So it has been about two years since doing this blog. I've decided to pick it up again in hopes of holding myself accountable. Accountable to what? Just about everything.

A lot has changed since the last post. We now have a dog, which is attached at the hip to my son. Conner really is a super dog, except during thunderstorms, when the fire alarm goes off after burning dinner, and just about any loud noises.

We also have 6 chickens. I really should have chronicled the making of the chicken pen. Two city adults trying to figure out how to make a pen the chicken wouldn't fly out really was a comical experience. I might have to tell that story one day. I talked my hubby into the chickens because I wanted my kids and I to know where our eggs came from. Yes, I know where they came from, but do you really know what the chickens are fed and how they are treated? This gives me some piece of mind and chickens are fun to keep. The truly have their own personality.

Also, my oldest daughter graduated high school at the age of 16. My hubby and I are so proud of her. It has been a rocky road, but she made it and is starting community college. Gotta love the photobomb from my coworker!

I am hoping to keep up with this blog. I have started the 21 Day Fix Extreme program by Beachbody. I have a lot to lose so I will be doing the 21 days over and over until it becomes a lifestyle change. I will keep track of recipes I like and the colors they use for each serving. I am majority vegetarian, except for the eggs and seafood. I do not eat dairy products, chicken, pork or beef so majority of my recipes will reflect this.

On the 21 day fix program you don't need to count calories. You will use the measuring Tupperware to help you succeed in losing weight.

 I attached the vegetarian food list so you can see the variety. I pulled from http://amandajbush.com/can-i-do-the-21-day-fix-if-i-am-vegan/ . She has some useful information, as well as, some menu ideas.
 I couldn't help but put an updated picture of my kids. I love my rugrats. They are growing up to fast!
