Eating Healthy AND Enjoying It

Jace and I are in the final phase of a diet we've been on, Jace since November and me since January. We've both done well and reached the goals we set for ourselves!

One of the greatest things that has come out of it, besides losing weight of course, is that we have broken our addictions to junk food, sweets, fast food etc. Eating an apple or some berries is like a special treat. Dried apricots are my new addiction. Eggs and oatmeal are our cravings. We feel great and NOT hungry! And we are saving money because we only eat at home. I sincerely hope that we can keep this up when our diet no longer dictates what we can eat. The benefits seem to far outweigh the temporary satisfaction of eating something tasty but with no nutritional value whatsoever.

Here's a picture of the chicken kabobs we grilled tonight. Red and orange bell pepper, onion, pineapple and chicken marinaded in our own homemade concoction (sugar-free, I might add!). They were super easy to make, filling, and YUMMY!

Dinner is served!
