The Very Beginning

I finally feel like I have something to blog about!  Can I tell you how excited I am to start my journey to a healthier me!?!  First I should tell you a little about me.  My family is currently surviving (note: I did not use the word "living") on federal grants and my part-time employment at Logan City School District.  To spare you the details, let me just say that money is tight.  My girls are ages 4 and 6.  I am blessed to have a family who has all stated that they will support me in this endeavor.  In fact my husband keeps saying, "I have been telling you that for years now!"  In my defense,  it has not been years, just months.  

I am going to prove that you can get your whole family eating healthy (super healthy) on a budget, with a busy life, and with young children.  I am not starting with 100% action, but with education. My first step in this process is going to find knowledge of foods and their nutrition.  My goal is to know WHAT IS THE FOOD I EAT DOING FOR MY BODY.  Of course this means no more processed foods for me. I know that over time it will introduce a whole new food world (new for me that is).  

I want to invite you to join me on this journey.  Only good can come from it.

I added this picture of my family just for fun.  After I realize my healthy self, I will no longer look so full and soft.
