Still Going Strong...

Day 14:
Today is Sunday and things are still going well. My former meat/processed food, etc husband is doing so awesome. I am so proud of his discipline and desire to better his health. Heath has had a few cravings here or there, but is learning to satisfy them with things he CAN eat. Last weekend was a case of the chocolate cravings, so he picked up some dark chocolate, and eats just a serving. It has great antioxidants, and can satisfy easily because of its richness. Yesterday was a nacho cheese craving. I decided he just needed some sodium, so we bought some nut mixes and sunflower seeds with sea salt. Salt is not bad in and of itself, but table salt has a lot of bad and not a lot of good...sea salt can be very beneficial. We started using sea salt a while ago, so I season things as desired without reservations.

After my last post, some friends commented on my new "green" dishwashing detergent. They mentioned laundry soap/cleaners in general, and suggested making my own. I wondered why I hadn't thought of that, and think that I will start doing that after my store-bought cleaners are gone. I found some links online for recipes.

Below, I have a link about something that is very important to me: keeping my child free of hazardous chemicals/dyes/metals. I am a strong believer in keeping our bodies free of contaminants that can cause disease. I do not vaccinate my child, not because of my fears, but because of what I believe is right. Listen and read with an open mind.
PS: I am not going to be dyeing my hair anymore. Chemicals are even more dangerous to our body when they are appplied on the scalp, especially when wet.

Goal for this week: I work 8-5 this week, which means that I will miss the majority of the beautiful weather that we're to have this week. My goal is to take Laila for a walk each day, regardless of the things I have to do each night. I want to cherish the time that I have with my daughter, and let her know how important it is to enjoy the world that God has blessed us with.
