We’re so excited about our latest post in our Healthy Living series! As we mentioned in our Healthy Choices Mean Healthy Living post, hubby is down 10+ pounds, and we’re continuing to work out 2-3 times per week! We’ve definitely increased our water intake this week, and we made it over the Easter hump (this means all of our leftovers are gone!).  Now we’re refocused, and had a chance to create a new healthy foods shopping list.  We were also able partner with Healthy Choice to test two of their new amazing products that we want to tell you about! You can check out our Healthy Choice Google+ story .

Remember how we told you about our trip to the Weight Management Center at our local Health Center? Well, one of the main things our physician told us was that preparing healthy foods is a cyclical process. First you have to plan a healthy meal, then you have to gather the ingredients. This is followed by purchasing needed ingredients, then preparing the food, and finally cooking the food! There were 5-6 steps between just thinking about what you wanted to eat and actually eating it!

We agreed that this was one of our toughest areas, because I don’t exactly love to cook. Hubby loves to cook, but not always healthy foods. So, we needed a compromise for those nights when you’re in a rush. We have karate two nights a week, and hubby is still going to the gym to meet with his trainer 2 nights a week. So, we needed a quick solution for those nights that wouldn’t break our budget. This is why we were so excited to try out two new Healthy Choice products!

We have two Healthy Choice coupons for our readers in the right sidebar of this page! Just scroll and look to the right side, and they are both available to print (more than once!). 

We headed out to Walmart to check out the Healthy Choice selections, and knew we needed items that suited our taste buds, and that were quick to prepare. We decided to try their Top Chef Meals, and went with the Chicken Linguini with Red Pepper Alfredo.  We also wanted something for dessert, so we choice the Healthy Choice Strawberry Greek Yogurt as our something sweet! These also come in 100 calorie portions, which was perfect for tracking our daily calorie intake with our FitBit/My Fitness Pal app we told you about in our last post in the series!

Of course, we couldn’t wait to try all the new products, so for dinner that evening we taste-tested the new dinner and the frozen yogurt for dessert. We were very excited at how easy it was to make the meal, which you literally microwave, stir, and serve! Three simple steps (this is where I will be telling our doctor that some nights, three steps to preparing the meal is all you need!) was all this meal required.

Of course, we were anticipating dessert, and I am telling you that I’m 100% sold on the Healthy Choice Greek Frozen Yogurt. It was creamier than ice cream! I am not kidding! I could not believe how creamy it was, and only 100 calories, plus it was Greek Yogurt! As you can see below, we’ll definitely be using Healthy Choice as part of our weight loss menu plan!

Of course little man had to be silly for the camera!
