If you cannot find motivation, find motivational posters!

Sunday, January 8th, 2012

Typically, I am not an advocate for having two similar posts back to back but since I am concentrating on my healthy new year; it seemed appropriate to add these motivational posters as well. These are my top ten!

Regret what you don’t do

Pain of being overweight

Don’t stop until you are tired  Not losing weight

Faster than the couch  Keep Going  Sweat is fat crying

Do it

Exercise or Illness

New Years Resolutions

Sunday, January 1st, 2012

I’m not a big fan of resolutions. I believe that if there is something you want to change or work on, you should start doing it when you think about it and not wait for a specific day….Say January 1st, to make it happen. That is why, ten days ago my husband and I decided we were going to try to eat better.

You should know, that we are BOTH picky eaters. We are creatures of habit and the staples in our house have always been pizza, grilled cheese, french toast, muffins, and more. Basically, we ate like teenagers even though we are in our late 30′s. So we sat down, agreed to try new foods and only buy healthy options and I must say, it has been a smoother transition than I ever imagined.

Here are 8 items that helped us steer in the right direction:

Eat Right Rule   Foods that Boost your MetabolismEat Seasonably Calendar

Food List for Weight Loss

Small Meals 5 Times a Day

Food Equivalents

Healthy Cooking Substitutes

25 Healthy Snacks

Hope they help some of you!
