10 Day Wrap Up

Our family just completed the 10 Day Pledge from Lisa at 100 Days Of Real Food.  We only have good things to report.
  • Staying full longer - So less snacking
    • Nutrient & fiber rich foods take longer to digest
  • More energy (Cassie & Tami)
  • Less stomach issues (Cassie)
  • Lost 2.5 pounds during our pledge (Tami)
    • Since there was absolutely NO exercise, it must be the diet change
  • Had fun cooking healthy recipes, having people rave over them, and then telling them what they're eating is HEALTHY! (Jaycie)
As stated in an earlier post, we've decided to continue our commitment to "whole food" eating.  Though I thought we were preparing & eating fairly healthy foods before, I didn't realize how often we turn to processed foods for snacks and packing lunches.  I cleaned our our pantry this week and donated multiple bags of 'convenience' and canned foods to our local food bank.  That left me with plenty of room to store my bulk whole grain purchases - which I've been shuffling from here to there, all around the other packaged foods. 

It's easy to be skeptical, but surely you've got 10 days to try it for yourself, so go ahead!!  I'll be looking forward to hearing your evaluations, and if you need any recipe recommendations, be sure to scroll down through my blog pages -- all ten days worth of menus are there.

That's awesome! After being on our trip and not being able to cook much, I'm so ready to get back to home cooked meals. I can't believe how much it affects how you feel!
