Some Changes

Hello again!  I wanted to share that I've been making some changes in my life.  As I have mentioned before, life has been busy.  It's been crazy!  There were some things that just needed to be worked on and one of them is my eating lifestyle.  

It just wasn't working out.  Things weren't going well with my family.  I think I was just trying to do too much for them.  I wanted them to eat like me and it wasn't working.  So things have been switched up a little bit. 

I was trying to get my family to eat a more gluten free vegan diet.  Like I said before, that wasn't working out!  Recipes weren't coming out good, they all missed certain foods, many food items were getting wasted, and too much money was being spent.  So I took a few steps back.  

I started drinking coffee again, some alcohol, and much more cooked foods.  Since starting a new job I have also incorporated some supplements to my life.  Exercise is very important to me, yet I wasn't doing it at all.  Recently, I've started incorporating that in.  

Overall, we're a happy family again.  I'm trying to work on more meals that can be shared and we all will enjoy.  This means that I'll just put aside what I want and fix it up how I want compared to everyone else.  For example, I don't want the meat in spaghetti so I'll just put some noodles and sauce to the side before the meat goes in.  It works!  

Also, instead of trying to force my family to do something they don't want to necessarily do, I will let them see my progress, educate them more in a proper way, let them see how good I feel overall.  Sometimes my husband will find something on the internet about factory farming and share it with me.  I end up telling him that that is another reason why I don't want to eat meat.  Not only is it sad for the animals to die and in the manner that they die (and live for that matter), but factory farming is just so wrong and corrupted.  It's so frustrating and I just don't want to be apart of it.  

I have to mention again how happy I am to have my blog back.  It's not like it got taken away or anything.  I just needed to take a few steps back is all.  I got a fresh restart!  This year for me is going to be great, I can just feel it!  I'm staying positive and motivated and look forward to all my adventures making progress!
