Without a doubt, the biggest thing we did this week to stay healthy was to get the horrific mold out of this house! It was truly shocking to see underneath the paneling and see the extent of black mold back there. I'm happy to report it's all out of here as you can see from these pictures I just took. Our contractor also just discovered there has been a leaking pipe behind one of the walls for quite some time that he just had to repair. Add that to the list. (Notice how I didn't have a Frugal Friday post this week?)
What else did we do to stay healthy this week? Jason went to see his doctor and got a battery of bloodwork. The conclusion after the appointment was exercise, exercise, exercise for stress management and overall health.
For the past two weeks I have also planned meals with a new strategy. My goal is to have two seafood, two vegetarian, two meals where meat is a small part of the dish, and one normal meat meal. We came pretty close this week. We actually had three vegetarian, one chicken, one seafood and one beef. The seventh night was breakfast for dinner and we had pancakes, eggs and bacon. Just two slices a person. We aren't angels, we can't go completely cold turkey, but I'm trying to just live moderation and see those times as treats maybe once a week. I have yet to plan my meals for the coming week, but we'll see if we can stick with it.
I guess what it comes down to this week is no mold, and less meat.

Wow! that mold was nasty. Are you going to be redoing the whole basement? That will be nice. Way to go on staying healthy. I have been exercising since the first of the year and am really enjoying the increased energy I have. Thanks for helping to motivate me.
Yes, the mold was nasty. Happy I can say "was"! We think we will leave half the basement unfinished for storage and the utility room, but finish a larger room. A family room with a tv, pingpong, with the back corner having the laundry area, my deep freezer, etc. The kids are thrilled!
