Deep down I knew it was going to happen so it's not a huge surprise.
You can't change without accepting that something was broken in the first place.
There's a saying "you are what you eat"
Well, if that's true we have a problem...one that I am in the process of fixing!
Because we live in a country with four seasons this might be harder in the dead of winter when the farmers markets are closed but while they are open I need to check them out and get produce in season!

We just finished day#8 and I'm not going to lie.
It's a lot of work!
Home cooked meals take pre-planning & prep time.
Maybe I am needing to revamp what exactly that looks like and decide the best route to take.
The rewards are pretty amazing so far and I am still a #realfood newbie!
Here's what yesterday looked like:

Breakfast: granola cereal with blueberries&strawberries
Lunch:avodado egg salad with a slice of flax break and a glass of milk
Dinner:Cobb salad with homemade chicken nuggets.

Dinner was by far the hardest meal of the day with the most prep work which resulted in more dishes but the meal was a success!
I'm going to be paying much closer attention we my next menu for sure!
