Healthy Living

My husband and I have been working out consistently for the past few months and have done an overhaul on our diets. Diet meaning way we eat not restricting calories. We want to make changes that we can stick with for life, not just to get the weight off. I've had a couple of friends ask me what we are eating and I'll tell you now what a basic day looks like then each time I try a new recipe that is a hit with the family, I will try to share it also. So, the basic day:

6am scrambled eggs, sometimes on a tortilla
9am fruit salad with plain natural yogurt or a fruit smoothie
12pm leftovers from night before dinner
3pm high protein snack
6pm light dinner, usually vegetables and protein

and we drink tea in the morning, with lunch, and before bed then lots of water during the day. Ryan's drinking protein shakes on days that he works out. We started the year off with a detox and he lost 9 pounds and I lost 6.5. I have been able to maintain the loss. He gained 4 back but then a week or so later, lost 6.

We are both very excited about eating healthy and exercising and teaching our kids to make healthy lifestyle choices! Look for recipes to come...
