Here goes

I feel that if I write it all, and 'put it out there' that I have committed more fully and that I have some accountability. So, here goes. I want to follow the pledge on 100daysofrealfood.com to eat 100% whole foods for 100 days.  I have 3 kids and 1 on the way (due in 3 1/2 weeks) and a handsome hubby that I will not cook separate for, but will not hold them to the same strict rules that I will follow. I cook all their meals and snacks, so it'll be easy in that they will be somewhat forced to eat what I cook, but if they go out to a friends house, or out to lunch, I won't be the one to stop them from the piece of pizza, or chocolate cupcake.

100daysofrealfood.com rules for the challenge are:
* No refined grains; only 100% whole grain
* No refined or artificial sweeteners; only honey and pure maple syrup
* Nothing out of a package that contains more than five ingredients
* No factory-farmed meat; only locally raised meat products
* No deep-fried floods
* No fast food
* Beverages only to include water, milk, occasional all-natural juices, naturally sweetened coffee and tea, and beer/wine in moderation

Please give her blog a read-through. She and her family did this for 100 days and is such an inspiration. I'm only blogging on my personal experience with it, and like I mention in my profile, I will use her cookbook and blog as a big resource as well as others out there that I find along the way.

So, here goes nothing...
