New Year, New Habits?

It's that time of year again, guys. The time when we make goals, and the time that we realize that we did not keep our resolutions from last year. Most people's top resolution is to lose some wieght, or to eat more healthy. Usually, what ends up happening is that after a week or a month, tops, you go back to your old ways, and ending up feeling like a failure.
If you want to eat more healthier, or to be more healthy, the first thing that you have to keep in mind is to not eat french fries, and chocolate chip cookies everyday. Sure, they are good for you, and tend to run on the cheaper side, but are they really the best choice? I think not.
The first thing that you want to do is to make fries a once in a while treat. Instead, replace the fried potatoes with carrots. They are only 15 calories, and help you gain some very important vitamin A.
Another thing you can do is to eat a healthy breakfast. No, that does not mean Trix ceral, with all of it's fruit shaped ceral. Instead, try a ceral with fiber in it. Fiber tends to make one feel more fuller, and more satisfied.
On  the go a lot? Instead of grabbing a Pop-Tart, try Quaker oatmeal bars to go. They have all of the nutrition of a regular bowl of oatmeal, but you just warm it in the microwave for ten to twenty seconds, and you can eat it on the go.
Like dessert? Don't cut that out of your day. Instead of eating a chocolate bar, why don't you try a Fiber One mocha bar? It's 140 calories, and gives you 35% of your daily amount of fiber. Like ice cream? Try yogurt, with lots of fruit, and it has calcuim in it, so that you will have strong bones. (just like your mother said)
Another thing that is important is excerise. That does not mean being a gym slave, and spending your whole life at the gym, especially if you never excerised. Start slow. Spend a half hour on the treadmill, and slowly build yourself to the point you want to be at.
The key thing in wieght loss, is not to go crazy. Everything is good in moderation, and of course, too much f everything is a bad thing. So, let's make 2011 the year that we reach those goals of ours!
