This is just a sample of some of the "snacks" we have around our house. I was cleaning out cabinets today and realized they are loaded with teeth-rotting, pound-adding, heart-hurting, CRAP! Justin and I used to eat extremely healthy when were first married. In fact, we lived much healthier lifestyles all together. We worked out 3-5 times a week, hardly ever ate fast food...my how the times have changed.
Neither Justin or I are too concerned about gaining a couple of pounds, it wouldn't be the end of the world. But, I can definitely feel the affects of my poor diet and lack-of-exercise in other areas, the biggest one being energy-level!
I realized that I am primarily to blame for this life-style shift. I am the one who does the grocery shopping and prepares meals. I am responsible for the diet and health of my family! So this week I am making a change. I'm tired of polluting the body God gave me. I don't want Javen growing up with a mouth full of cavities, and addicted to candy and Kool-Aid like most kids. Healthier food like fresh fruit and veggies, are more expensive. But an extra $15 a week to buy better food is worth the sacrifice for me and my family.
I also plan to start exercising this week. Not setting the bar too high since I haven't been in the gym since March...let's start with 2 or 3 times this week. I'll keep ya posted!
Any healthy, yummy recipes??? Let me know!

Please no "honey glazed beef brisquit or sprouts and such" I'm with ya though!
This is a great choice! I have been thinking about this also rather than not eating, my only problem is that I'm a really picky eater!
If you haven't ever made salsa chicken its very yummy and very easy to make...the only "bad" part about it might be the cheese but I know how much you love that so I'm sure it won't be a problem for you. :o) I will get you the recipe.
thats some beautiful knifery at least.
