Shopping

Keeping track of your purchases is the best way to make sure you're staying on budget, not to mention eating well. Emmy and I making some changes to our diet, trying to eat less saturated fats and "lighter" foods, such as light cream cheese instead of regular, and 2% milk in our coffee instead of half&half. Not only will these foods be better for us, they will also precipitate weight loss.

Already, by hiking yesterday, eating lighter foods, and having more control over portion control, we went from 138 lbs to 136.8 lbs! Way to go!

~3 bell peppers 4.99
~1 medum hot pepper 25c
