About me and why I started this blog ... the quick version. I am a wife and a mother - of 4. We have been married for 8 years and we have a 6 year old daughter and 3 boys ages 4, 2 and 1. I am busy. Very very busy. We all have our lives, we are all busy ... that's the world we live in. Some are busy taking care of their ailing parents, some are busy working hours that should be illegal, some are busy with their animals, some are busy with appointments and their minds are full of worry - and some are busy changing diapers and keeping kids alive - nonethless - we are all busy. It's an excuse I used for way too long. It's nothing but an excuse. You must make time for your health. I have been what is known in this world as a "yo yo dieter" for as long as I can remember. I remember being in 2nd grade and telling my friend I was on a diet. And I was a very small child - but even then - at 7 years old I thought I was fat - that or I just thought it sounded "cool" to be on a diet. Bring on the pre teen years and puberty and holy crap ... it all spiraled quickly out control. Then I got married and got pregnant - lost the weight with baby #1 fairly easily, but with each kid it got harder, and harder and finally by the last one --- it was near impossible. In the past I have done diet pills (every kind you can buy over the counter), laxatives, hollywood juice diet, high protein, vegetarian ... I did it all. And I always "failed" and I *always* felt like crap. Then I met a wonderful lady named Rachel and she introduced me to the world of "clean eating". I've been eating "clean" for about a year, but strictly for around 6 months and it has changed my life. And it's easy. And it's cheap. It's for me and my family. It's so, SO easy.
