Something Healthy Please!

Wow. I'm excited to start blogging! It must be because it's something new. Maybe these enthusiastic posts will make up for missing days of posting, which I'm sure are to come?! Sounds good to me!
Well, the hubby and I had a chance to go for dinner lastnight sans girls. So, just us and the babe - 5 months - who needs a congratulations for getting his first 2 bottom teeth through without sleepless nights! What a good little boy. Love him. Dinner was nice. We were on our way for something easy and started talking about what we might eat. We're both getting tired of the grease/calorie filled dishes that we could make better ourselves and decided we weren't going to be enjoying the food so were trying to think of a healthier choice restaurant. We listed a good handful and none were really 'healthy'! We debated about going back home but I was not in the mood to cook. We know there are some nicer restaurants downtown that are fresh food/chef prepared but then you're looking at a much more expensive bill and not super baby friendly... Seriously? Are there no healthy restaurant choices? Help me out here - please feel free to share your insights! I'd love to know of some great new places to eat. I do know there are some places with"healthy" choices...but is it truly 'fresh' food? BESIDES a salad!
Anyway - we ended up at Moxie's. We do love that place and haven't been there together in ages. Mike had enchiladas (healthy?...probably not, but a nice choice other than burgers/deep fried food). I had 'Fraser Valley free-run chicken with goat cheese'. Sounded healthy and I can never get enough of chicken. It was pretty good! But, they have to make it not healthy, don't they? The chicken still had the skin on and it was fried. Really yummy though. Just a step away from 'healthy'.
Trust me, we're not healthy all the time. We definatly love our snacks and cravings and don't pass them up often but it's nice to try...and well, restaurants just make us feel bloated lately.
And since we have embarked on our 90 day challenge, we are more motivated to eat better.
So - I guess this day was about food! Not my intention but here it is non the less!
