New Years Resolutions

Posted by Samantha Rufle Dec 18, 2007

Personally, I think it is a conspiracy. We are encouraged to have a new years resolution right after the "feast" month of the year. So, of course we have this (losing weight) as our New Years resolution. I would like to challenge everyone this year to pick something a little more interesting. Resist going to the book store and buying the next diet book and then resolving to "eat like that" the entire year (which you are not going to do BTW). Instead resolve to doing something really new. Learn guitar, or origami. Resolve to get a better job, take a once in a lifetime vacation or spend more time with the family.

As a nutrition writer I definitely do not want to discorage you from eating healthy. Oh no. Please eat healthy, please read here for more information but I am suggesting that you do not resolve to eat better. Just do it. Start off with breakfast. If you do not eat breakfast then eat it!. If you are going to make one nutrition related New Years resolution then make it- TO EAT BREAKFAST. Then find a healthy breakfast. Like my smoothie for instance.

The thing is, giving yourself something to live for will motivate you to take better care of yourself and in turn hopefully you will work in some healthy eating, right?

RESOLVE TO MAKE A MEMORY! (and nobody wants to remember a diet!)
