So, the other day I bought some books online.  I have wanted these books for over a year now but I never wanted to purchase them.  Kinda was a cheepo back then.  Our budget was very tight and allowed for no wiggle room.  Anyway, I bought these:

I have heard rave reviews about the New Rules of Lifting for Women.  Since I am not due for another 2 months, I have more than enough time to really read these books.

Clean Eating

This has been an interest of mine for some time now.  I have always been envious of people who eat clean.  I always thought I would never have enough will power to do it myself.  Plus, hubby hasn’t always been on board either, so I just never tried it.  I have decided that this is what our family needs.  As a mother of 3 I need to do all I can to make sure my kids eat as healthy and nutritious as possible.  I am lucky though, my kids love veggies. So, This family is going 100% clean baby!!

When I was younger, I loved eating veggies but didn’t have them very often.  I thought veggies always came out of a can.  My mother picked up the bad habits of her mother and thats how we were raised.  My mother never bought fresh veggies besides onions and potatoes.  Maybe a tomato here and there.  We never had fresh fruit available to eat, never even saw it.  Nothing was ever homemade, all our meals came out of a box.   We grew up drinking sugar laden KoolAid and pop.  We were never encouraged to drink water either.  When I was about 19 my mother started to buy frozen veggies, so we had a little more in our diet.  She always preached about eating junk but she was always loaded up on pastries and cakes.  Awful.  Now my mother turns her nose up to me when I tell her not to feed my kids candy and pop.  She hates that I have changed.  It’s OK though, not everyone will always be on board with a healthier lifestyle right?!?!
