Catching Up!

Some photos from our latest trip to Lehi!

It was a great trip and I was so grateful to be there for the triplets blessing! 

The night before we left for home I began to have symptoms of diverticulitis and it followed me home. Today, one week later I am finally feeling better. Wow! If I ever needed a wake up call to begin my healthy eating regimen, this was it! I did about 36 hours of a clear liquid diet to begin the healing and now I am watching every bite that enters my mouth. I haven't had any sugar or fried food in the last week and for me that's nigh on miraculous! I am snacking on fruits and veggies and I am very mindful of what goes in to this highly susceptible body of mine. I want to live a healthy life and I believe that means whole foods and very little processed food. As Michael Pollan says, 'if it came from a plant, eat it. If it was made in a plant, don't.' Wise words. 

How did I save money this week? 

Well, I haven't gone shopping, I don't have the energy yet to go shopping so we have been eating what's in the house! Yay! 

Dad replaced the curling iron I left at Becky's with a $2.00 thrift store one that is a conair and works better than my old one.

I love saving money and I love figuring out how to not spend it when emergencies seem to crop up. A good way to live in my book
