Us...healthy? saving money??

Okay, so we did get to enjoy an extravagent vacation the first week of our summer, but since then we have been keeping it low key and trying to focus on losing weight, eating healthy, and saving money. Like most people of our generation, we love to go out to eat (clearly)! But the reality of being a teacher (i.e. no summer paychecks) has set in and we had to re-work our priorities. We also have a long term goal of one day having a baby, and we need to get healthier before that can happen. I am proud to say that Ryan has met his goal weight and I am on my way there (20 lbs down). Instead of focusing on traveling and restaurants, I will try to post some of the healthier (and every now and then, not so healthy!) recipes we've been making. Lately our diet consists of an apple and milk for breakfast, a salad or pita for lunch, and some sort of chicken or lean beef for dinner. Originally we tried to only eat organic vegetables and chicken, but unfortunately our lack of funds has cut down on that, but we're trying! So for now, our focus is on each other, getting healthy, exercising, and Sadie! PS. Have we mentioned how much we love our dog?!?
