This Friday, the wife had a.. um.. moment of clarity.
Once upon a time, our household was more healthy. We both exercised and we were definitely eating better. But... stress and other issues got in the way.
This Friday, the wife had her own moment of awakening and said "I need to exercise and I need to eat better. Do I have your support?"
Memo to anyone who is in a long-term relationship. There is only one correct answer to this question.
In an effort to get some better food, we ended up going to another local Farmer's Market. We'd been to one in the church of K's church on Hunter Mill Road, but frankly, it was... disappointing. When I go to a Farmer's Market, I'm looking for good, fresh produce. The stuff at the first Farmer's Market was... disappointing. So we found another one off Little River Turnpike (kind halfway between us and![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
spydielives and it was MUCH more impressive. There were at least four fresh fruit and vegetable stands. We left with alot of stuff... potatoes, broccoli, beets, green beans, strawberries.. I forget what other produce, and fresh wheat bread.
Then, after practice and Star Trek, we came home and figured out what to DO with it all.
Our fridge is absolutely PACKED with healthy food. There's large containers of chicken on wild rice, containers of green beans with almonds, containers of bulgur with savory greens (dinners for K), container of salmon with life and herbs (dinners for me), containers of Baked Beets and Garlic (for me). I'm not kidding, the fridge is TOTALLY PACKED!!
On top of that, K has been slowly exercising. She's.. half-guilting, half-inspiring me to actually get down to business myself.
So... we shall see where this leads. Hopefully someplace good.
