School has ended and there are certainly changes to be had at our home this year.  With the kids home during the day and both of us working, we have had to look at snacks and lunch in a different way this year.  Our oldest son, Andre', has a job working this summer with me three days a week.  We decided to get a small fridge for my office so that we can take beverages, our lunch, and healthier snacks.  This has been something that I have considered for a long time, but with this project, and with two of us being affected, it became the right time.

I have stated in previous posts how our grocery buying habits have changed, and we are sticking to it.  Traditional snacks of cookies, chips, and soda has been decreasing and being replaced with veggies, popcorn, and water.  I would love to change my soda drinking habits, but haven't quite been able to get away from my Classic Coke.  I have not found a diet soda that does not cause me an increase in headaches, so I guess that I will just continue to cut back and drink more water.

This last week has been extremely busy with our children's soccer practices and games, yet we were able to drop off our daughter for her game and to go for a 45 minute walk.  Normally we would have just sat down and waited for the game to start and watch them warmup, but going for a brisk walk during this time certainly was a better use of our time.

Untill next week, I encourage all to work at making just one small change in your lifestyle for the better.  If it works for one week, then do it again the second week.
