We bought these tall container gardens from Tractor Supply and we are loving them. They are very sturdy and make garden easy for my husband who is disabled. I planted spinach and kale in this so I can have some fresh greens for my new personal health challenge.

I have always struggled with eating healthy. I grew up on the typical southern diet and basically did not know how to cook or even put together healthy meals. It is easier to fall back on the familiar when you are busy. I have tried all kinds of things to try to lose weight. The effort to maintain a certain level of intensity was never really there so I am trying to participate in challenges. Weight loss challenges, steps challenges and even blogging challenges. Having a sense of competition and camaraderie is very important to my success.

This is why I am starting a new challenge for eating healthier. I am using the greens from this garden to incorporate in my diet. This difference this time is that I am focusing on my changing my mentality about myself.

My road days have slowed down since we purchased this old homestead. With less traveling there is more time to get creative and produce great things and make new memories. Let’s hit the road and journey to a place of good health!
