Sick of being sick....
I have been very sick over the last few days but am slowly regaining my strength back and should be back to normal by tomorrow or Friday! Thanks for all of your prayers! I felt the Lord touch me on Monday...and he also inoculated the kids and Brent from getting any part of this junk. Sometime over the weekend we decided to crack down on our nutrition and the kids and to start forcing a more balanced and healthier diet for all of us. I think to date I really try to do a good job of fixing meals that are healthy(we rarely eat out for lunch unless it is after church). I have noticed that I have fallen into a rut and had seen Caleb's appetite decrease and he has been teething off and on which definitely affects his palette. Brent was concerned about how much he was eating....you know then I started examining things and here we are day one of REALLY HEALTHY EATING....We have put the kids both on some organic vitamins a few months ago, now we are incorporating a smoothie with whey protein and immunity booster once a day to their diet filled of course with fruit and yogurt or juice, and offering them more healthy snacks. I feel they aren't the pickiest of eaters and they do love alot of healthy things but I just would like to try a little harder as I feel this area is so important for theirs and our health overall. Day 1: Breakfast- cereal with milk for both kids. Halle had hers with OJ and grapes, Caleb a banana and Apple Juice. I ate Raisin bran. Around 11:20am they both come in hungry for something so I start fixing some lunch. Caleb eats 3 more bananas while waiting for 4 strips of bacon, and a huge bowl of Chicken and Stars soup. Then he downs an entire adult sized yogurt and tops it off with a 10oz. smoothie with fresh fruit, whey protein, and immunity boost! Halle eats a plateful of raw carrots with ranch(her favorite), a huge bowl of the soup as well, 2 strips of bacon and a 12oz smoothie, I ate half a grapefruit, 5 bites of the soup, and a 12oz. smoothie. Now I am wondering what to make for dinner?? Any suggestions for healthy snacks or meals your family loves to get me out of my cooking rut-I would love to hear them. Here's to a healthier tomorrow!
