Determined

I have been on one of my determination streaks. I go through those every once in a while. Now that I have accomplished running a race, I am determined to get our family eating healthier. I have realized how much I bear the responsibility of our health since I buy and cook the food. Mom, I know you are so proud right now! I have started planning every meal a week ahead of time and I put everything on a weekly chart. I realized that I can make sure we eat healthier when I can think through every meal. I have also set aside one day a week to bake all our breads, snacks, and desserts for the week. I have tried hard to bake with more whole wheat flour and I was even able to put some spinach in one of our desserts. Yesterday was my baking day and it was extremely tiring and difficult with both kids on my leg, but I did it! I am not sure how Mark feels about all this, but I do know he will eat healthier because there is not another option unless he cooks or goes grocery shopping. I think his body will thank me later :)
