Healthy Eating


In search for a healthy change in our diets, I bought a healthy eating book...a very insightful book on eating by the way....So, to put the healthy ideas into practice, I excitedly rushed to the grocery store to buy things like "Kale", and "Collard Greens", "Wheat Germ", and "Flax Seed", lentils, nuts, and tons and tons of Romaine lettuce. The results: Samuel lost 4 lbs...woohoo...and the kids, well, let's just say they had a hard time eating the split GREEN pea soup I made last night:) I must admit, it didn't look too appetizing...I'll take green eggs and ham over green mush any day:) To illustrate even further for lunch today, the following conversation occurred... Me: Grant, you need to sit there in your chair until you finish your salad. Grant: uhhhhh..........Thirty minutes later, this is what I found....a full plate and a sleeping boy....sweet Grant, he finished it forty-five minutes later when he awoke:)

Ahh! Great story! Reminds me of the milk jug asleep photo mom has! Eating healthy, yeah? That's exciting.. and four pounds.. that's serious. So what book is this? I have been wanting to change our diets.

You know, there is only so much taco salad a woman can eat. : )
