I haven't posted in a while so, sorry to those faithful readers of mine (both of you).

I have been trying to turn the corner on eating better and exercising more. In general i want to live a more active lifestyle which includes less television and more outside activities. Now mind you I am not in terrible shape or do i even eat all that bad, but i know i can do better. As most Americans go we are willing to put in better gas or oil into our cars but when it comes to our own bodies we think nothing of running through Mc Donald's or throwing in a pizza quick for super.

Some of the major reasons for this, which i can truly relate with, is that with two working parents its hard to find the time to make a decent meal. its so much quicker to make something easy and be done with it. It also cheaper spending $3.50 on fast food then buying quality groceries to make a well rounded meal.

I am making the conscious effort to eat better by planning ahead so that we can be better prepared in making better meals. also not watching TV for the sake of something to do. there is a whole world out there and i find the experiences and the times i am hiking, biking, snowshoeing, canoeing...etc are some of my richest experiences.
