Last week was not a good week. We never just fell off the bandwagon... we got ran over along the way! Without rehashing everything we ate let's just say the words 'take-out', 'deep fryer' and 'junk food' hit our weak spot last week. Honestly, most of it was bad planning on my behalf. A health oven baked cod recipe with veggies turned into a battered, deep fried version. This week we are back on track. We have a full dinner recipe written out on our kitchen whiteboard and a breakfast plan on paper. And all of that unhealthy eating, coupled with forgetting Christian acid reflux medicine on Saturday caused Christian a bad reflux flare-up on Sunday. We have learned our lesson, have regrouped as a family, and are ready to restart and face the weeks ahead.

I would always let Christian pick out the oh so common cereal box that we all see advertised on TV. I'd pour a heap of sugary cereal with 2% milk into a bowl and set it on the table. I've obviously been slacking and taking the easy, unhealthy way out. Breakfast is referred to as the most important meal of the day, but somehow I don't think that a bowl full of sugar is what they are talking about. Breakfast is supposed to refuel my child and help boost his brain power for a busy day at school. Recently I've been making a better attempt to start Christian's day out with a healthier meal. I am keeping on my track of incorporating more fruits and because we have a super-sized box of cornflakes in the pantry I figured we'd have to use them up first. At a closer look at the labeling though I realized that the cornflakes aren't so bad compared to...
