Day of Preparations #2

So I'm going to call tomorrow the official "Start Day #1" partly because I had a few (minor) set-backs today but mostly because it's the first of the month..!

I just discovered a new reason for starting this blog (or benefit of it) .. ! It is going to definitely hold me accountable. Sure, I don't have any readers yet - but I want to..! And then I will *HAVE* to do something productive each & every day to have something to write about. If I come on here and start talking about my boring, lazy, uneventful day and how I had some yummy cheese fries you all will let me hear it..!

So today was the monthly birthday day in the office..! You all know what that means..! lol.. I slipped up and had some cookies n' cream ice cream.. but I passed on the cake..! (Although truthfully I probably would have passed on it anyway lol)

Other than that I have had a banana and a fresh caprese sandwich from one of the catering companies that brings us lunch at my company.. woohoo! I love Wednesday's because Wednesday's are caprese days for me.. the company that makes the sandwiches is awesome .. they are so simple but so good..

Oh and I also had some Sun Chips =( at least they are partially healthy right..??

See, the good thing about this blog for you the reader is that I am a normal person just like you..! I haven't been doing this for 10+ years, I don't eat a bunch of wacky things that most people have never heard of or can't pronounce.. I don't ride my bike to work or shop at local farms or use a canvas bag for all of my shopping (not that anything is wrong with those things or that I won't start doing some of them myself but just that the average person doesn't do these things and it can sometimes be intimidating..!) In short, we are going through this together..! Learning which things are important and which things aren't, learning what works for our life and what is practical for us. Laughing about how our husbands, our kids, our friends & family react to our "crazy new ideas." Lamenting over how the rest of society misses so many important things and pondering why we hadn't heard that mercury fillings were toxic or fluoridated water was bad for you. Beating ourselves up over some ice cream or Sun Chips because we are not perfect and we haven't gotten used to all of this yet.. !

It's going to be a crazy journey.. and I can't wait =)
