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.<\/span><\/p>\n

So here they are so far….and hopefully, this will force me to add to this list each week!<\/span><\/p>\n

January<\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

HH 1: Ten mins of exercise every day regardless<\/strong>….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.<\/span><\/p>\n

HH 2: Take my vitamins and alfalfa every morning before I do any work or emails, etc. <\/strong>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!<\/span><\/p>\n

HH 3: Veggie Straws. <\/strong>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.<\/span><\/p>\n

HH 4: Huge bag of almonds. <\/strong>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!<\/span><\/p>\n

HH 5: Salad spinner<\/strong>. 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.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
