Laundry detergent. We all use it. It's on the shopping list every month. But did you know that most commercial detergents are full of toxic chemicals? We wash our clothes with these chemicals and then wear them on our skin, inhaling their fragrance all day, every day. Sometimes I have been known to just smell clean laundry straight out of the dryer because it smells so "fresh!" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, commercial laundry detergent can get quite expensive! Tide averages about $0.12 per load. Cheaper brands such as Purex would be probably half that. This homemade detergent will cost you only $0.03 per load! That adds up, especially if you have a big family and are doing lots of laundry. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another interesting fact is that most commercial laundry detergents contain loads of fillers. A filler is something included just to add bulk or to make the other chemicals bind together better. Fillers can account for up to 45% of what is inside the detergent canister. Talk about wasting your money!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Common fillers include 1,4 dioxan (a synthetic carcinogen), gluten, alcohol, limestone, coloring, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So what can you do? If you can afford it, there are many "green" laundry detergent brands. However those tend to be prohibitively expensive for many people, myself included. I can only imagine my husband's reaction if I spent $30 on a bag of laundry detergent! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Alternatively, you can make your own for significantly less money. And it's not as complicated or time-consuming as you would think. It's a great project for kids to help with. If you have older kids, they could even do it themselves as part of their chores. </div>

<b>INGREDIENTS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2 bars - Fels Naptha soap ($1 each at Wal-Mart)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 cups - Borax </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 cups - Super Washing Soda</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3 cups - Baking Soda</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">

<b>PROCEDURE</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using a cheese grater, grate the Fels Naptha soap. Be careful because it looks just like cheddar cheese! Some unknowing passer-by may try to sneak a bite! </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Rest and true relaxation are super important, and often
under-estimated. Especially in today's world, we are constantly doing things, thinking about things, stressing about things -- most of us are in our "fight or flight" mode much more often than our bodies are intended to be. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Your body restores
itself, heals itself, rebuilds muscle, de-toxifies, and much more while you
sleep. Think about it – for thousands
of years, we went to bed with the sun.
Nowadays, it’s not unusual at all to still be awake past midnight! Numerous studies have shown that 7+ hours of
sleep reduces stress, reduces the risk of many chronic diseases and illnesses,
improve memory, and aid in weight loss.
Studies also show that many (if not most) Americans have trouble
sleeping. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Our bodies begin to get ready for sleep by producing a
hormone called melatonin.
Interestingly, when the sun sets and it begins to get darker, it
triggers our bodies to produce melatonin.
Isn’t it amazing how nature works together?! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Unfortunately, our screens and devices emit short-wave blue
light, which dramatically reduces the production of melatonin. A study showed that 1 hour of blue light at
night reduced melatonin back to daytime levels!! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I recommend installing an app called f.lux on your computer
and other devices. It is free. It will block the blue light and turn the
screen an orange-ish color at sunset. We
also have blue-blocking orange glasses to block the blue light from the
tv. And we even use red and orange
lightbulbs at night with the kids. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "cambria"; font-size: 12.0pt;">You do not have to make all these changes at
once. Simply turning off the screens an
hour before bed is a good start. </span><!--EndFragment--></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria";">For breakfast, we want to get out of the habit of eating quick cereals, toast, packaged oatmeal, or just skipping it all together! I understand the struggle of getting up and getting out the door early in the morning. But let's not sacrifice our health and start our day out with a sugar rush (and then a sugar crash!). Instead, I want you to start your day with protein and fat. Eggs are prefect --- nature's multivitamin! The yolks contain DHA fat, all of the fat-soluable vitamins (Vit A, D, K, and E), as well as folate, B6, B12, and many other nutrients. And the whites provide protein!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria";"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria";">These breakfasts will require a little more time and work, but if you plan ahead and get some of the prep work done the night before, you can still have a quick breakfast in the morning. And once you have been making a good breakfast for a few weeks, it will become second nature and not take as long to prepare. </span></div>

Cook oatmeal on stove for a few minutes, until hot and soft.

<b>Why soak it overnight? </b>
Grains of all kinds are difficult for us to digest due to the
anti-nutrients they contain. Anti-nutrients
are basically compounds that prohibit nutrients from being absorbed by the
body. Oatmeal actually has the highest
level of an anti-nutrient called phytic acid!
When oats are soaked overnight in an acidic medium, the toxins and
anti-nutrients are broken down and your body can then absorb the nutrients in
the oats. You will usually feel full for
longer when you eat soaked oatmeal as opposed to unsoaked. Up until World War II, it was the norm to
soak oatmeal overnight – Quaker Oats even came with an overnight soaking
packet! <o:p></o:p></div>

<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">I’m not a huge fan of
yogurt as a lot of people do not tolerate dairy very well and may not even
realize it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yogurt contains a good
amount of sugar and I prefer to start the day with protein and fat rather than
sugar.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, I understand that some
people do not like heavy meals early in the morning and would rather have
something light.<o:p></o:p></i></div>

<ul>
<li><u>Ingredients:</u></li>
<li>Full Fat Yogurt, preferably organic & preferable plain</li>
<ul>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Do not get the mainstream brands you find at the
store – Yoplait, Chobani, Fage, etc.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">They are typically low or no fat. They also usually contain added
sugars, preservative, flavors, etc.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: "wingdings"; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Kroger has a good brand of yogurt called
Dreaming Cow.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">It is full-fat, grass-fed,
and kind of locally made (made in Georgia).</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Aldi also sometimes has organic full-fat yogurt.</span></li>
<li><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">The fat (a) makes you feel full for longer, and
(b) acts as a buffer to the sugar that’s naturally found in yogurt, slowing the
sugar’s absorption into your blood stream.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">
</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">Without the fat, the sugar will immediately spike blood sugar.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;">With the fat, your blood sugar will rise and
fall more slowly.</span><span style="text-indent: -0.25in;"> </span></li>
</ul>
<li>Optional -- Fruit – berries, pineapple, banana, etc</li>
<li>Optional – homemade nut “granola” – almonds and cinnamon in
a blender until the texture of granola</li>

Honestly, I didn't feel like there has been much change in the last year. But when I look back at pictures, I can see the progress and it is really encouraging. <br />
<br />
Taking pictures of yourself is awkward, but I highly recommend it! It is a great way to keep track of your progress -- much better than the scale! <br />

<br />
The first thing I did when I started trying to be healthy was to drink water.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Why drink water? </span></b><br />
<ul>
<li>Over 50% of your body is water. Blood = 93% water; Muscle = 73%; and Fat = 10% <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(<a href="http://robbwolf.com/2012/07/11/water-water-everywhere-need/" target="_blank">Source</a>)</span></li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>You lose water every time you breathe, sweat, cough, cry, use the bathroom, etc. It must be replenished.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Water is necessary to digest food and transport vitamins/minerals throughout your body. </li>
</ul>
<br />
I started drinking a gallon of water a day, and did that for
several months.<br />
Why a gallon a day?<br />
I have no idea, that just sounded
like a nice, even amount to aim for.<br />
A gallon/day is not necessarily
the right amount for everyone, though, and I don't recommend anyone
blindly start drinking that amount.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>Anecdotal Evidence</u> -- My whole childhood, I had severe <i>headaches</i>. I remember having them as young as 8 years old. In law school, I got a headache<i> between 3 and 3:30 pm</i> literally every day. These headaches <b>disappeared </b>when I started drinking more water and now I rarely have headaches. <br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">How Much Water Should We Drink?</span></b><br />
<br />
You've probably heard the<i> "8 by 8 Rule"</i>... Drink 8 oz of water 8 times throughout the day.<br />
<br />
Jillian Michaels (love her!) recommends <i>128 ounces for men and 88 ounces for women</i>. <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://www.everydayhealth.com/fitness-specialist/how-much-water.aspx" target="_blank">(source)</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Some people say that if you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated and you should continuously drink water to avoid feeling thirsty. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">These are all fine recommendations, but what I tend to apply is...</span><br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: small;">The "Urine Test." </span></b><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">What color is your urine?</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">You want it to be the <i>color of lemonade.</i> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Not clear. Not the color of apple juice. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">If it's too light, drink less water. If it's too dark, drink more water. </span> </span> <br />
<br />
There are times, however, that you may need to drink more water to compensate for greater than usual water loss. <br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>When Should You Drink Extra Water?</u><br />
-- <i>physical activity</i> for 2+ hours<br />
-- spending a lot of time <i>outside </i><br />
<i> </i>(ie at beach, gardening, hiking, etc)<br />
-- you are <i>breastfeeding</i><br />
-- you are <i>constipated</i><br />
-- you are running a <i>fever</i> <br />
<br />
If any of these apply, just drink a little bit more water than you feel is necessary.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">What NOT to Drink...</span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. <u>Soda or Sweet Tea</u></span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>A can of Mtn Dew has <i>46 grams of sugar</i>. That's about <b>12 teaspoons</b> of sugar. In ONE CAN. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>A can of Dr Pepper has <i>40 grams of sugar</i>. That's about <b>10 teaspoons </b>of sugar. </li>
</ul>
The sugar is in the form of <u><span style="font-size: small;">high fructose corn syrup</span></u>.<br />
<br />
There are <u>3 forms of sugar</u>: <b>glucose, fructose, and sucrose.</b><br />
<u>Glucose </u>is the only type of sugar that <i>our bodies need</i>, and our bodies are designed to produce glucose if we do not consume any.<br />
<u>Fructose </u>is they type of sugar found in <i>fruits</i>.<br />
<u>Sucrose </u>is<i> table sugar</i>, like you would bake with.<br />
<br />
<b>Why is High Fructose Corn Syrup Bad?</b><br />
<ol>
<li>Makes food/drinks more tasty, making it more likely that you will overeat.</li>
<li>Spikes your blood sugar. What goes up must come crashing down, leaving you feeling tired, lethargic, and reaching for another soda to boost you back up. This can cause sugar addiction. It can also cause insulin resistance (i.e. Diabetes). </li>
<li>Cancer cells feed on sugar.</li>
<li>Sugar leaches your body of necessary vitamins and minerals such as calcium (think: osteoporosis)</li>
<li>Unabsorbed fructose remains in your gut to ferment, which can lead to candida, leaky gut, irritable bowel syndrome, and other digestive issues. </li>
<li>Unlike glucose and sucrose, fructose is metabolized directly by your liver. Consuming lots of fructose puts strain on your liver, which can lead to liver disease. In fact, consuming HFCS can have the same effect on your liver as alcohol. <span style="font-size: xx-small;"><a href="http://www.ancestralizeme.com/the-biochemistry-of-high-fructose-corn-syrup/" target="_blank"> (Source) </a></span></li>
<li>If you don't immediately metabolize the 40+ grams of sugar you just consumed, your body will store it as fat.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. <u>Diet Soda</u> </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>Why do people drink Diet Soda? </i>Usually because it has<b> less sugar </b>and therefore fewer calories. But what replaces the sugar? <b>Artificial Sweeteners! </b> These<i> are not ok! </i> They are man-made, chemically altered substances. They have little to no calories because <i>your body is not able to process them</i>, not because they are healthy or nourishing. All types of artificial sweeteners have been <i>linked to health issues</i>. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Artificial sweetener are bad because they mess with our metabolism and our taste buds. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">First, artificial sweeteners <i>trip your body's desire for sweetness without actually satisfying it.</i> Artificial sweeteners are actually 600 times sweeter that real sugar. But consuming them doesn't satisfy our sugar cravins because our bodies cannot absorb the product (hence the zero calories). So after the diet soda, we are still left craving something sweet. Recent studies shows that <b>people who drink Diet Sodas actually end up eating more than people who drink regular Soda. </b> And what do you think we're eating after the diet soda? A piece of fruit? Unlikely. We get used to that super-sweet taste, which makes us need that higher level of sweetness to be satisfied. Therefore, natural sugars (such as fruit or honey) don't taste sweet enough for us. So we grab some chips, cookies, or Little Debbies. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Second, these sweeteners affect our metabolism, which is the process by which our bodies take what we eat and turn it into energy. The additives used in artificial sweeteners actually alter the way our body metabolizes the sweeteners. Instead of operating as they are supposed to, our cells start wigging out and releasing a type of molecule that is linked to inflammation, obesity, and other chronic diseases.

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Articial Sweeteners to Avoid:</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Sweet n Low</span></span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. <u>Fruit Juice</u></span><br />
Fruit juice is just concentrated fructose. Avoid it for the same reasons you avoid the HFCS in soda. <br />
Instead of drinking your fruit, eat it. Then you will get all the vitamins and nutrients from the fruit itself. Including fiber, which helps your body (especially your liver) process the fructose. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. <u>Sports Drinks & Flavored Water</u></span><br />
<br />
Nothing good about them. Just avoid them and drink water! There's nothing nourishing about them, they are filled with artificial colors, sweeteners, and preservatives.<br />
<br />
Here's the labels for Gatorade and Vitamin Water...<br />

<br />
Interesting factoid about <b><span style="font-size: large;">Vitamin Water</span></b>. They were <u>sued </u>recently <u>for deceptive labeling</u>; allegedly their advertising campaigns stated that the drink was healthy. As part of its defense, <b>Coca-Cola stated that "no reasonable consumer" would believe that Vitamin Water was healthy.</b> <i>Hmmm</i>. So they advertise the drink as being a healthy product designed for athletes, but then when pressed, they say that no reasonable person would believe that advertising. In my opinion, naming the drink "Vitamin Water" is misleading and deceptive considering the amount of sugar, additives, and artificial chemicals that are used. <br />

<u><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></u>
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;"><br />So, How Do I Quit Drinking These Things?</span></b></u><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>1. Identify your triggers. When do you crave these drinks? </b><br />
When it's hot outside?<br />
When you're driving in the car?<br />
When you finally settle down for the evening?<br />
When you're eating salty foods?<br />
<br />
<b>2. Recognize why you crave them.</b><br />
Your physical body does not <i>need</i> these drinks. Rather, consuming these drinks over time has changed your brain chemistry and metabolism. Your brain is telling you that your body <i>wants</i> the influx of sugar that it is used getting.<br />
<br />
So when you start to reach for a sugary drink, think to yourself "My body does not need this, but my brain wants it." Then you will be able to make an informed decision as to whether or not you drink the drink.<br />
<br />
<b>3. Start slowly. </b><br />
You do not need to immediately replace all sugary drinks with water. That type of dramatic change is usually the result of an emotional decision, will result in extreme cravings, and is not likely to be sustainable over time. Instead, slowly decrease the amount of sugary drinks and increase the amount of water.<br />
<br />
So, if you typically drink 4 sodas per day, start by reducing that to 3 sodas and 1 bottle of water per day. Then next week, reduce it to 2 sodas and 2 bottles of water. And so on until you have cut out soda and drink mostly water.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Questions to Ponder... Leave a Comment Below! </b></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. What sugary drink do you crave? When do you crave it?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. What do you think about the Vitamin Water lawsuit? </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Do you think a reasonable person could believe the Vitamin Water is healthy based on Coca-Cola's marketing?</span><br />

Tired of feeling <b>lethargic</b>?<br />
Of not having the <b>energy </b>or <b>desire </b>to do any physical activity?<br />
Want to be able to <i>play with your kids</i> or grandkids<br />
without experiencing pain or exhaustion afterwards?<br />
Tired of spending most of the day thinking about when and what you're going to eat next? <br />
Growing older and starting to feel the <b>aches & pains</b>, <b>brain fog</b>, and other ailments that society has told us are "normal" and just a part of the aging process? <br />
<br />
If so, I totally understand. I've been there. And sometimes I still have days when I feel all of these things.<br />
<br />
There is <b>hope</b>; there is a way to make all of this go away, no matter what age or stage of life you are in.<br />
Of course, we will still grow older, but we can do it with significantly less pain and discomfort if we change certain aspects of our lives.<br />
<br />
<b>It's not easy, but it is SO worth it! </b><br />
<br />
This is going to be a blog series detailing some of the changes I've made in my life in the last few years. I want to give you the steps to take, the "why" behind each step, and the way that each step can change your life.<br />
<br />
I changed my lifestyle habits a little bit at a time,<br />
and am still changing!<br />
<br />
Some people may prefer to go "cold turkey" and change everything all at once. If that suits your personality and you can sustain such drastic change, more power to you and I'd love to hear about your experience.<br />
<br />
However, that is not what I've done.<br />
I have made many small changes over the course of the last 4 years and am still learning and tweaking different things today. So therefore, all I can write about is incremental change as I have no experience with drastic, "cold turkey" type of change. <br />
<br />
That being said, <i>I am not a dietician or personal trainer</i>. I have no medical training or licenses. I am just a regular mom and wife who has done a ton or research in the last few years. I've read dozens of books, listened to hundreds of podcasts, and read a boat-load of blogs.<br />
<br />
I don't profess to know everything (or anywhere <i>near</i> everything) about health and fitness.<br />
<br />
But I do know what has worked for me. And I want to share that with you.<br />
<br />
You may not have the time or desire to read articles or listen to podcasts, so I want to summarize and condense what I have learned so that you can have the information without the burden of doing the research. <br />
<br />
<i>Please, if you have any physical issues or any hesitations whatsoever, disregard what I say and ask for your doctor's advice.</i><br />
<br />
That is my disclaimer.<br />
Because I'm a lawyer.<br />
And that's how I roll. <br />
<br />
And please ignore all my comma splices.<br />
I always, overuse, commas.<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;"><b><u>Step 1. Find Your Motivation! </u></b></span><br />
<br />
There are 2 types of motivation -- <b>intrinsic </b>and <b>extrinsic</b>.<br />
<br />
<u>Intrinsic motivation</u> is when you desire a goal in and of itself. The achievement of that goal is sufficient enough to motivate you to work towards that goal.<br />
<u>Extrinsic motivation</u> is when you work towards a goal in order to achieve a reward upon completion of the goal.<br />
The <i>carrot on a stick</i> scenario.<br />
You do not desire to do the work, but instead are motivated by the chance to get the reward. Doing the work is simply a means to an end.<br />
When you get the reward, the work stops. <br />
<br />
Does this make sense?<br />
<br />
Let's look at an example -- <u>Physical Fitness</u>.<br />
<br />
<b>Intrinsic Motivation</b> -- You want to exercise because you enjoy the exercise and its immediate effects.<br />
You enjoy the type of exercise that you do... <br />
You like to challenge your body... <br />
You feel healthier and more energetic after working out... <br />
Staying fit allows you to enjoy other daily activities...<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Extrinsic Motivation</b> --You want to exercise in order to achieve a certain goal. <br />
You want to fit into skinny jeans...<br />
You want to make the football team...<br />
You want giant biceps...<br />
You don't want a muffin top...<br />
You want to lose fat...<br />
You want to improve your health...<br />
You want to avoid chronic diseases or illness... <br />
<br />
Which one is better?<br />
<br />
I think that extrinsic motivation can definitely be useful, but that <b>intrinsic motivation</b> <b>is necessary to maintain your fitness throughout your whole life. </b>To have a healthy lifestyle, you must actually enjoy the physical activity that you choose to do. <br />
<br />
So... What motivates you? Why do you want to be healthy? What <b>benefits </b>will you reap if you are healthy and fit?<br />
<br />
Here's<b><i> my intrinsic motivation </i></b>-- I actually <u>enjoy</u> the type of exercising that I do. I enjoy lifting weights. I like to challenge myself and see if I can lift heavier things this week than last week. I went through a phase where I thought the best exercise was running. So I tried to force myself to be a runner. Needless to say, exercising was a burden and I didn't stick with it. Now that I found something I enjoy, I actually look forward to going to the gym. <br />
<br />
Also, I like the way exercising makes me feel. Exercising gives me <u>energy </u>to take care of my family. It allows me some "alone time," time to think and be consumed by my own thoughts. <br />
<br />
<b><i>My extrinsic motivation </i></b>-- Exercising decreases my chances of getting a <u>chronic illness</u>. Increases my chances of being an <u>active senior citizen</u> when that time comes. I want to do everything in my power to make sure that when I'm old, I am still <u>physically and mentally sharp</u>.<br />
<br />
Also, a superficial extrinsic motivator is to be the <u>hottest chick in the room</u>. (Not that I ever <i>am</i> the hottest chick in the room, but that's sometimes my goal...) I hate to admit it; I try not to concentrate on this and tell myself that physical appearance doesn't matter. But I'm human, self-conscious, and grew up in a media-induced, sex-crazed world where we are bombarded with images of perfect looking women everyday. That is my struggle. <br />
<br />

The rest will be shorter and more practical.<br />

It's been about 2 months since my last update, so I guess it's time to check in again. By looking at the pictures, it doesn't seem like much has changed in the last several months. Kind of discouraging. However, I feel very different. I feel stronger than I was in July and I also feel healthier. Been doing pretty well eating clean. <br />

<br />
So overall, I am happy with where I am at. I definitely feel like I'm in the best shape that I've ever been in. The scale says I'm at 108 lbs, but I find that hard to believe. I feel like I'm closer to 120. There's a new scale at the gym that I might try next time and see what that one says. The number itself doesn't matter very much to me, but it is interesting. I have actually been trying to gain weight the last 5-6 weeks, trying to add muscle, so I was very surprised to see 108. <br />
<br />
I didn't take my measurements this time, but I probably will do that in the next few days. <br />

This is my fourth month updating my progress. Baby is now 5-1/2 months old. Not much noticeable change. This may be the last time I post a monthly update. I am pretty happy with where I'm at and there probably won't be much change on a month-to-month basis. I am going to shift my focus from losing fat to building muscle. And hopefully eradicate that belly fat with a change in eating habits. I may update every 3 months or so, just so I'm at least accountable and still able to track my progress over time.</div>

For dinner, we went to a Mexican restaurant to celebrate my Dad's 50th birthday. I knew this was going to be a challenge because I usually pig out on chips and queso dip. And sweet tea. I planned ahead and made chicken salad to eat before going there so that I would not be very hungry right when we arrived. I also just made my mind up that I was going to stick to the 21 DSD. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was worried about being tempted by the cake, though. It was from Publix and they have the BEST cakes. However, my baby helped me with that problem because he got fussy and we had to leave before the cake was brought out. Temptation avoided.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had ordered a steak with peppers & onions, but I left before it came out. My parents brought it to me just a while ago, that is why dinner is so late tonight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I had my first taste of fruit today! The 21DSD recommends a green apple or a green-tipped banana everyday. I wanted to go at least 3 days without any sugar at all just to get my body acclimated. Today I ate a few slices of an apple, and it was SOO good. It did taste sweeter than usual. Not sure if that's due to the sugar detox or to the fact that it was a local, organic apple and I usually just get regular apples. </div>

I woke up before 7:30 am and felt well-rested. We got up and went to the gym. I had plenty of energy for my workout. We then went to pick strawberries with some friends. I was almost tempted to eat a few strawberries -- they looked SO juicy and perfect! I also survived my first trip to the grocery store since starting the detox. I had to run into Kroger and was immediately met with the aroma of freshly baked pastries. And they had all the specialty desserts and cakes laid out for Mother's Day. I tried not to look at them. :-) <br />
<br />
<u>Breakfast</u><br />
Same as yesterday -- eggs. sausage, 1/2 sweet potato<br />
<br />
<u>Snack</u><br />
Some nuts and carrots after my workout. I usually eat deli meat after my workouts, but I don't have any this month. <br />
<br />
<u>Lunch</u><br />
B.L.T (no bread) SOOO good. The other 1/2 of my sweet potato<br />
<br />
<u>Snack</u><br />
More nuts, carrots, cucumbers<br />
<br />
<u>Dinner</u><br />
Haven't eaten yet, but it will be leftovers from last night's dinner. <br />
<br />
I didn't eat as much as I usually do, so I ended up with a mild headache around 6pm. We were out and about all day and I didn't pack enough food in the cooler. I need to start making jerkey a couple times a month so that I have something quick to take in the car. <br />

This was my first time using free-range chicken breasts. I got them for $10-ish per pound at Whole Foods. I have never bought them before because of how expensive they are. Kroger brand chicken breast is usually only $1.99/lb. That's a BIG difference. I wish I could afford to buy exclusively free-range chicken because there is a very noticeable difference in the quality of the meat. I didn't notice a big difference in taste, but the free-range chicken breasts were a deeper pink color versus the white-ish colored chicken at Kroger. The free-range chicken was also softer and more tender to the touch and much easier to cut through with a knife.</div>

<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">- DAY 1 -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: x-small;">May 6, 2013</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Day 1 was fairly easy. I had a few sugar cravings, but nothing too bad. Not much to say about Day 1.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: purple; font-size: large;">- DAY 2 -</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Day 2 was really hard. I woke up with a headache that would not go away! Sugar withdrawals, I guess. All day, I just felt unsatisfied. I just wanted something to eat, but couldn't put my finger on what it was. I guess I just wanted to munch and snack. This was a bad day for me, I hated feeling that way.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I got a good night's rest, which is rare in my house. I woke up raring to go, and my headache was GONE! Yay! I have had hardly any sugar cravings. Right after lunch and right after dinner, I had the urge to grab something sweet. Old habits die hard. But once I ignored the craving and got busy doing other stuff, I forgot about it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

We went on a long walk around town this morning. Then after we finished school work, we went on another walk about twice as long as the first. After that, I just felt like I had a surplus of energy that I needed to get out, so I did a quick work-out while the baby napped in the stroller. It was a nice day. </div>

I love Dianne, she is chock full of useful info regarding health and nutrition. She and Liz Wolf (<a href="http://cavegirleats.com/" target="_blank">Cavegirl Eats</a>) have a podcast that I listen to a lot, and I always hear them talking about Dianne's program, the 21 Day Sugar Detox. I thought about doing it a few months ago, but decided not to. I didn't want to pay the $21 <br />
for the kit because I don't eat that much sugar. Or so I thought... Fast forward to this past Sunday when I decided to fork out the $21 and start the program. <br />

</tbody></table>
Over the last few weeks, I have been allowing myself more and more treats. Sugary treats. To the point that I was eating some kind of candy/chocolate nearly every day. It started off innoculous enough with a Trader Joe's 75% Cacoa chocolate bar. Then, I made brownies with fudge icing and ate half the dish in one night. Then my grandma came to town and brought her famous sugar cookies and I decided to have one... or seven. Then I made more brownies and ate half the dish while skyping with my husband. Then I bought a few bags of chocolate chips and at them all within a week. Then I made more brownies... you get the idea. <br />
<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, I think I am addicted to sugar. I can't just have a little bit like some people can. I have realized that I cannot rely on my own will-power at this point. I must completely eliminate sugar long enough to let my body re-group. I hate the way I feel after I binge on sugar, or even after I eat just a little. I feel sluggish and lethargic. I have no energy or motivation the rest of the day. <br />
<br />
So anyway, yesterday was my first day. It went fine. I am used to eating pretty clean (other than my increasingly prevalent "treats"). <br />
<br />
However, in the middle of the night I woke up with a headache. The headache stayed around all day today. I guess I am more dependent on sugar than I thought. Though I don't typically eat candy/chocolate everyday, I do usually have a couple servings of fruit everyday. And raisins. I love raisins. I'm really hoping this headache goes away by the morning. <br />
<br />
Hopefully I can stick it out all 21 days. I really need to do this as a way to reset my body. I have fooled myself into thinking that I am healthy because I follow a predominately "Paleo" template. I have been following the 80/20 rule (although sometimes it's more like 70/30), but I want it to be more like 95/5 (95% clean eating, 5% treats). And I want the 5% of treats to be a healthier kind of treat. No more binging on brownies! <br />
<br />
I will try to log my progress on the blog. I will also take before/after pictures to see if there's any change in body composition. <br />

had something on the schedule every single weekend! I am hoping to
make up for it by keeping May relatively low key.<br />
<br />
<br />
We started off the month with a giant, community-wide Easter Egg Hunt that our church puts on every year.
Eva had a blast with her friends. It's a little overwhelming for me,
since my introverted nature doesn't do well in big crowds. But Eva is a
bona fide extrovert and thrives at events like these. <br />

The next weekend, we went on a tour of a local farm, <a href="http://wil-moorefarms.com/" target="_blank">Wil-Moore Farm</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We regularly buy butter and eggs that were produced on their farm, so it was fun to see where they come from. We also bought some ground beef and milk from them during the tour.</div>

The weekend after that, we went to see Disney on Ice with some friends. I don't have any pictures from that, though. The next weekend was Eva's birthday party. She wanted to go to Monkey Joe's to play, followed by lunch at a Mexican restaurant and frozen yogurt at Sweet Frog.</div>

A few days later, we decided to make a day trip to Charleston, SC. I love this town. I considered going to the College of Charleston, and I kind of wish that I would have! Maybe Eva will...</div>

The last weekend in April was the USMC Mud Run. My dad, brother, and brother-in-law ran it with me and we had a blast! It is a 10k trail through the woods with 36 obstacles to complete.</div>

Eva did the kid version and loved it. This will definitely be something we do every year!</div>

I never got around to updating the blog in April, but I did take the pics. April was a very busy month at our house. Hopefully May will be more chill.<br />

Not much changed in March. That is to be expected, though. As I get smaller, it will become harder and harder to lose pounds. My body is happy in the 130s. It likes to have a little pudginess around the mid-section. In order to get past this point and continue to lose the last little bit of fat, I'm going to have to get my nutrition on point. And honestly, I'm not sure how much I'm willing to sacrifice to get there. If I get really gung-ho and eat strict paleo, I think I could lose the belly fat really quickly. Or I could eat 90% clean and 10% chocolate/sugar and take longer to get to where I want to be. I'm not too worried about it, I feel like I'm in a good place right now. <br />

Here's the pics and measurements. Interesting to see how my hair has grown a bit! So I am down to 135 lb, which is the same weight I was at my wedding. Yay! Even though it's the same number, my body composition is different... I'm still a bit more flabby and less muscle-y than I was. But I have definitely seen some changes in the last few weeks and am steadily getting stronger. <br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">What I did this month... </span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="color: #f1c232;"><b>1. Joined a gym!</b> </span> The gym that my husband and I had been going to for the last year closed right after I had the baby, so I decided to join a new gym. For the first few weeks, I was trying to exercise at home because I could not find a gym that was a good price, had childcare, and was close to home. Exercising at home proved to be difficult, though. By the time I got in my workout clothes, the baby needed to be fed, and I had to change out of the tight workout shirt in order to feed him. And my work outs were interrupted several times to tend to the children, so it was nearly impossible for me to get my heart rate up for more than a few minutes at a time. Thankfully, I found a gym that is perfect for us. It is a small family-owned place, which was important to me. The employees there really care about their clients and are very knowledgeable about diet and exercise. It also has childcare that accepts kids of all ages. Many other gyms would only accept babies at least 6 mos old and would not accept school-aged kids during the day. Since I homeschool my 7 year old, I needed a place that would keep her while I worked out. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">2. Nutrition was on point! </span></b> Mostly meats, veggies, fats, and a little bit of fruit. I thought this was going to be really hard, but I feel so much better when I eat clean that I don't even want much processed food anymore. Really the only time I ate junk food was when my husband "cooked" dinner for me one night -- frozen pizza and ice cream. It was a nice treat and I managed not to over-eat, so I didn't feel horrible afterwards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">3. No more fast food!</span> </b> I can't even remember the last time I had fast food -- over a month, I guess. We used to stop by Mc D's or Chick-fil-a after my daughter's gymnastics once a week. The last several weeks, however, I just take the extra time before we leave the house to pack a cooler. Usually turkey, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and grapes. Those are my go-to travel foods because you don't need silverware and they don't leave a mess. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #f1c232;">4. Lots of water. </span></b> I have been drinking about a gallon per day for the last 3 years. It really makes a difference. During law school, I would get a headache everyday around 3:30. I thought it was just from doing so much reading and thinking throughout the day. But when I increased my water intake, the headaches immediately went away. Yay! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<br />
I'm hoping to start posting more consistently, tracking my progress losing the weight I gained with my recent pregnancy. I am mainly using this blog as a personal journal to document my life. It may not be interesting to many other people, but I want to have a place where I can record the funny things my daughter says and the cute pictures I take of the kids. <br />
<br />
I am also planning to document what I eat and how I exercise in hopes that it will be a form of accountability and help me stay on track while I try to return to the level of fitness I was before my pregnancy. <br />
<br />
Before I got pregnant, I was the healthiest I had ever been. I exercised 4-5 times a week and was doing pretty well eating Paleo. <br />

During the pregnancy, I continued to exercise at the same level. Around month 5, however, I started feeling pain in my pelvic bone after I would jump rope or run. So I quit running and jumping rope, but still did HIIT on the elliptical, as well as circuit strength training. <br />

<br />Midway through month 7, I started feeling the pelvic pain anytime I would exercise at all. Even just walking around the office at work would be painful. So I decided to quit exercising because I did not want to risk injuring myself or the baby. Unfortunately, I began eating less healthy as well. I worked close to a Chick-Fil-A... <br />

So in total, I gained 50 lbs during the pregnancy. I started out at 120 lbs and ended up at 170 lbs. <br />
The first few weeks after my son was born I continued to eat fairly unhealthy. It's hard to get to the grocery store or find time to prepare meals with a newborn! Excuses, excuses... <br />
<br />
I am now at 150 lbs. 8 weeks postpartum. <br />
<br />
Here are my "before" pictures. I hope to update the progress pictures each month. These were taken 2 weeks ago. Since then, I have been much more conscious about what I am eating and have been way more consistent in my exercise. <br />

You know, "love is patient, love is kind...." I got this lesson from a couple of really awesome homeschooling blogs. It was supposed to be a Valentine's Day lesson, but due to recent incidents, I felt Eva could you a refresher course on how to love others ;-) <br /><br />All day, the song by Toby Mac was running through my head: "This is love calling..." However, Eva has acute lyricosis, and she sings the song "Mrs. Love is calling..." Hence, the name of this post. <br /><br />So anyway, I told her about the lesson the night before, and she was really excited about it! She usually is not very eager to do homeschooling, but on this day, she came and woke me up asking when we were going to do school! I think I am going to start doing more themed lessons, since she loves it so much.<br /><br />Here are some pictures from our Love Day:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjalbcHVU8l7BXE8oYqkjx8kNw7c3QC7P2KPquxW5Rd68o3BCz4qEa1aeliz_FPGEUSJO625RYkfTmhNNrlBn8YflXOQ4X449yqVR8w-6U279ySg2n6-8fLwlwXk3y0KDQ8OPfqRugOqUa5/s1600/IMG_9037+small.jpg"><img style="display:block;

This is great, because we can all exchange recipes real easily. <br />(go to my sista's blog: http://www.bloggingbutter.blogspot.com/ It totally rocks, she's a great writer, just like our mommy!)<br /><br />So, my first recipe is Mimi Hyde's Macaroni n Cheese. It's really yum. But before I get started on the recipe, let me tell you about Mimi Hyde! Mimi Hyde was my mom's sister's husband's mom. My cousins' grandma. Both she and her husband were so very sweet! Everytime we saw them, they had kind words to say and they were both always smiling, even when they were in physical pain. They both passed away several years ago, but I will always remember how they were filled with joy and with love for God!<br /><br /><br />So, here's the recipe:<br /><br />1/2 lb elbow macaroni<br />4 tbsp butter<br />Dash of tobasco sauce<br />12 oz can of evaporated milk <br />2 eggs, beaten<br />1 tsp dry mustard, dissolved in a little water <br />1 lb sharp cheddar cheese, grated<br />salt & pepper to taste<br /><br />Heat oven to 350*<br />Boil Macaroni.<br />Drain and toss with butter in large bow.<br />Mix tobasco sauce in with evaporated milk. <br />Stir milk mixture into noodles. <br />Add the eggs, cheese, & mustard.<br />Season with salt n peppa<br />Place in baking disch.<br />Bake uncovered 30-40 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time.<br /><br />And... TA-DA! you will have some very tasty mac n cheese!Patti S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/12764408104151029821noreply@blogger.com0
