Butter is healthy, right?

I’m not sure if I could say that we’ve been eating healthier but we’ve been eating!

I’m actually quite proud of myself because I’ve been really good trying new recipes. Chicken stirfy was sooo last year.

Last week was the first week in a long, long time, or even the first that we had homemade lunches for the whole week. Usually we’ll bring homemade lunches on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays and that would be the end of the streak. Unfortunately, Hubby dear didn’t bring his lunch today. Apparently the prawns looked too scary :S

Anyway, aside from that, we’ve been good. I think it helps a lot that our fridge is really organized. The Hubby used his Christmas money and bought an upright freezer! So last Saturday, we went on a huge grocery run and now we’re stocked with great ingredients!

Even though it's a pain to plan out meals, I've been enjoying it (so far). It helps and really motivates me when the Hubby shows his appreciation. Each time I serve him dinner, he says “Oh boy!” and gives me a kiss. Then after dinner, he will say thanks and tell me it was delicious.

Tonight, hmm… haven’t decided yet. Should I try the pan-fried whitefish recipe or go with chicken something? Whatever I decide, I'll try to use less butter!

Happy New Year!

I just re-read my last post and wow, things have not changed! I celebrated the new year with another 10 lbs! Yikes!

Okay so this time, it will be for reals yo.

The Hubby and I started eating healthy yesterday and hopefully sometime in the near future, I can add exercise activities to my new lifestyle. I still have a membership with C.urves. I know, money wasted but I’ll try again and see if I can kick the new habit into gear.

Any goals this year? Nothing out of the ordinary. I want to be healthier, organized, proactive and I want to work harder on our (The Hubby and I) relationship. We’ve had some really great moments and some bad ones. Unfortunately, the bad ones tend to stick out more. So this year, I want to be a better wife, a better friend.

So here’s to another year!!! Hip, hip hurrah!
