June 2014: Health Month

I need to preface this by saying that we kind of failed at our Fitness month in January, so this was kind of a re-try. I'd say we

did pretty good. 

Healthy Eating

We went to the farmer's market twice and stocked up on tons and tons of vegetables and fruit. we ate mostly chicken and fish for our meats and we had plenty of fresh veggies and fruit just about every day. There was a whole 3 day weekend where we ended up eating brats, chips, baked beans, and dips due to parties and gaming. That wasn't the healthiest, but all in all, for us, we did really good. I want to continue the healthy eating by continually having veggies and fruit around. I felt so much better health-wise while eating this way. 

Exercise

We actually did really great with exercise this time around. We went to the gym every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday where we spent 20 minutes doing cardio and extra 10-15 minutes lifting weights and doing crunches. It felt really great to get into a regular exercise routine. It was something that I would have happily continued, but then I got new job and started working 10-12 hour days which made it really hard to work out. We have only worked out once per week for the last two weeks, however it is July now so we made it through the whole month of June! YAY!
