A Healthier Lifestyle

Brian and I have been trying to make an effort to become more healthy. We converted our eating habits, we are now vegetarians. However, don't get that confused with vegans...we still eat dairy. We tryed veganism...but we all love cheese and yogurt too much.

So anyways, we are now vegetarians...we never really ate much meat anyways. So it really wasn't a big change for us. We however did eat a LOT of carbs like pastas, and bread products. So we are slowing down on all those carbs and trying to incorporate more vege-friendly meals and fresh fruit. It has been really fun so far.

When we go grocery shopping we only shop on the perimeter of the store...we don't go down the aisle's (for the most part), because all the healthy stuff is on the outside. We don't eat canned or boxed foods...because of the preservatives and we are trying to eat only organically grown foods.

Also, we have been trying to become more active. Every night we go on walks after dinner. It is perfect for us, because we don't get to see one another very often. Also, it is so quiet and pieceful walking at night. Last night (valentines day) we went for a 4-mile walk. It was a lot of fun, and I am excited for our walk tonight. It is a chance for us to talk without interruption (Emma usually falls asleep during the walk). Also, before our nightly walks we were having difficulty putting Emma to bed at night. Now we haven't had any problems...the walks really tire her out.

We have a long way to go to become as healthy as we want to be. But we are doing the best we can, everyday.
