Hi guys, sorry it's been a while, but I got good news. First, didn't gain back as much as I feared I would when I went off diet. So, yea, go me. Second, I'm going to school now, this past week was my first week back. Boy was I wore out by time Friday got here. Third, I'm going back on my diet. The hubby has finally gotten tied of his weight as well and has agreed to change the way we shop. And before anyone can point it out; I know I don't need him to lose weight in order for me to lose weight. It was a money thing, our budget just couldn't handle two different shopping list. Since you can't make someone diet if they don't want to I was the one who bowed out. But now we all are getting on board. So I can buy one list, save money, and get back on track. Because of school I won't have the time to be on here often. I'm hoping to plan my meals on the week end so I don't have to try to figure it out as I go. Oh, and we are doing a lot of slow cooker meals now so if any of you have any good recipes I would be eternally grateful if you shared them. Lot of love and happy journey everyone.

Seriously didn't expect this loss. Guess I'm not doing as bad as I though. But the soda's are already showing how bad they are for me. In the short time that I've been in F it mode the yeast infection under my arm is already trying to come back. Though I am wondering if my deoderant may have something to do with it. I use an all natural, homemade deodorant instead of antiperspirant. I stopped using it last time this happened to be able to put the cream on and I've only been using it again for about the same time my diet has reversed. I don't know but I think my diet has more to do with it.

Anyway, on to better news. This week is going to be busy. I've got seedlings to transplant, all this rain gave us a good woodear harvest that I have to dehydrate, and the mulberries are ripening. Picking the mulberries is just the beginning. After cleaning them and removing the steams I will be making my second ever batch of mulberry jelly. Which went over well last year. This year though I'm going with no sugar added so that it will be healthier for us. I have been wondering if I could use some honey to put a little sweetness back into it. Anyone out there ever made jelly and have any suggestion? I'm all ears. Happy journey everyone.

Sorry everyone for not being on in a while. I have been trying to get caught up on my notifications to let you guys know I'm still supporting you; even if it is more in spirit these days. This past week has been difficult for me. I have been stressed/depressed/busy all week long. Early in the week I was having back and leg problems that were concerning and put me out of commission. Then while that was still going on my middle child called from school sick. As soon as we got her well and back in school the youngest came down with it. My back is doing better but I am worried that one wrong move will put me back down. More of my bad eating habits are sneaking back in. I'm already back to eating one meal a day, which is causing my late night cravings to come back. I'm giving in too much to the soda addiction. Frankly I'm surprised I haven't gained more. So much is in limbo right now. My son is turning 16 on the 30th and it looks as though we won't be able to do anything to celebrate. Which is bumming us all out. I still need to get a job, I still don't know how I will pull it off. The hubby was hopeful that he would be getting a part time job this summer, but that is looking less likely as he is not where he needed to be in class by this point. Mostly, I am trying to numb out till the light at the end can be seen. Any way, I hope everyone else is having a better time at it than we are. I'm sending you all my love and support even if I don't get the chance to get on here and tell you. Happy journey everyone!

I've had to make a rather unpleasant decision over the last few days. I have to go off of my diet for a while. I will not being going back to the way I was eating in every way; I will not go back to sugar and I will keep my carbs as low as I can. But, I can not keep eating the way I have been. It is simply not financially sound at this time. All those fresh veggies and unusually ingredients and even eating three squares a day have really driven our grocery bill up and we can no longer afford it. As of this month we are losing almost $400 of our monthly income and until I can get a job to replace it (or hopefully make more) we have to cut any where we can. It is a crying shame when food is something that has to be cut back on but we already have such little else. The internet would go too if the hubby didn't need it for school but things are what they are. I am going to try to stay active on FS and keeping up with what I eat. Having you guys to talk to has been a real joy. I just hope my food journals and weight won't become to depressing. Here's hoping we can make up the difference soon. Happy journey everyone!
