day!
Travis:
173.8 lbs.Katie: 133.4 lbs.
We got back from our summer vacation and had NO food in the house. The nice part about this was that there wasn't any food to tempt us, but the bad part was there wasn't any 'good' food either.
Exercise: 20 min Athletic Strength Training DVD. This women looks like she is 60 years old and she was kicking our trash! I guess after being in the car traveling for longer than I care to admit we got a little out of shape! Hope tomorrow's workout is better!

Knowledge
is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it into a fruit salad.
Dinner:
This was
the true test of willpower today! We went over to some friends house for a BBQ.
No hot
dogs, hamburgers, chips, desserts for us! I was surprised and how full my plate
got while still sticking to only fruits and vegetables. My brain wanted SUGAR,
but I stayed strong!
(Sorry, no
picture...I couldn't think of a way to take one without drawing attention to
myself.)
Day Three - July 21
Okay, so I am a terrible blogger and
haven't kept track of the days very well. So instead of giving a daily account,
here are a few more pictures of our meals and some of our exercise routines. We
had to repeat several meals because I had a hard time coming up with new menu
ideas that were only fruits and vegetables.

Exercise: We tried to stay active during the
last 15 days. We played handball, Ultimate Frisbee, did ab exercises, leg
exercises, went swimming, went bike riding, etc. We are trying to have eating
right and exercising be part of our lifestyle instead of another thing to check
off our to do list.
R E S U L T S
And now
what you have all been waiting for...was it worth it?!!? YES! I don't want to
eat only fruits and vegetables for the rest of my life, but we have had a mind
change. We want to keep eating like this and adding some other food groups in
small quantities.
Eat
breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper...no more
late night snacking for us!

Now What?
We are going to try a whole foods diet and see how that works for us. There is a great website www.onceamonthmom.com that has great menu ideas for this! Check it out!
I am still not to my goal weight so I guess those skinny jeans will have to wait, but hopefully soon!
