Greetings and thanks for joining us on this journey to a healthier us.
[Update March 2018] Well, life has a unique way of making changes. You’re job is too either roll with those changes and do well, or to whine about those changes and do less well. The cruxt of the matter is that changes is coming. There were changes for us, the site, the climate in this country, and everything that goes along with all that. The below paragraphs are both true. There will be changes to the site. But the primary stuff will remain. The next paragraph is still true. Good Eating!!
The philosophy of this blog and content is twofold. First, we are creating recipes to help you learn to eat better and cook better. A lot of the recipes may seem strange at first and little bit unwieldy, but you will find that the longer you eat clean, the more diverse your pantry and refrigerator get. The more diverse your taste buds get and you can discover brand new and different things to experience. We only experience about 8-12% percent of the available tastes out there in this country, we want to expand that and open you up. Second, in our journey, we discovered something about health. It is not just how you feel or how thin you are. It is everything. It is healthy eating, healthy sleeping, healthy sex, healthy minds, and healthy relationships. The Healthy Us is about being overall healthy and happy. I am going to leave the origin paragraph below so you know how we got started in September, 2014. Our journey is not over and is ongoing. But rather than justlosing weight, we are gaining so much more by shifting our personal goals and dreams. Cheers!
Our goal is to help 10,000 people increase their overall happiness in life. Happy and healthy go hand in hand!!
Helping you become the Happiest and Healthiest Human You Can Be.
[September 2014] So, we were fat. Not necessarily rock the house fat, but well on the way. I (Sam) am the guy and I weighed in at 265.8lbs at the not respectable height of 5′ 10″. This was unacceptable. My wife (Emily, but her details will not be published until she gives me permission) and I made a choice to make some big changes in our life. Our weight, health, house and lifestyle was out of control and far away from what we both imagined in our younger days. Enter a good friend (Nameless) and some results were found in her life from a specific plan. It was called LTL (Live the Lifestyle) and she had some amazing results with it. My wife was intrigued by it and brought the idea of it home to try. I will not really talk more about it as that is not the focus of this blog, the other stuff is the focus. Us, the journey we are taking with our friends, the food, the plan and the change is the focus here. I mention it simply for a reference point and if you would like more information about it specifically, please contact and follow us for more information. This site is a work in progress so keep an eye for changes and increased functionality.
Now: The Journey to a new and awesome life continues!
