Overall Goals


My overall goals for the challenge this month are to maintain a healthy pregnancy while ensuring proper nutrition for the fetus, my 10 month old son who I am breastfeeding, and myself. I would like to reduce cravings for sugar and carbs and stay active.

Hi Amanda Marie, I thought you might find these links helpful:

Thanks for the links maba. I am familiar with the Weston Price philosophy and found some of the information interesting. I have a 10 month old son who eats a mostly primal diet, and I hope to continue that as he gets older as well as with the new baby.
