I set out on a very proud day in June 2012 to lose a breathtaking, anxiety inducing 125 lbs by my following birthday in May 2013. I’ve seen the before/after pictures of people losing over 200 lbs in a year or losing 100 lbs in 6 months I KNEW in every part of my soul it CAN be done. It was possible.

So I’m going to show you for the next couple weeks how I’m feeding my family 5 kids (including 2 teenagers) and one adult on a budget while eating healthy, nourishing whole foods.  I’ll even include how much I’ve spent on what and where. Saturday June 15 HomeMade Pizza topped with some supergreens that were close to their end that i just wilted a little, a gluten free crust mix from namaste I found when I cleaned my pantry & mozzerella cheese....
