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.
