I've decided to chronicle the health of my family. That's right - our health! Physical, spiritual and mental health, all documented for the world to see. We have much to work on but have already accomplished many things. Such as:
#1 We get a local farm box each week to prepare our meals from
Sometimes some items go to waste and we want to being to utilize EVERYTHING! If something is not used within a week I need to either feed to the chickens or donated to the local food bank or a friend.
#2 We have recently begun attending church services in our local community
We all can progress in our spiritual growth! Thus far I love the church, my kids are okay with it and my husband is halfway on board. It's a unique kind of place, unlike most. So far, so good!
#3 We eat pretty well
However, items do get wasted and money is tight right now. I need to plan meals and make sure we are within our budget. Utilizing our produce, I hope to transform our menus into a more "flexitarian" type of eating. I am currently toying with the idea of eating a meat-centered meal once or twice a week. I do have half a freezer with a local 1/2 pig and 1/4 steer that we are still consuming plus I think one day of fish per week is essential and my kids love it.
#4 I have been trying to stick to a workout regimen
Unfortunately, this is tough for me. My husband runs regularly and gets to the gym too. I have discovered two classes at the gym that I love though! Spin and Turbo Kick which is dancing kickboxing. I love yoga and wish I would do it more often. It helps to center me and the flexibility benefits would be lovely for my declining ability to bend and touch the old toes!
More to come....this is only the beginning!
