Duh!



Whoa! Two in one day…

Yes. There is one more thing that I did want to bring up—the primary reason why I wanted to actually post something, actually— and that is the fact that I am putting Aaron and myself on a diet. Aaron has had issues with his toe (he found out it’s gout) and I am just not eating right and have started to really feel it. I feel sluggish all the time and I still want to shed the pounds I gained during my first pregnancy.

So I have decided to put us on an almost vegetarian diet. By this, I mean, I am restricting us to two dinners with chicken, fish, or beef. Don’t get me wrong, I love eating beef but if it’s starting to cause issues like gout, we can do without it. I have also pretty much declared that we will not be drinking soda unless we’re having a party or something. This is a big one. Aaron pretty much grew up drinking coke over juices, milk, and water. Yep you read that right. Not that juice is the healthiest stuff in the world, but it’s better than soda. 

So far we’re doing pretty good. I’ve even started experimenting more with different grains such as farro, quinoa, barley, and millet.

So yes, I have also started making veggie and fruit shakes for us. This is basically a different way to get raw veggies in. Baby Girl loved these and Aaron didn't mind that I was throwing in raw kale. 

Phase two will be to get our ever expanding butts into some kind of workout regiment. The other night Baby Girl told Aaron and I that we have big tummies. Out of the mouths of babes...

I eat an "almost" vegetarian diet out of choice- I just don't like beef, pork, or red meat, never have. I will eat chicken and turkey though. I would suggest eating healthy chicken & veggie meals. Also working out is a great idea. I just got a gym membership recently and I love going to the local gym!
