Time to Get Healthy!

Lauren and I started our training for a half marathon last week. We are participating in the Bass-Pro Outdoor Fitness Festival Half-Marathon on November the 6th. Lauren has already completed a half-marathon this spring in Kansas City, and this will be my first half-marathon. We have added a training partner as well. In late June we adopted an abandoned puppy named Daisy Duke. She is a beagle-shepherd, according to Lauren's step dad Dave, a local vet.

Along with our half-marathon training we are also beginning a goal of eating better at home. Not only does this include eating better but also cutting down on our eating out and saving a few cents along the way.

One way that we have worked on eating at home more is by grilling a large amount of chicken breasts and then refrigerating them to use in dishes throughout the days ahead. This has simplified our cooking and shaved time off of our meal preparation.

We shall see how this trend progresses. Stay tuned for further updates.
