October

Since Dad died I've been just gaining more and more fat. So, I've decided that in October we will make a full transition into healthier eating. I've been working on this for the past few months and I've got the family eating healthier and interested in Organics and all natural products. So I figure I can make the full transition by Oct. and we can all be eating healthier.

My own goals will be to go to the Y for at least 4 days a week, the kids will love this part. I will also go from eating 1-2 large meals a day to eating 5 small meals throughout the day. I will give myself a free day every week so that I can eat what I want, when I want for one day. I will only have up to 2 servings of red meat a week, try to stick to turkey, chicken and pork when I need meats. I will do as much veggie as possible and limit everyone's meat content. I will start insisting that the kids, Adrian and I ALL take our vitamins more regularly.

This all means that I have to figure out a REALLY good routine! With 6 of us, and Adrian and I both working 50-70 hours a week, it's going to have to be a strict routine - which I do not do well with. Yikes!

I really want to teach my children healthier living habits though, and I really need to put myself on a routine instead of this chaotic life we have been just barely getting by in.

Adrian and I have had a rough time, with hardly any help at the shop and as much as he works, we are both extremely stressed and over-tired. That just is not good, it means we bicker, or (like this weekend) we fight, like crazy! I can't take it and neither can he. Right now we don't see any other options but to make a major change and hit the problem head one.
The Problem - Chaos The Answer - Routine
At least, that's what I make of it? lol

So after a hard weekend we are trying to return to some sort of normalcy.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!
