Eating and buying healthy

I have to say, while walking into the supermarket after work today, it was hard to overlook the normal buys of food filled with corn starch and syrup and hormones. I resisted and made my way to my first stop, organic vegetables. I picked up some celery hearts and apples and headed to get diapers. I looked at the organic diapers for a moment, debating upon them and pampers. I still went with Pampers Cruisers Dry Max Diapers, Economy Plus, Size 5 (27+ Lbs), 124 Diapers, It has taken me 3 children and many brands to find which one works, for Liam this is all that will keep him dry and I fear I will be wasting more water washing the soiled clothes and sheets that will amount if I get anything different.

After the diapers it was on to the organics section of Cash Wise. They have always had a decent size section and they have good sales usually as well. I picked up some Soymilk, Plain, Aseptic, Organic, 32 oz., in a two pack. It was near $7.00. Knowing I would be the only one in the house to drink it, I knew that was worth it. I then grabbed some Kashi Golean Cereal, 14.1-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 6), of course it wasn't the pack of six but it was rather 3 different boxes at 4 dollars a box. I picked up Annie's Homegrown Totally Natural Shells & Real Aged Cheddar Mac & Cheese, 6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12) and Annie's Homegrown Classic Macaroni & Cheese, 6-Ounce Boxes (Pack of 12), for lunches. I'm hoping it tastes better than the off brand we normally buy. I grabbed some  Cass Clay 1% milk for Kevin and Liam and then went to the check out. It cost 74 dollars all together and I felt good. I walked out of the store with my reusable totes full, and I felt like I was actually making a change for once. Now to stick to it. Monday is the official day of my start, I will buy only good food for me and my family and research good recipes to cook for them.

I was able to talk to a friend on the phone on the way home and I thoroughly had a good day. Now I shall go to bed because I need to be up early to get Liam ready to go to Lindsey's house while I go set up for the Carrie Underwood concert. Then I HAVE to get some homework done. I don't know if I'll be sticking around to go to the concert yet, I might but I don't know. I may pack a lunch and bring my homework along and just hang out until show time depending when I get done setting up. So, with that, good night world.

Time for change

I've been searching for change for me and my family for awhile now. I'm slowly converting myself to go green. I also want to change what we eat, sadly health food is expensive so we need to find a happy medium so I can feed my family and still be able to give them and me the nutrition we need. I am going to make a list of goals that I hope to achieve by the end of the year.

1. Recycle regularly
2. Buy organic, locally grown and hormone free food.
3. Go one whole month without meat.
4. Exercise 3 times a week
5. Limit television and internet time
6. Be active in my community
7. Walk/Bike to work
8. Go outside more
9. Pay bills ON TIME!
10. Write 250 words a day
