so awesome

So excited about things  going on in our life and food journey to start off I have lost 8 pounds since the 1st ! yay and here's some of what ive been eating

yummy!

lots of water lots of tea lots of fruit and veggies! and of course grilled chicken and fish all organic :)

One small step to a healthier life

So we started our new eating habits yay!!!! now we are not dieting thats not what this is this is eating things that are better for us. Here is what a sample day would look like for us:

• Breakfast- 2 whole cage free eggs, 1 slice of rudis organic bread toasted with a sliver of organic valley butter and full circle organics strawberry jam, half an apple and a glass of martinellis apple juice.
• Snack- 2 stalks of celery and some natural peanut butter
• Lunch- power greens mix by earthbound farms with some organic romaine and spinach mixed in with some organic peppercorn ranch dressing, cup of almonds and some tea 
• Snack- amys butter crackers, blueberries and raspberries
• Dinner- organic free range chicken thighs boneless shredded into organic spaghetti with organic roasted garlic tomato sauce with a side salad with peppercorn ranch 
• Desert or midnight snackie ;)- salsa and chips or a piece of organic fruit \

Ok so from here on out unless otherwise stated everything we are consuming is organic so i will not be writing that word in front of everything for the sake of sounding super repetitive :). So there are tons of other options to this but as of now the only appliances we have to cook with are an electric griddle a convection oven a small coleman stove and a microwave so as we attain the permanent appliances our recipes base will grow and grow i will be doing all of my own recipes none that i copied off of other websites. this was basically my day yesterday minus the lunch part. I only got hungry in the middle of the night a few hours after bedtime while i was up waiting on the hubby to get home oh and ken absolutely loves the organic milk and next week we are getting a gallon of raw milk to try YAY! oh here are some pictures of breakfast this morning :)



it was super yummy and I ate the eggs without ketchup! so i know this isn't a huge accomplishment but it is for me because i have been known to eat everything with ketchup including eggs. My husband is such a hard one to please when it comes to bread I mean he'll eat it if thats all there is but rarely do I hear him say he really likes a particular bread especially an organic one you find in the freezer section but my hat goes off to Rudi's for making an awesome bread!!! I will be posting more pictures tonight on the different things we are eating and our recipes.

New year new changes new life

Just to start off i'll introduce myself and give you a little background. My name is Stephanie and my husbands name is Kenny we have been married for almost 2 years been together for almost 5 :) we have downsized our life and now live in an RV which we are in the process of remodeling and becoming fully sustainable. We are proud parents to our 8 (yes you read that right) 8 furbabies 6 dogs and 2 cats :) we are a little crazy im sure but we love our life. We both have been living a super unhealthy life and have vowed to change our entire life and purpose so here it goes. So as new years go im hoping this is the best. To start off our journey this year we've done a few things to be prepared , at the end of December we gave our lives to Christ :) YAY!!! also made some personal resolutions and here they are

• Of course lose weight but this year I have a plan we will only be eating free range grass fed organic meats and organic fruits and vegetables .
• We are also not going to be eating out at all :)
• exercise more 
• remodel our RV
• participate in 2 5ks :)
• do some missionary work
• and do our devotional everyday
• give up soda
• crocheting and knitting leg and arm warmers 

haha i know that's a lot but I'm super excited :) Well a little bit more about my husband and I and our health which is a big part of our journey. I am 25 on this day and weigh close to 350lbs mostly because of laziness :( I have back problems, joint issues, arthritis, of course overweight, and digestive issues. My wonderful husband just had an odd weight loss followed by weight gain after he quit smoking he is on this day 29 and weighs around 215lbs he also has a plethora of ailments he would like to be resolved.

those areall our loverly animals right there :)

We will be posting pictures of the things we are eating and recipes and reviews on the different organics we come across :)
