First Real Meal

We are the Lybbert family. A sister of the Flemings. I am very excited about the challenge. I am totally on board, but like Becky, not sure my husband is fully aware of what we are embarking upon. I have explained it, but I don't know what he is eating when he is not at home. Lets hope he does well.

Our motivation is to becoming more healthy. I have PCOS, which can be helped through diet low in sugar and high in whole foods. This challenge is perfect for me. We also want to lose some weight. Hopefully, this will turn into a lifestyle change that will be beneficial for the whole family.

The only rule we are letting slide a touch, is the local meats. We have a bunch of meat already in the freezer, and we intend on eating it. Baby steps people, baby steps. We feel like this is already a huge stride, and if it works out, perhaps we will go a little further and begin buying our food at more local places.

Our first real meal was breakfast this morning. We made oatmeal, and added a touch of milk and some blueberries. Usually I also add a bunch of sugar to sweeten it, but since we are trying to eat healthy, we tried it without. In our prayer, I prayed it would taste good without sugar, and you know what, it was delicious! Even my 16 month old ate every bite and loved it.
