My husband and I have been married almost three years now. We’ve noticed the last few months that we are definitely more…padded then we were back then. So, we’ve decided to start paying closer attention to our diets, and hopefully get in more exercise.

We went grocery shopping this morning and bought all sorts of healthy snacks and things we can use in actual meals. I’m so excited…I know that I’ll miss eating junk, but at least I can eat now without feeling really guilty about it. :) Plus, I feel more satisfied after eating things I know are good for me…maybe it’s psychological. It’s just a more satisfying fullness, rather than being full, but feeling empty (if that makes sense).

We bought lots of fruits and veggies (low fat ranch to go with those!), yogurt and loose granola, pickles (okay so they aren’t GOOD for you, but they aren’t bad for you either..), hummus, pita bread, some deli-sliced turkey and cheese for sandwiches, and edamame! I’m so excited about the edamame. I wouldn’t have thought our grocery store here would have carried it!

I really hope we can stick with this. Hopefully I can curb my cravings! :D
