Day 5

Today has not been the best. We ran out of most fruit and seeds which I was using to snack on throughout the day. Jordy takes all the left overs with him to work from dinner the night before so I have to make new things for lunch....which is fine I would rather he stick to the diet and im glad he is. I just am craving instant potatoes and beef and rolls and butter. Im trying to satisfy that craving in a healthy way. Im making quinoa and lentil cutlets and vegan gravy and garlic broccoli and homemade whole wheat bread with hummus as a condiment. I know I will feel satisfied....but I also know I will want dessert. Which I've been having fruit at night as dessert and we are out. I can do it.....we can so this. Ohhhh I have some icecream that I made by putting frozen bananas and strawberries through the foodprocessor....we can eat that yum;)

later...
Dinner went great! I loved loves the quinoa/red lentil cutlets.....Jordy was so so....Noah loved them...Livy hated them haha. But Livy is so in love with broccoli im not concerned about her protien.
Insanity went well tonight. I can't believe 5 days are gone! This I unreal and to boot I am ENJOYING cooking and planning meals again. I thought this would stress me more. The lord must be blessing me extra. Its a huge adjustment and has its stressful moments. Really the biggest anxiety for me is that I have to leave this property one day lol. I mean I leave to shop for food. But im focused and quick. I am dreading spending a day out away from home. Packing whole foods for on the go is actually easier than packing anything....but trying to think what the kids will eat for meals.....without offending anyone who offers them things. I just want to live here on this little patch of land for like a month until this is all second nature and I can plan for time away from home. If we lived a little closer we could just always insure we get home in time for meals. But we try to budget our gas and want to make the most of time we get with family so we usually spend the day. I feel my heart rate increase just thinking about it haha. I am sure its easier for others. But if I had self control with those yummy fast food places I wouldn't feel be in this situation!
