the rules of eating

With summer rapidly approaching, Justin and I feel the need to finally "get into shape". We're not fanatic workout/health food people, but we both know that we could improve on both. This coupled with the fact that we're engaged and wanting to look good for our wedding has motivated us to get serious and make our goals a reality. So far our health plans have been mostly talk, until this week when Justin has been turning up the pressure. He likes to tell me what I shouldn't be eating, and of course, I do the same to him. Since we both like to tell each other what not to eat, I decided we should make this whole getting-into-shape thing a little more interesting. Each of us had a chance to write down 5 foods that were off limit to the other person - without seeing our own list. Here is what we came up with

the objective: get in shape
the game: 5 foods that are off limit
the rules: we are not allowed to eat the items written under our name
the fun part: i picked out the foods on justin's no-no list and he picked mine. we clearly picked each others favorite foods. (ok, i would not consider butter one of my favorite foods - but, i do prefer it to the nasty fake stuff which i will soon be eating)

Our list of foods that are off limit:
Spenser:
1. peanut butter
2. real butter
3. ice cream
4. chips
5. pop

Justin:
1. ice cream
2. ranch
3. french fries
4. alfredo sauce
5. pop

the one and only thing that will be hanging on my fridge when we get home

p.s. I already told Justin I get one pass this weekend - fish and chips :)
