Update on progress




So, we are doing really well on the family fitness end of things. Our 9 yr old is on the swim team at the Y. My hubby swims about 6 days a week and has lost probably 15 lbs. I workout about 6 days a week, and usually do the stepper for 30 min, lots of weight machines, and stretches and crunches. I've lost 9 lbs. We feel lots more energy and not as stressed out. Our new goals are to keep losing weight, adding muscle tone. We are still trying to make our diets better constantly. I got the kids eating breakfasts here at home now instead of the crappy "free" school breakfasts of poptarts, can fruit and juice... (can you say sugar!) And yesterday, got out the bento lunch box sets and started making lunches for them too. So, no more crappy white crust pizzas, with pepperoni and god knows what else! But will loosly follow http://www.veganlunchbox.com/ and her ideas for kid friendly lunches. I personally have set some goals of adding green smoothies (which I am still reluctant...) And eating a more high raw vegan diet. Although, I am the healthies eater in the house. Hubby still instists he "can't " be a vegan and live! (I have to make him chicken in his dinner every night.) But, have been "sneaking" in more chick'n analogs... So, the goals would be:

1.make family green smoothies daily
2.keep up the breakfasts and lunches for kids instead of school food
3.get hubby over to the vegan side!
4.keep trying new veggies to keep stuff interesting
5.more raw meals
6.add more fresh fruits daily
7.keep up workout schedules
8.buy new kitchen items: section plates,vitamix,excalibur dehydrator,raw and vegan cookbooks.
9.remember to take pics of food BEFORE its eaten!
