The hubby and I have made a concerted effort to eat healthier. This all occurred after our "foodie vaca," which, if you've seen any of the pictures, was not a dieters vacation by any means. :) We enjoyed it none the less, but really were determined to make it through the holidays without gaining weight (we thought losing weight over the holidays was a setting ourselves up to be discouraged). We succeeded! Anyone who has ever tried to eat right, be healthier and lose weight we know how encouraging and empowering success like that can be.
Continuing this goal into the new year, we have continued see pounds leave in a healthy way. Portion control has been a biggy for us and using our small plates instead of the big dinner plates has played a huge role in winning the mental food battle-"this is it?"
Back to food-Skinnytaste.com has become my new go-to spot for delicious, healthy recipes! Seriously good food! So much variety and the recipes are bursting with flavor, but don't burst your waistline! Check it out!
Another big help has been the newest 4-legged addition to our family! Meeka, our spaniel/beagle/lab mix rescue pup joined our family on New Years Eve. She is a sweet, lovable, pup, but definitely still a pup. Lots of energy means the need to run and get lots of exercise, so we don't have our home chewed to ribbons-great motivation to get out and exercise! I've enjoyed jogging with her in the morning and jogging/walking her with my hubby in the evenings.
So, I'm hoping that this new year will bring you joy and good food! I hope to bring some of that good food to you through this blog! I love to hear what you think or what you'd like to see here.Happy New Year
(I can still say that on January 25th right?)
