Healthy Habits

We are trying to develop more healthy habits around here! Easier said, than done, but I made a goal this year to do one or two healthy habits each week--just little things sometimes, like boiling a dozen eggs each week or having one of the boys cut up/clean veggies within a day or two of shopping, etc. Sometimes they are bigger, like buying a salad spinner. Anyway, I thought if I focused on one or two each week, and if I wrote it somewhere (on Reish Ramblings!), I would be more inclined to follow through.

So here they are so far....and hopefully, this will force me to add to this list each week!

January

HH 1: Ten mins of exercise every day regardless....I can/often do participate in more exercises---ballroom dancing for two to four hours a week, T-Tapp moves more than the ten minutes, but the ten mins a day is do-able and makes things more consistent for me.

HH 2: Take my vitamins and alfalfa every morning before I do any work or emails, etc. I am always going to "come back" later to take them, after this next little thing or after I finish this real quick, etc. No vitamins/no work should help me 'coz I love to work!

HH 3: Veggie Straws. Now, unlike the lady in line behind me when I bought these (who said, "I buy those too--gotta get veggies into the kids any way I can!"), I know these are not health foods--nor are they vegetables! However, they are lower in carbohydrates, give you more for the calories (38 of them!), have a little fiber, and are better than chips for my guys.

HH 4: Huge bag of almonds. I have been steering away from nuts more in the past eight months of my weight loss because I was on a low calorie/low carb/low fat diet. Formerly, I had been on a low to moderate carbohydrate diet and gained weight--from eating the insides of fattening sandwiches and nuts, probably! Anyway, I am trying to build up a snack repetoire for my guys that is less "bad" than other snacks--not a very noble goal, I know. But it's a starting point. So.....along with our veggie straws, our snack cupboard now has nuts again!

HH 5: Salad spinner. I have always secretly thought that we could have salads like restaurants if I just invested in a salad spinner. It's probably not true. But maybe it will help the boys clean and rinse veggies a little better.
