Whole30 and Money.

Okay... so i was looking over the Whole30 program and  they said that you shouldn't have any problems with it at all.... ever.... no slip ups..I can see that with how little you are allowed to eat. basically lettuce , green beans , snap peas , and coconut stuff....BUT for some people like me and my husband we don't have the money to keep up with all of that. some nights we have just enough money to get a burger off the dollar menu at McDonald's. I'm not even joking. We have days where We both skip meals because we just don't have the money. Shoot , i don't eat breakfast or lunch most days. Coupons these days aren't what they used to be thanks to the "Crazy coupon ladies" out there.....

So, No. Whole30 is not something i can do. i would love to but it's not going to happen when i don't even have the money to feed myself as it is. Yes i weigh about 255 but that's also from having a baby.  On the days that we actually find good deals it's normally for the stuff you don't want to put inside you. the only thing we keep plenty of is chicken and coffee. Even then, I just defrosted the last bag of chicken we have.
My husband and i both have jobs. Sometimes it's just not enough. We make it work but its NOT easy. #AdultLife haha, sorry i dont hashtag much but i thought it fit well this time.


We have found ways to work around things. We have a little bit of coupons. We try, but that is all we can do. I don't understand why they say you can when you have to have X amount of money to even start it let alone get everything you NEED for it.My grocery list consists of eggs , some fruit , and broccoli. That's it because that is all we can afford. So don't tell me Whole30 Is easy. That's Bull for someone in my position.

Puppies and Such

A week ago today (Monday 16, 2017) i got a forever puppy.
His name is jack . He is a basset hound mix. The first time i saw him i knew i wanted him. He was so skinny from being out on the streets and not having any food. today he is a chunky little man and still has his puppy tendencies. For instance , at about 2:10 am he decided that he didn't want to be in his cage so he barked. I wasn't feeling to well so my patients was running thin. I got up to get him out of his crate and all he did was run around for about 10 minuets. it was the cutest/most annoying thing i had ever experienced. All i wanted to do was sleep, but jack had different plans.

Right now he is asleep on the floor next to me, just snoring  away. It is such a good feeling watching him come from his thin tiny sad-self to this chunky happy little man

I wonder if this means I'm going to be some-what of a good mother...
I've been worrying about that since the first time i was pregnant. even though I didn't know i want pregnant... i still wondered. I still worry that i wont be good enough for my children.. is that bad? I mean what if they turn out terrible or worse...what if they turn out to be like me?
I guess we will just have to wait and see.

I found the Bible app for my lap-top!! It has been so amazing!
i can listen to the books all i want! it's made me such a happier person, it's also opened my eyes to things that i was never taught as a child. Like how our Lord and Savior didn't just break bread and fish once. HE did it twice! When the disciples started questioning if he could really heal the sick and dying God looked at them and asked them if they remembered the 5,000 men ( NOT including children and women)  he fed with Five loaves of bread and 2 fish? Or the 4,000 and the 7 loaves of bread and the few small fishes? I was so baffled when i read Matthew Chapter 15 and 16! It is so amazing the things you find out when you read the bible for yourself and not just take what a person says as if it is the truth. I know it might seem like a long shot to some of you out there. but God is Real. there are no IF , ANDs , or BUTs.I have noticed some pretty amazing things happen in my life that i never had explanation for but when i think about it it was God hands in my life.
 I was in a car wreck back in February. If the car hadn't stopped on the sidewalk like it did there would probably be pieces of my remains in the grass and on a tree. Some of you would say that the car had good breaks, but one of the breaks was completely gone and there was no telling if the car would have been able to stop BUT i firmly Believe it was God keeping my husband and I safe.

God has a plan for everyone. I challenge you to real one book in the bible.One chapter a day. You pick the book. If you don't notice a change in yourself then you can say as you please to me and i wont talk back. But you have to read all of that book that you picked out. ALL OF IT. If you choose to go on and read more of it then i will be extremely happy that i have a new brother/sister in Christ.
