Welcome Friends!

Hi friends! Most of you are probably reading this because I just texted you the link! lol some of you know what I have been up to, some of you do not. I originally made this blog just to have somewhere to put all my thoughts and to keep me accountable for all my new goals but I figure since this is part of my life now I my as well invite my friends in! Don't worry nothing crazy but it's a lot! Biggest thing is eating clean, if you are a Pinterest addict you may have heard of it before- you see all those inspiration posts "eat clean- train mean" basically what it is, is a 100% natural diet. If it doesn't come from the ground or have a mother you don't want to eat it, if when you look at the ingredient list and have no idea what half of them are you can't have it. I don't think it's a diet, I just find I need to do more research before I eat and find different recipes for our meals and meal planning (<- that's a huge one!) You're also not suppose to drink alcohol... Lets just say I'm not 100% committed to that minor detail! But other then that I'm pretty dedicated, I'm doing this for me and the kiddos, I want us all to be a lot healthier!

Along with clean eating I am going to plant a garden in the spring and can things from my garden to last all winter. I bought cloth diapers (yeah it's THAT serious) from one of my mama friends the other day just waiting for them to come in the mail and then I am taking that plunge.

All of this while Chris is taking paramedic class, both of us working full time & part time, and raising our amazing kids.  I know it's not going to be easy but I am VERY excited for this new adventure! One reason I am sharing my blog with you is so if you want in on any of my adventures or want to know any of the details they will be here.

What I've learned in my first week of clean eating:

- meal planning is key! Without it I find I am making not clean choices

- you have to drink a LOT of water... And I mean a lot! I read 2-3L a day or half your body weight in ounces every day.  This is still a work in progress for me!

-SUPPORT!- you need it; you can't do it alone (part of the reason I'm sharing with you in case your interested) and HINT HINT Chris!

- this is a learning curve; everything isn't going to be 100% clean and turn out perfect... Which leads me too...

- I am a horrible cook! But I am dedicated so I have faith I will pull this together.

- & every time I have to get my hands dirty Hunter WILL need something.

With everything going on I know it will be easy to forget about this blog but I am going to do my best to keep it up to date with my day to day adventures. I apologize in advance for my spelling/grammatical errors... I'm a dispatcher what can you really expect from me haha. I added a spot on the side where you can sign up for emails and you will get emails (not sure of its every time I post or once a week) but that's a good way to keep up with this blog if you want too! Oh, and one last thing if anyone does any projects; recipes etc that you want yo share with the world (Pinterest and what not) you can be a guest blogger on The Abrams Adventures :)

Wish me luck everyone!
