I am so glad you're liking this! There is definitely a unique challenge for us to reach weight loss goals if we're raising kids and cooking for a family! One person I know says, "Quit eating their [the kids'] food!". So TRUE, I love to scarf down leftover chicken nuggets and mac 'n' cheese! My only advice for the making luches part is - have them make their own lunches! ;) My 6 and 7 year olds pack their own lunches the night before. I sort of supervise but try not to interfere too much. May not work for you but it works for us! Also, it is great for teaching them some responsibility! As for the spouse, well, that is a whole other issue! I suppose you could start packing really healthy for him so if you snack a little it would be on baby carrots and celery!? Thanks so much for being here! Would love to hear more about you in the future! Thanks! I am so glad you’re liking this!

I'm not big on a detox regime or anything, but I really like the idea of giving my system 12 hours of rest from digestion. I also find that the nights I work out at the gym I don't have as strong of a desire to eat at after. My big problem that started this year is that I make my daughter and husband's lunches at night when I'm cleaning up and that inspires all kinds of snacking. I haven't yet figured out a better time to make their lunches. I love reading your blog because you bring up issues that I think about and would love to talk about with other moms striving to make healthy choices for their own bodies as they navigate the craziness of raising a family. Thanks for your insights! Hi Jenn,
