Mmm purpley goodness :]

yesterday I made more progress in making my family eat healthier. I have recently been making freezer meals that are easy to make in the crock pot (inspired by pinterest of course lol) and what ill do is go get my groceries and then bring it home and chop up the veggies or fruits and put them along with the meat or spices into a gallon zip lock back and freeze it. that way when its time to cook all i do everyday is throw it in the crock pot! Prepping everything takes several hours but its well worth it on busy days and i always know there's something ready to make!

this is my freezer now

I will say something i have learned so far is that on the websites they tell you to lay them out flat, dont do it! it makes it harder to get the food out and then on top of that you have this big square that wont fit in your crock pot and its completely frozen. this freezer is to sessions of prep time. Most of the bottom half of the inside is for smoothies. Ive decided to try and lay off the coffee. For those of you who know me, you know this will be a huge challenge for me.i LOVE coffee. So to replace my coffee i bought some yummy herbal teas, and stuff for smoothies! This morning is my purple smoothie! Its pretty good, i dont really care for the seeds in it, i cant figure out if its from the blueberries or blackberries lol but its tasting more like banana. It has pomegranate juice, i cup each of strawberries, blackberries and blueberries, a half a banana and instead of ice like the recipe called for i used vanilla yogurt that i froze into little ice cube trays.All the recipes Ive been using i found thru pinterest so if you want to follow me there go ahead! 

it doesn't really look purple in this pic but my camera flash was really bright

Tzariel is enjoying himself one too!

On top of smoothies for breakfast we are also going to be trying to eat some whole grains, i got some bagels, oatmeal with flax seed and of course tzariel's favorite cheerios. He will prolly eat more of those then me lol. Then for lunch we are going to have salad with a little baked chicken with herbs and then dinners will of course be my crock pot meals. Ive also got to get a plan for exercising but i haven't figured it out yet. We are working on it one day at a time. I was excited because i think out of all the food i got yesterday just a few things were processed foods. I really think a change into a better diet will make a difference in us all. 

Also very exciting news is i found a doula! Her name is Nicole. she is very nice and I'm really excited to be working with her! Well Im sure I have a lot to do today so Im off for now!
