Yes, I am still at it

I am a terrible blogger. My personal blog is 3 months behind too. UHHH, its overwhelming, but I want to do this so bad. This basically sums up our lifestyle at the moment:

1. The holidays have been hard to stay strict, but we are still trying to be our best... without missing out at family/friend gatherings. :)
2. I have lost 16 lbs overall. I now weigh what a did when I was 15! I have never felt overweight, even though I kinda was. I always wanted to lose weight, but couldn't get the motivation to do a diet longer than a month. Therefore I would loose a little and it was good enough for me. I look at pictures now and see that I did have weight to lose, especially before I got married and, of course, after having babies. Now that I am eating great, I dont even have to try to lose weight! Its super convenient :)
3. Sugar (processed, granulated, etc.) gives me headaches, makes my back hurt, my eyes itchy, and so fatigued that I cant get up in the morning. Why do I still binge on Sugar at least once a week? Its like a drug to me!!! I'm not making jokes. I have a really hard time saying no when its sitting in frot of me. Especially when I'm in a social setting. Food it fun! Conclusion- I am literally allergic to sugar. Bummer.
4. I dont know how meat really effects me, but now that I know how satisfying food can be without meat and cheese... why go back to eating it 2-3 times a day? Also, Meat and cheese have fat and higher calories than vegetarian. So that means I can eat unlimited chips and guac tonight (for example) because the rest of my day is so healthy. We do eat like "normal people" a couple times a week, and when we do.... OHHHHH the flavors and tastes are so much better than I can ever remember. When we eat that way, its because we are out (at someones house for dinner, or at a restraunt, etc.) not just because I feel like ordering pizza, or baking up a batch of cookies.
5. I dont have a ton of recipes, but as of right now I have enough to rotate them so we only have the same thing once every 2-3 weeks. Every week or two I plan out a grocery list of 5 dinner meals, and fruits and vegi's for a week. I do a big shopping trip about 2-3 times a month and I get more produce when needed, but usually we dont run out. We get our fruits, spinach, brocolli, and sugar snap peas at costco and we always eat everything before it goes bad. Those are our lunch foods, along with leftovers. Every time I plan out our meals, I get online and search long and hard for a new delicious recipe.
