Healty Eating

I have always been a big fan of eating healthier foods... but I have to admit that I love my candy and fast food. Jason and I decided recently that we are going to start eating healthier. We are eating organic foods as much as we can now... well I am slowly starting to switch everything over. We are also going to be cutting out sodas, fast food (the occasional Chick-Fil-A is ok) and eating foods that don't come from a box. I think we started getting excited about this because we love The Biggest Loser and we see the transformation in people's lives when they exercise and cut out the unhealthy stuff. It won't be perfect and I know I will cheat, but if we can eat health 80-85% of the time, I think we'll be good :)
