Update!
Sorry to leave everyone hanging, I basically just stopped posting without any notice!

I got all excited about this veggie journey the same time that I was blessed with becoming pregnant for the second time.

It certainly was not the timing that I had planned! When I started reading The Kind Diet I had no idea what I was stepping into.

I had been on the library's waiting list for MONTHS to borrow this book which I had first heard about through a friend's blog. Everyone on her blog was raving about it and I'm all for eating healthier so I wanted to read the book but not buy it.

Of course once I read it I immediately bought it! But all of my enthusiasm for the book and following a new eating lifestyle could not fight my extreme fatigue and crazy eating patterns that come with pregnancy - cravings, aversions, etc.

I'm sure that if I was used to this lifestyle I could easily (or at least more easily) keep it up rather than trying to start something new. I simply wasn't able to deal with learning to cook and eat in a whole new way, no matter how hard I tried, while dealing with the fatigue, cravings and aversions.

The important thing to me became getting enough nutrition and that has been my focus. Of course I would prefer to be eating different foods and I am doing what I can when I can to eat the best veggie way that I can but the last thing that I am going to do is beat myself up for eating some chicken or something.

I'm still staying away from beef and pork (aside from the baked beans that are cooked with some bacon). There have been a lot of picnic situations over the Summer months and I'm not going to not feed my pregnant body when there is food available!

So that's where I'm at, planning on going back to the veggie journey sometime next year when my life has settled back to a routine where I will be able to focus on starting a newer and healthier food lifestyle.

Keep following!
But if you are still interested in following what I'm up to I have started a personal development blog called Grow With Stacy which integrates personal development with blogging tips.

I'm also going to be starting a blog on home education which will go with the site that I have created as a home education resource called Homeschooling Adventures. I will come back here and update that once it is set up, possibly this week since I'd like to have it up and running in time for the new 'school' year to start up.

EDIT: My new location for my home education blog is here: Homeschool Adventure Land. Please stop by and say hi!

I hope to see you there at either place!
