Well in the last month we have been working pretty hard to establish an intentional eating plan. I realize that we haven't been on here in quite some time... alot has happened since my last post. So, instead of boring you with the details of the last year, howabout I just dive into the goals for the next 10 months...

1) Continue with the success I have had with Weight Watchers... 35 lbs so far... 35 to go!!

2) Continue working with my personal trainer... LOVE IT!

3) Continue improving on my cardio... Just signed up for my first half-marathon... Oh my!!

4) Continue spending valuable time planning our meals and developing creative eating plans for our daily living.

5) Share #4 with all of you...

My hopes in all of this is that I can be more accountable and give each of you that may struggle with some of the same things I do the drive and motivation to plan on your own... or maybe you can just use the plan that I put out there and hopefully have the same success that my family has had with all of it. Eventually, I hope to dig in enough to where I will post the cost of each day/week/month. That's where my husband comes in... that's his part in all of this. As I create these plans, he figures out the cost of them. When we can get a good working budget for a rolling menu we'll share that.

Here's what to expect...

I will post our weekly menu. I will include the recipes for certain dishes. I will add tips and comments about those that I have tried or those that I will alter. I will include the grocery list for each meal and suggestions for what you should have on hand at all times. Like I said, eventually we will compliment each dish with the cost... but I'm not there yet.

I hope you will join us in this adventure... this is something that is very important to us and very exciting... Food is a passion of mine and yet it is also an obsession that has cost me several years of unhappiness. Well, no more. I have taken my passion and turned it into a drive to be healthy and now I'd like to bring others along with me. Please note that the dishes that I will include are apart of a strategically designed healthy living plan. It is not a diet and not a fad... this is our lifestyle. When we induldge we try to stay within certain boudaries and I will encourage you to do the same.

Here's to healthy living and loving every moment of it....
