short and sweet.
starting september 1st we cut out all processed foods from our diet and taught the children about healthy eating and healthy lifestyle choices. weʻve maintained this for nearly two months now. we've begun making small exceptions for the kiddos (ie. when attending a bday party, go ahead and have a cupcake. eat some candy during halloween time. yes, you can drink the caprisun in your post-game soccer snack.)
casey and i are on day 3 of a juice fast (inspired by "fat, sick, and nearly dead") and though weʻre hungry and slighty fatigued, weʻre doing well. we hope to go for 3 weeks. minimum of 10 days, maximum of 3 weeks. how's that sound?
our goal is to lose a combined total of 175 pounds (casey and i... the girls arenʻt losing weight here. ) and to permanently change the way our family approaches food. we donʻt really have a time frame in mind yet, but definitely donʻt want to go back to eating processed foods. ever. and weʻre still working on incorporating exercise... that will come.
so far, casey has lost 21 pounds and i've lost 12.
wish us luck.
