Friday 9/2/11

Wow Friday! Yay! Today I went grocery shopping and made a menu for the next couple of weeks, yes folks, we're back to eating healthier. It was really hard this summer, I am so grateful for the meals that our church family provided. Those were the only healthy thing we ate some weeks! But I love to make menus and cook for my family, so I'm back to that and so very happy! Last winter we started supplementing with organic food and eating salads and limiting our processed food intake. I also watched our calorie intake and both Bill and I lost a good deal of weight. We also worked out a lot and didn't eat out. I've actually gained weight with chemo, but that's not a bad thing, but the alternative would be losing weight and that wouldn't be good. From the moment I can start tasting food I eat and eat and eat. Whatever I can get my hands on! Well now I want to watch what I'm putting into this beautiful body that God gave me. I also want to teach my kids some great cooking and eating habits! okay I'll get off my health food kick! Tonight I used the fresh peaches Bill brought home and canned them. (jarred them?) My first time jarring something in awhile and I was a bit nervous. We'll see this winter how that went! I had fun doing it. Made me thankful I can help my family providing and preserving God's abundances! Thanks to all of you for your continued support and prayers! Love you, Love me, Love you, love me!
