Healthy Living.

So I kept telling myself everyday this week that I really needed to update my blog, but I just felt like there was nothing exciting to blog about! To be honest this week has kind of sucked... Austin had 3 tests this week. Yes you read that right 3! Usually he only has one on Mondays but it is kind of midterms right now so he had a test Monday, Wednesday and then today (Friday). Luckily he aced all of them so we can breath a little easier this weekend!!!! But none the less I have been a little husbandless this week. Anyways that was not the point of my blogging as you can see by the title of this blog.

So over the past few weeks I seriously felt like all I ate was sugar. Whenever I wanted a snack I would end up eating jelly beans, cake (yes we made a whole cake just for the heck of it and I ended up eating more than half of it), cinnamon rolls, Blue Bell ice cream.. you name it, I ate it. And as I was eating all this I just kept thinking to myself "this is so disgusting, I can't believe how much crap I am eating!" As a side note, when Austin and I started dating we got in the really bad habit of having a treat after dinner which is weird because neither of us was raised that way. Seriously the longer we have been together, the worse the habit has gotten. Well one night my friend Brooke was telling us girls about a website called wordofwisdomliving.com. She sent us the link and I decided we need to be eating healthier but with a husband like Austin, sometimes this is like pulling teeth (he doesn't really like anything healthy besides like... grapes :D) Now I'm not really an extremest when it comes to eating healthy but I figured I need to be eating a little less cake and a little more fruit. I tell Austin all the time that this is my philosophy in life...  there is unhealthy, then there is healthier, and then healthiest! Like for example we eat a lot pasta because it is the one thing we can both agree on so there is unhealthy, which it just normal pasta noodles, then there is healthier, which is like whole wheat noodles and then the healthiest would be cutting back on the amount of pasta we eat or not eating pasta all together. Anyways long story short, I went to the grocery store and stocked up on healthy things for us to snack on. I didn't buy any cookies or treats because I knew I would just end up eating those and in order to ween myself off that stuff I just can't have it in my house at all. So I just wanted to show a picture of what our fridge looked like this week...

I mean look at all that good stuff! Grapes, strawberries, carrots, some yogurts and apples. 

I don't know how long we are going to be able to keep this up but I am really proud of all the good things I have eaten this week haha and do you like how I label the tupperware containers? Yeah that is because if I don't, Austin won't eat them. He told me once he has to be able to see the things in order to eat them so I made it easy. I put them up in front, washed them, cut them up, labeled them so all he has to do is eat them! hahah 

And while we are on the topic of food I also wanted to show our cereal collection... 

Is it unusual for two people to have 5 different cereal choices in their house at one time!! hahaha I can only imagine what it will be like when we have kids...
