Here are some pictures of the wonderful bounty we are getting from our slapped together gardens. We have cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, sunflowers, and pears that are ready to be picked and watermelons, catalopes, oakra, banana peppers (courtesy of Hidden Haven), and potatoes all growing that will be good within a week or two. Our pumpkins completely died. I have included a pictures of that as well. We are still very excited and feel ready to continue on with our journey of making our life better.
This last week we decided to make food instead of buying fast food on the road. We made a list for every meal with what we needed to buy and stuck to it! We ate every meal according to the plan. This is a huge step towards a better life for us. Being on the road 12 hrs a day some days it is hard to make yourself not eat fast food, but we not only were able to bring the food from home we enjoyed it and are excited to continue.
As a side note last month we decided no more sodas to start making us healthier and we have not had a soda in over a month. We will be posting a list of items we plan to eliminate from our diet monthly to slowly improve our eating without trying to attack everything at once.
We got our first full months electric bill since we turned off all of the lights and air conditioning and were very excited to see what difference, if any, it made.
Previous months bill $184.00
This months bill $ 40.00
Savings of $144.00
This was not our reasoning for not using a/c or lights, but it sure is incentive to keep it up!
We are planning to slaughter at least one chicken today. We will be posting on this in a few days.
Chris, Sandi, and Sol
