10 days of real food

So I am on day 8 of my 10 days of real food challenge.  I had to start later that I'd planned since we took a vacation to NY (more on that later).  So far so good.  Jack and Marian are actually on board and like the idea of a challenge.  2 days in Chad made it clear that he was actually not on board as he devoured the cupcakes our friend dropped by before I could put them in the freezer.  Jack was horrified but is resigned to the fact that this is a mom and kid challenge.  We haven’t starved and I must say I feel good.  I mean inside, health wise, I feel good.  The most surprising thing so far is how much sugar we normally consume.  It is in everything!  And I don’t think I realized before this how many little treats I was having every day.  I still need to do a better job of adding more fruits and vegetables into our diet but so far this has been a good experience.
