayla 1.4 lbs
Patricia 1.1 lbs

Like I said we are going to use this as a lifestyle change. We won't be doing Burger Joints except for occasionly (and when McRibs are here). We will mostly be visiting sit down places where they actully cook the food or places like Subway where we can get better choices.

Now I will be working more on serving sizes and teaching the kids how they don't have to have ALOT of everything at one time. That should be interesting.

I have lost almost 10 lbs this month. Just from switching to better foods. I am so happy.

Today we were at a funeral and stayed to eat with the family. I got so sick after, eating regular food. Thomas did also, tho he kinda pigged out even tho I told him not to. Was very interesting the way it worked tho.  Showed me how much different foods affect your body.

Last week

We are almost there. Yayyyyy.

We did have to kinda cheat. We went out to get groceries on Saturday and it took way longer than planned. So we went to the grocery store deli and picked out the best  that we could and had water.

Today we went to subway and picked up subs and that was it.

Week 2

We made it half way thru!!!!! Yea!!!!!!!!   Its getting much easier. Its habit now that when we head to town, we pack snacks and water so we dont' have to stop and buy yucky stuff. lol

Did our weigh in. Shawn, Thomas and Mikayla are all the same weight. I gained a bit from water gain, (yuck), patricia gained a bit and she should have after loosing to much last week. We are all doing good. Very excited to do on with this life style. But I could use an ice cream cone. :)

Went to HyVee tonight to pick up a few things and a sweet lady let me know that the first friday of each month you get 10% off in the organic section. Woohoo!!!!!!!!! With that, and a couple of coupons, I was able to walk out with $2 still in my wallet.  Guess  when I will be heading back to that store. :)

Tough day

Day 11. I WANT A DR. PEPPER SO BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!! A Pepsi would work also. lol  I know it is emotional. Having a bad day, cranky kids, that kind of stuff. I don't "need" one, but man I "want" one super bad. I think one drink and I will be fine. If that is'nt addiction, than I don't know what is. Funny and sad all at the same time really.  More sad than funny the more I think about it. I know I will make it thru the day, if nothing else, the sadness that Shawn would have to find out I had one, will keep me from jumping in the truck and racing to the pop machine in wonderful Coleta, or begging my bro in law to pick one up for me. :)

I WILL SURVIVE, YES I WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
