Hi all,
I posted my bio but wanted to say hello. I'm a stay at home mom with a 5 year old girl, and 2 year old GBB triplets. My disabled parents live with us too. Life in our house is very crazy and just doesn't stop until late...I love that quiet time!!
I'm an older mom, so DH and I have to stay healthy to be here for our kids. We are both starting to feel the effects of the extra weight. Sure is hard on a heavy body carrying two 27 pound toddlers up the stairs!!! Right now, I'm trying to learn as much as I can, clean out, what I can, and get some receipes together that my family will eat. I'm planning on starting Monday.
Part of my problem is I have to cook for everyone in the house and even at my age, I feel like I have no idea how to cook...so I cook stuff my mom used to cook, which even though I try to make it more healthy, it is still not the best choice...enriched pasta, potatoes, rice, etc. SOOOO, since I need to learn to cook more healthy, why not learn the SBD way, right?!?! My other issue is my mom. She is 79 years old, overweight and feels deprived if I try to keep the junk out of the house...chips, klondike ice cream bars, white bread and pasta, and processed frozen foods. I've tried talking with her, but food is such an emotional issue for her. (She feels like all she has left in life are her treats...my dad had a stroke and is paralyzed and can't speak.) Needless to say, it can be difficult.
Looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Thank you,
