Many families have certain things that are important to them. Not like traditions, or holidays but certain days, certain places, etc. In our family it is numbers. I know sounds weird. We celebrate Pi Day, May the 4th be with you day, and weird things like that. Before we got married we realized that our birthdays were both on the 14 day of our birth month and our kids (his and hers boys) were both on the 28th day of their birth month. Later in our marriage we came up with celebrating 100 years (The year Carl would turn 50, I would turn 40 and we would be married 10 years). We had fun celebrating that milestone. As it turns out there are lots of 100 things in our life. Last weekend our youngest son graduated from High School. Wouldn’t you know it’s 100 days from graduation until he starts Tech School. There are so many 100’s in our lives.
We decided to start this blog to share with others our journey to lose 100 plus pounds. So far we are at 80. It has been such a life changing journey for us and we want to share our new knowledge with you. We are not experts just avid researchers and trying to do the best we can. Interesting when we celebrated 100 years the thought of one of us celebrating 100 years of life never occurred to me. But after being on this journey I think it is definitely something to look forward to.
I hope you will be encouraged by our journey.

Cadia Organic Creamy Mushroom Soup
I’ve always liked cream of mushroom soup. As a kid I’d eat Campbell’s. Later in life Progresso and other brands too. But when I switched to a Whole Food Plant Based diet, creamy soup just became a thing of the past. That is until a few weeks ago when I found Cadia Organic Creamy Mushroom …
