Pantry/Fridge Makeover

I got my first pseudo-complaint out of the husband today. He's incredibly supportive of me eating better, working out, and trying to lose weight. I guess he just didn't realize that this life makeover of mine meant that he would be eating differently too. I went to the grocery store today, and when I got home with the groceries, I threw out all the junk in the fridge and pantry. I didn't buy any chips or snack cakes or any other junk food at the store. I was so excited to show Joel all the stuff I got and how hard I worked on the pantry and fridge. He was a good sport and pretended to be excited about Greek Yogurt and Organic Granola. After a few minutes he says...

"So...what do we have for snack food?"

"Well, we have vegetables, fruit, granola bars, Quaker rice snacks..."

"Oh, didn't you get chips or something?"

"No, we're not having junk in the house anymore because if it's here, I'll eat it. Plus, we all need to be eating healthier."

"I eat healthy..."

"Yeah, eating a whole bag of chips in one sitting is really healthy."

He paused, looked at me knowingly and said, "Oh...ok." He didn't complain. He just walked away and sat in the living room with a disappointed look on his face (presumably mourning the loss of fried foods from the pantry.) I couldn't help but giggle to myself a little.

So! That being said. I'm am very excited about my fridge and pantry makeover!

I'm trying some new things. I've heard a bit about Greek Yogurt lately, so I got a few different brands to try. I'm trying Egg Beaters as well. I'm skeptical, but trying to remain open-minded.

I'm also trying Soy Milk. I'm starting with the chocolate flavor. Adding chocolate to anything has to make it good.

Our freezer is now full of lean meats and frozen fruits and veggies. I also got some frozen meals for work lunches (until I get a better grip on planning out meals and eating healthy. These are an easy go-to for right now.) and some Smart Ones and Skinny Cow desserts because, honestly, who expects me to go without dessert? Yeah, no one.
The pantry is now full of tuna, granola bars, granola, trail mix, whole grain breads, etc. I'm trying bagel thins. I'd never heard of them until I started reading N Her Shoes (the link is on the right.) She uses them for pretty much any kind of sandwich she makes, so I'm going to try them.

Fruit Corner!

Vitamins!

And this is what we had for dinner tonight. Pork chops, long grain and wild rice, and broccoli and carrots. (Please note: it was INCREDIBLY difficult for me to measure out that 1/4 cup serving of rice and not go back to finish off the rest that was left in the pot.)

It's been a very productive and motivational day! Tomorrow I will do a lot of meal prep for next week.
