Healthy Living

yes, being healthy is my new "thing" in life. It's actually both mine and jamie's. We love it. we go to the gym 3 times a week together, we eat healthy, mostly low carb, or actually, healthy carb, with lots of veggies and meat. we rarely eat out, mostly to save money, but also, we enjoy cooking.

And not only just plain boring chicken and brocoli. We use as many different spices and cooking methods as we can, and we are always on the lookout to learn new recipies and different ways of preparing and cooking things. we feed off each others passion for cooking as well.

We have bought 2 of those large excersise balls, one for my size and one for his size and we are currently putting together a Saturday morning program for us to do, so we don't need to go to the gym that day. I also bought two 5 pound dumbells (the soft kind) for us to work on some core strength training.

I also can't wait to get onto a basketball court and have jamie teach me some moves!

For those of you interested, some of our favourite sites are both women's and men's health. They have a lot of good information about everything! Here are the links, so go check it out and get healthy!

    Hey Willie!

    Thats great that you and Jamie are living so healthy! One of the things I noticed you wrote is that you guys don't eat out often. That is a GREAT way to save on the fat and price. And to all those people that say they only order "healthy" salads and crap when they go out...well just buy more friggin' lettuce and cook at home. Its more fun cooking with the people you live with, rather than always going out! Keep up the good (and hard) work wilson!

    thomas and i love to cook together too. is it sad that i get excited about new cook books?

    tonight thomas made this amazing sub sandwich thing. it was very yummy.

    we're trying to be healthy too. we've been skiing and today we skated on the canal for 3 hrs. never mind i fell a bunch of times and now i can't move my head.

    miss you!

    Thanks for the support gals! yes, cooking is great. i find it to be so satisfying, when you know you have made something that tastes soooo delicious. its even better when you find out how to make something even more yummy through experimenting, or even by mistake! it makes the food that much tastier!
