February Recap

Wow – 1st of March already! OK time for a run down on those goals…..I’m still power-walking through the Word, I’m still loosing weight (only 2 lbs this month – but hey 7 last months so let’s average for a more respectable total {g}), we’re still making new friends and we are still on track to finish school ahead of schedule.

{Side note} Its 95* here today!!!! Can you BELIEVE that????

I’m thrilled to have found both a produce co-op and a co-op for buying things like grain and almond butter. {G} We’re seriously trying to switch Zander’s diet to the Feingold program; this will work better if we are all on it. It will be healthy for all of us. I don’t plan on legalism here….just progress. I think if we get rid of the artificial colors, flavors and preservatives at home that Zander will be able to handle the occasional overdose. The others will be able to eat whatever when we aren’t home….now there are these things called salicylites (will have to check the spelling) that will be tough to eliminate.

I’m slowly making changes. Zander was not fooled by honey instead of syrup. I’m going to have to try maple syrup. Monday is always really hard for Zander. His attitude is crazy and he has many, many melt-downs. I’m a bit slow…but after refreshing my memory on the program I put a few things together. Treat at Sunday School, little treat to bring home (which he usually eats on the walk between class and sanctuary), Donuts after church, fast food for lunch and then Sunday night is our ONE ice cream day of the week…..hmm…. Adrienne and Heather did share some of their yummy ice cream. It’s made with fresh raw milk (but I won’t use that) and honey and it was GREAT!
