Just keep swimming...

Well, I'm still here. It's so easy for me to get caught up with my day-to-day life, that I don't sit down and blog. But, reading others' blogs counts, right? Because I definitely read my blogs I love frequently. 
I am leaning more towards raw foods as of late. Another phase :-) I've cut out most meat and only eat some seafood. Salads have been my standard with the occasional vegetarian meal.I've been getting some new yummy recipes for experimenting with and I'm excited! I'm going to try to incorporate more fats into my day. Yummo fats like coconuts, avocados, and almonds.
 The kids are back in school and that has brought with it all the prepackaged  yuck foods that they tend to want in their lunch boxes. I hate that. I am trying to encourage veggie snacks with dip and some fruits as their sides. Some turkey and some type of chip complete the meal. But there are days when they want to buy lunch. Ewww. I don't want to limit them so much that they resent me and the healthy food choices. So, it's a tricky balance. 
Jason is working so much as usual. I feel strongly that he needs to cleanse. Maybe a juice fast/feast. But, getting him on board is tricksie :o The garden Diet talked about an OJ fast a few years ago. That's on my mind for him. Seems like smthg he'd find doable.
Football is over. Third year for my buddy. He did so good this year. He's come so far and I'm uber proud! I cannot say that I will miss the major Drama that occurred this season. I can't wait to be back with some familiar faces next year. People whom we missed this season that he will once again reunite with next year.
So, with the fall weather in the air, I'm looking forward to downtime with the family. And to great health and happiness.
