4 Hour Body

On July 11 Peter and I decided to make a life changing decision in the direction of our health and what we eat. We bought this book called: The 4 Hour Body. If you are interested in the guide lines for this diet, I will list them below.

What we CAN'T eat.

1. Wheat, Rice and oats.

2. Milk and Cheese.

3. Sugar, Honey ect.

4. Fruit (except for tomatoes and avocados).

What we CAN eat.

1. Veggies of any kind.

2. Meat(fish, chicken, beef...)

3. Water.

4. Beans.

5. Cottage Cheese, Plain Yogurt and Eggs.

You are suppose to eat the things listed above for 6 days, every 4 hours and then on the 7th day you pig out and eat what ever you are craving that day (of course while also doing some work out routines and drinking lots of caffeine). I have been having a fun time thinking up and creating some yummy meals. Of course this is no easy task with a husband who needs food for at least 4 meals while he has duty and all we eat is fresh food now.

Here are some pictures of some meals that we have been enjoying! If you have any questions on how we are doing with this diet or our progress feel free to contact me personally. Please check out the book at your local library if it does interest you.

Lettuce wrapped burger.

Chicken with garlic pinto beans and spinach.

Asian Lettuce Wraps

OK, this is really late but I though I would do a quick post on what Peter and I did for Memorial Day week-end. Aunt Lynn and family came up to take us to the Olympic Wild Life Farm. It was really fun and enjoy the pictures!

Our First Trip to the Olympic National Forest.

Here is some pictures from a trip we took last month. The weather was beautiful and we enjoyed the amazing scenery.

We hiked a good 7 miles round trip hike with the majority of it being on a steep incline. That day I started to feel sore all over and was still sore the next day. I am hoping the weather continues to be this beautiful this summer so we can enjoy some more hiking trips.

Heading back down.
