A New Leaf For a New Year

December 28, 2010

This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Jimmy Dean however the opinions and feelings expressed here are my own.

I’m not usually big on New Year’s Resolutions, simply because I hate feeling like a sheep going along with the crowd. I hate making a bunch of unreasonably difficult promises to myself that I know I’ll never be able to keep.

However, there’s something about the new year to inspire a fresh start. Maybe it’s the clean and uncluttered way everything looks once the Christmas decorations are back in the attic. Maybe it’s the uncluttered way life feels once the holiday hubbub has died down. Maybe it’s just the promise of a whole year stretched out ahead, full of the unknown. Whatever it is, I’m setting a couple of modest goals. I want to eat better and get back into the gym on a regular basis. If that helps me fit back into some of my old jeans then all the better. Mostly I just want to get a little healthier, have more energy and improve my mood.

One of my biggest challenges when it comes to eating better is reducing my intake of simple carbs. I know that when I focus more on lean proteins, fresh produce and whole grains and less on simple carbs and sugar I feel better, I lose the cravings and I generally lose weight.

The problem is that I love pasta. And rice. And bread. And dessert. Past experience has taught me that the fastest way to crave something is to put in my forbidden-food list. No particular food will ever be banned but I can make better choices at least some of the time.

Aside from my love of pasta and all things carb-filled, my habit of skipping breakfast gets in the way of eating well. I know all the reasons I’m supposed to eat in the morning but I just don’t do it. The breakfast foods I like aren’t usually the healthy choices. The healthy options that are also convenient get boring after a while. How many days in a row can I eat a hard boiled egg wrapped in single slice of dry rye toast before going crazy and giving up?

Frozen and/or convenience foods aren’t usually my thing but occasionally they really hit the spot, like this new product, D-Lights from Jimmy Dean. It’s easy, it’s packed with lean protein and it’ll help me start my day (and my year) off on the right foot. And they’re not too bad!

BlogHer and Jimmy Dean are kicking off the year with a “Better Breakfast, Better You”

And, because everyone loves a chance to start the year off with a win, there’s a great giveaway. What changes are you making for the new year? Leave a comment and get a chance at a $100 Visa Gift Card! Hurry, because the giveaway runs from December 28, 2010 through January 30, 2011.

197 Eileen January 20, 2011 at 8:43 pm: I know a better breakfast can make a better day for me…I usually ditch it all together or eat so late that it messes up my eating schedule and metabolism. To better help this, I need to eat MORE throughout the day, Healthy foods…starting with breakfast. I know the “starve” is not good and the whole DIET thing I am SO tired of. With kids in school I don’t worry about feeding myself “normal” anymore until dinner. I’d like to get to a point this year that I can be on track, eat like a normal woman again…where food is just FOOD and not an enemy, enjoy it and let be a tool to improve my rotten health. After that, I can work on getting my MOVE on again and stop being a couch slouch. Having chronic illness doesn’t mean you should stop working on yourself just because you have been “dealt” a rotten hand…it means you have to work harder and better at keeping healthy!
Hope I can put these better choices into ACTION!

thanks!

1) Eating a HEALTHY breakfast. No excuses, no exceptions.
2) Getting outdoors more, taking walks around the neighborhood, it’s relaxing and good for you so why the heck not.
3) Get Organized. I’ve been a mess all my life. Not a sloppy mess just, I toss things about and push things around and then spend an entire weekend working myself out of the weeds. So i’m making an effort to get organize and STAY organized.
3) Get in touch with friends, not just a text or a call but lunch, or brunch or coffee or a full on fancy date!

Now, I’m menu planning each week (and that bacon mac & cheese will have to be on my one off day!) to make sure I eat enough veggies and protein. Not a big fruit person.

299 cycy January 30, 2011 at 12:50 pm: Speaking of low carb, I have to eat that way. I have RA and it is the only way, besides exercise, to not have inflammation so I do a low inflammation diet. Good news is I make almond flour bread so I can have that.
So I am determined to stay on my special diet this year to be healthy, slim, and feel better, too. Only cheat at birthday parties or once in awhile. And dang, I looked pretty good in a dress yesterday and I am 55!

I’m trying so hard to lose this after-baby weight… shes 8 mo old and I’ve lost 15 lbs and I have 15 more to go! its a daily struggle to make healthy choices and be active. Hard to make enough time in the day, to take care of the baby and get my other little one to (and from) school, plus take care of myself, 2 dogs, the husband the house, but somehow I manage. (Moms do it everyday, but noone tells you how HARD it is! one was easy, two kids, totally diff! Lordy if I had more! ) Lord, grant me the serenity to not freak out over every little tiny mess. My resolution is to lose this weight!~
I am eating healthier and trying hard! .. Wish me luck!!!
