Oh man! We have been very busy lately and not really home a lot. Which means eating out or eating junk food. When we got back from the Outer Banks this weekend I decided that we're going to have to go to the grocery store no matter how tired we were (after a 6 hour drive) and get some healthy food! It was amazing that our groceries for the entire week cost about the same as what it cost us to eat out one night! I don't mind preparing the food, it was just getting to the grocery store to buy it that's been in the way. I'm going to make sure that for the rest of our busy summer I get to the grocery store for when we're home so we can eat healthy and lose some of this weight. Not only was it hard on the bank account, the scale is really yelling at us.

That is what we find as well, we save loads of money, and we also feel much better when consuming home made foods. If we admit it, usually the flavor is better as well. I am with you guys 100%. Gonna go kill a watermelon right now, need a snack.

Usually when I'm on vacation and not eating as well as I should I crave things like broccoli and apples. I've been trying to get as many veggies and fruits in as possible when away from home, but it's not that easy.

I totally understand what your saying about it costing as much as weeks worth of Groceries!. Well, you have a good game plan to get to the store quick. And to get the healthy stuff back into the house and into your bodies.
I too am tryign to lose weight, I joined SparkPeople. Have you ever heard of the sight!?

No, I have not heard of SparkPeople. I use VitalityForLife.com. They have a great program and as long as I follow it I do great! So I'm back to the plan and things are looking up - and my body doesn't feel as sluggish either.

It is very hard to eat right when you're away from home, but that's what vacation is all about right? Now we just need to keep eating right when we're at home...
