I started last year, eating as much fresh fruits and vegetables as possible. This year my resolution is to try a new fruit or veg, each month. For Jan, we tried the spagetti squash... really didn't have a flavor, but did add a crunch. I tried it as spagetti the first night, used left overs in taco salad the next night, and in a chef salad the third night. I find I want more of it now... but I need to find a new item for feb. now...
This does save money in a way, and it is expanding my knowledge of food items I may never have tried before.
Being out of work though, I notice I am just eating all day long and am gaining weight not loosing it... going to have to step up my exercise I guess. I do 30 min yoga, 1 mile on gazelle, 20 sit ups on ball.

I plan to get the girls outside in the stroller as soon as the weather gets a little warmer, but for now we'll continue to visit the mall. If it weren't for our unwieldy double stroller I'd probably go into more stores, though, so that actually helps us save money I guess! Jenn´s last blog post..Free Bottle of Suave Shampoo

I've started walking with a group of friends and we don't count on everyone every night...just who ever show up. We laugh and we walk and we aren't meeting at a restaurant where we'll spend money and eat junk! Alexis´s last blog post..Using My Voice

AMEN! I've thought this very often. We have a pretty healthy lifestyle as we dno't eat out much, don't drink soda, and barely ever watch TV. It is amazing that getting one thing in your life in order helps us get the other things in order too! Libby´s last blog post..Remember when?

I used thedailyplate.com last July and August to track calories while I tried to lose some weight and it helped a lot. For it being a free website to use, it has a ton of information. It will track your daily calories and tell you how many to strive for based on your current stats and goals. It seems painstaking to enter everything that you eat in a day, but it helps you realize what you are eating and after awhile you don't even have to enter it all in, you will learn the calories in the foods that you eat most and start to do it mentally every time you eat. I lost 20 lbs in 7 weeks and kept it off until the holidays but even then I only gained 6 back. I will be working on those six in the coming weeks!!!

The Wii Fit is wonderful! A word of caution: Don't be fooled by how fun & easy the workout seems (the beauty of this program). You will be sore later. My husband underestimated his workout & pulled his back after two: one hour-long sessions on the Wii. ;)
