so far so good. amy and i had a great week last week, almost perfect except for my coffee habits. we worked out every morning except for one and on that day we worked out in the evening. we were both geeked and extremely happy with the results. i was down 10 pounds and she was down 4 pounds. not to shabby …


we planned out our meals for the entire week and i went grocery shopping today. i love the feeling when i get up to the checkout line and i know that everything i’m buying today is healthy and won’t have a negative effect on my body. we’re eating more vegetables, whole wheat, beans, and lean meat than we used it. it’s really a great feeling when you eat right.


a few things that are helping a lot this challenge are planning, planning, and planning. i know i’ve said it before, but planning has been huge for us. with both of us being really busy with work and school the last thing we can do is wait until a meal to figure out what we’re going to eat. we plan everything out like we should, heck we usually plan it out a few days before hand actually. it has really helped and saves us from making bad food choices.


we’ve been eating a number of meals from the eating for life book. the meals are fantastic and really easy to make. i think the longest meal takes us like 30 minutes and that’s mostly waiting. the rest of the meals are 5 - 10 minutes maximum prep time. they are very enjoyable and don’t really leave us wanting more food. i really recommend picking up this book if your looking for some healthy and very delicious receipts.
